Question
Why a person takes time to feel hot if he fills glass beaker with hot water?
Choices
| Choice (4) | Response | |
|---|---|---|
a. | Glass is a poor conductor of heat. | |
b. | Water is a good conductor of heat. | |
c. | Water is a poor conductor of heat. | |
d. | Glass is a good conductor of heat. | |
Answer
a.Explanation
Conductor means is allowed to flow something. We can also say that it allowed to passing something from heat. The water is good conductor of heat but in above case takes several seconds before his hand starts to feel the heat. Because glass is poor conductor of heat, so it takes time to passing the heat of water to his hand.

Question
A glass tank contains some water. If length QR and the width RS of the tank are known. What other distance must be known to calculate the volume of the water?
A Glass Tank Contain Some Water
Choices
| Choice (4) | Response | |
|---|---|---|
a. | ST | |
b. | TU | |
c. | TV | |
d. | SV | |
Answer
a.Explanation
Here in given figure, water inside the glass tank filled till height ST.
Now, to find the volume we must know about Length, breath and height.
Here length and width QR and RS is given respectively.
And height is ST = RU
Here only ST is unknown
So, we need ST distance.
