9. An iron ball at 40°C is dropped in a mug containing water at 40°C. The heat will

(a) flow from iron ball to water.

(b) not flow from iron ball to water or from water to iron ball.

(c) flow from water to iron ball.

(d) increase the temperature of both.

If an iron ball at  40\degree C  is dropped in a mug containing water at 40\degree C.  Then, the heat will

(b) not flow from iron ball to water or from water to iron ball.

Because heat will flow from an object with high temperature to an object having a low temperature.  But here temperature of both liquid and iron ball is same.
Therefore, no flow of heat take place

8. One litre of water at 30°C is mixed with one litre of water at 50°C. The temperature of the mixture will be

(a) 80°C

(b) more than 50°C but less than 80°C

(c) 20°C

(d) between 30°C and 50°C

If one litre of water at 30\degree C is mixed with one litre of water at 50\degree C. Then, the temperature of the mixture will be

(d) between 30\degree C and  50\degree C

Because as the volume of both the liquids with temperature  30\degree C and  50\degree C is equal. Therefore, when we add both the liquids there is transferred of heat take place from a liquid with high temperature to a liquid with a low temperature. That's why temperature is between 30\degree C and  50\degree C

7. In places of hot climate it is advised that the outer walls of houses be painted white. Explain.

In places of hot climate it is advised that the outer walls of houses be painted white because white is a light colour and because of that it reflects back most of the heat that falls on it and a very less amount of heat is absorbed by the walls.

Therefore, a light colour tends to keep the house cool

Look at Fig. 4.13. Mark where the heat is being transferred by conduction, by convection and by radiation.

Three stages are :-

i)  Transfer of heat from burner to pan is take place through radiation.

ii) Transfer of heat from pan to water is take place through conduction.

iii) Transfer of heat within water is take place through convection.
