Very Short answer question:

Q5. Which thermometer is to be used for measuring the temperature of boiling water and why?

Laboratory thermometer is used to measure the temperature of boiling water. It has a

temperature range from -100C to 1100C, whereas clinical thermometer has temperature range
from 350C to 420C.

Q6. Two thin blankets are usually warmer than one thick blanket.

i) The statement given above is true or false?

True

ii) Give reason to support your answer.

This is because, the air trapped in between the layers of blankets acts as insulator and does not
let the body heat escape. Thus, keeping you warm.

Q7. A firefighting suit is bright and shiny; Give reason.

Short answer question:

Q8. Two objects at the same temperature, one is smaller than the other, are placed together. In which direction
will the heat be transferred? Give reason.
 The heat will be transferred from higher temperature to lower temperature irrespective of the
size of the object.

Q9. Convert the following as directed:

i) 1520F into Celsius

152 – 32 = 120
