Class 7 Science Chapter 3 MCQ

The temperature 37 degree Celsius is described in Celsius scale while the temperature 98.6 degree Fahrenheit is described in Fahrenheit scale but they are actually equal. Both these values represent the normal average temperature of a human body.

We are advised not to hold the thermometer bulb while reading it, as the level of mercury increases from the actual reading due to our body temperature.

(36.4 + 37.4 + 36.6) degree Celsius = 110.4 For getting average body tem we should divide: “Total temperature” by “Number of times” Therefore, 110.4/3 = 36.8 degree Celsius

Energy does transfer between the two bodies continuously even if they are at the same temperature. There is always exchange of packets of energy at the interface of each and everybody. But there is no net energy transfer between the bodies.

We know that metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Generally, in cooking utensils are made of metals because they are good conductors of heat. Here, option [C] is best suitable for this question.

As we know, that gold and silver are the best conductor of heat and electricity whereas tungsten is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Convection occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy. Heat energy is transferred from hot places to cooler places by convection. Heat energy is transferred from hot places to cooler places by convection. Hence, your answer will be option [B].

A land which is surrounded by water heated not by convection. From the sun the heat comes to us by the process of radiation and heated all the objects which is present on the earth. Therefore, a land which is surrounded by water heated by radiation not by convection.

A clinical thermometer consists a uniform glass tube. Rest all the options are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [A].

Thermo flask is a special kind of class for keeping liquids. It consists of a double walled glass cylinder. A vacuum is created in the space between the two walls. Hence, radiation is actually minimized. Hence, your answer will be option [C].

Most of us use the word ‘heat’ to mean something that feels warm, but science defines heat as the flow of energy from a warm object to a cooler object. Heat spontaneously passes to its surroundings with medium or without any medium. Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases.

Here, all the statements are correct about “Heat”. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

There is a lot of concern over the use of mercury in thermometers. Mercury is a toxic substance and is very difficult to dispose of if a thermometer break. These days, digital thermometers are available which do not use mercury. Hence, your answer will be option [C].

The temperature 37 degree Celsius is described in Celsius scale while the temperature 98.6 degree Fahrenheit is described in Fahrenheit scale but they are actually equal. Both these values represent the normal average temperature of a human body.

Mercury is the only metal which is found in liquid state at room temperature and it expands when it receives heat. We should avoid keeping the clinical thermometer in the sun or near a flame because the clinical thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of human body only. This thermometer has the range of 35 degree Celsius to 42 degree Celsius. It may break in the sun or near a flame.

There are many conditions to break clinical thermometer as when kept in Sun, when hits by hard objects and when dipped in hot tea. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Clinical thermometer and digital thermometer are used to measure body temperature and laboratory thermometer is used to measure the temperature of boiling water or any object other than human body.

(36.4 + 37.4 + 36.6) degree Celsius = 110.4 For getting average body tem we should divide: “Total temperature” by “Number of times” Therefore, 110.4/3 = 36.8 degree Celsius

Heat is a form of energy whereas temperature is a thermal condition of body. Heat is a total amount of internal energy of a body while temperature is proportional to average kinetic energy of a molecules of a body. Rest all the options are correct except option [A].

After gold and silver, copper is a better conductor of heat than the stainless steel. And tungsten is worst conductor of heat which is used in electric bulb filament for its property of resistance. Hence, your answer will be option [C].

The transfer of heat by radiation does not require any medium. It can take place whether a medium is present or not. From the sun the heat comes to us by this process which is known as radiation. When we sit in front of a room heater, we get heat by this process. All the objects are heated from the rays of sun by this process.

We know that Mercury is liquid at room temperature and expand with heat. Expansion may apply pressure to break it.

Clothes of white colour reflects more heat than blue colours. Iron is the poor conductor of heat than aluminium. Our body is a good conductor of electricity. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

We are advised not to hold the thermometer bulb while reading it, as the level of mercury increases from the actual reading due to our body temperature. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

We will prefer white fabric tent in case of summer because it reflects all the radiations from the sun and keeps us cool inside the tent.
