Multiple choice physics temperature and heat applications of heat conduction applications of insulation clothes - our necessity
Metal floors cool more than a wood floor in winters because:

  1. Metal conducts heat more readily than wood

  2. Wood conducts heat more readily than metal

  3. Metal has a higher specific heat than wood

  4. The temperature of the wood is higher than the temperature of the metal

  5. The temperature of the metal is higher than the temperature of the wood
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Metals are good conductor of heat whereas wood does not conduct heat at all.

Thus in winters, metal floors cool more than a wood floor.

__and__are good conductors of heat

  1. Silver, Copper

  2. Wood,Plastic

  3. Glass,Paper

  4. Pure water,Iron
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Silver and copper are good conductors of heat.
$\because$ Silver and copper are only metals present there and as we know metals have conductivity of heat and electricity than non-metal and metalloids. So, silver and copper are god conductors of heat.

State the correct statement

  1. When we heat an object, it becomes hot

  2. When we heat an object, it expands in size

  3. When we heat an object, it changes its such such as water boils to form water vapour

  4. All of them are true
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

When we heat an object, it changes its shape, nature and it becomes hot, the temperature increases due to movement of atoms.

The ............ the conductor, the more rapidly does heat transfer takes place.

  1. better

  2. worse

  3. thinner

  4. thicker
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The better the conductor, the more rapidly does heat transfer takes place .


Better conductor means more thermal conductivity; more the thermal conductivity; more rapidly the heat transfer takes place.
