what could be the answer for this.....Answer in the paper says just in one line...They are made up of diff materials.

But my son says should explain as follows:

For container R, It is a good conductor of heat and hence lost heat quickly. And for container S, It is a poor conductor of heat and hence lost heat slowly...

I feel this way of answering is correct...

Pl let me know which is better and why?

Thx..

offering my answer :

the 2 containers are made of different material, hence they have different conductivity of heat, which cause them to cool down at different timing.

Thank you....

The answer is (3) W and X only. W can be obtained placing the whole mixture of the 4 substances together in water. Then, use a magnet on the remaining mixture (X,Y,Z), and a mixture of Y and Z will be taken out. What is left is X. Tada!

Gopal pumped air into 2 footballs. The footballs when fully inflated each have a capacity of 400cm3. For football A, he pumped 350cm3 into it and for football B he pumped 405cm3. Which of statement is correct?

(1) Ball A is heavier than Ball B
(2) Ball B has 405cm3 of air inside it
(3) Both Ball A and B has 400cm3 of air inside it
(4) Ball A and Ball B are of the same mass after air was pumped in.

Note: Answer (1) and (4) are obvious wrong.

Thanks!

(2) Air can be compressed so vol should be 400cm3
(3) Since A is not fully inflated, it cannot be 400cm3

Is this question from assessment bk or school's exams?

[milomilo]

In one of the school exam papers. Model answer is (3).


Also think cannot be 400cm3 because not fully inflated. But then what will be the next best answer??

hi offering my ans :

option 2 is wrong because although 405cm3 of air is pumped inside, the capacity of the ball is only 400cm3 so air will be compressed to fit into the same ball capacity of 400cm3 only.

option 3 is the correct answer. although only 350cm3 is pumped into ball b, air can space itself out to occupy the same capacity of the ball so ball b will also have 400cm3 of air.

take note of the concept : air can be compressed to occupy a smaller space; air can also be spaced out to occupy a bigger space because air has no definite volume.

hope this clarifies.
