EFFECTIVE COOLANT - WATER

Water has high specific heat capacity 4200J/(Kg°C) so it can absorb large amount of heat without much rise in it's own temperature.

ISLANDS ENJOY MODERATE CLIMATE

 Islands or coastal areas enjoy moderate climate. Why?

Ans. Water has higher heat specific capacity than the land due to which there is the continuous formation of sea breeze and land breeze near the coastal areas. This keeps the temperature moderate.

PRINCIPLE OF CALORIMETRY

If no heat is exchanged with surrounding, heat lost by the hot body is equal to heat gained by the cold body. 

70 to 80% water in plants and animals. Why?

Plants and animals have 70-80% water so that they can maintain body temperature as water has high specific heat capacity.

FARMERS FILL THEIR FIELDS WITH WATER.

Farmers fill their crop fields with water to protect from frost: why?

Water has high specific heat capacity so it delays the surrounding temperature to fall to zero degree Celsius ,thus protecting the crops from frost

FOMENTATION

Why is water used in fomentation ?

Water has high specific capacity due to which it cools slowly and imparts large amount of heat to our body.

Why are there only two types of electric charges?

There are two types of charges because we can establish charges only by loss or gain of electrons present in the orbits of an atom. 

By losing electrons  a body gets positively charged and by gaining electrons it gets negatively charged. 

Electron is the fundamental charge. It's taken as negatively charged. 

Why do you need moisturising cream in winter season?

 Q. Why do you need moisturising cream in winter season?

Answer: As the humidity is low in winter season where there is no winter rainfall, skin loses water due to evaporation and has tendency to dry quickly. To prevent this we need moisturising cream.

TRIBO-ELECTRIC SERIES

 TRIBO-ELECTRIC SERIES 

The series in which the substances are arranged according to their tendency to lose or gain electrons on rubbing each other. The higher the position of the substance, it has the tendency to lose electrons and to gain positive charge on rubbing.

The series of common substances  follows,

Air

Human hair

Rabbit's fur

Glass

Hair

Silk

Paper

Cotton

Steel

Wood

Amber

Rubber balloon

Plastic wrap

Ebonite

Example:

When glass rod is rubbed with silk, the rod loses electrons and get positively charged whereas silk gains electrons from the rod and gets negatively charged. Please check the position of glass in relation with silk. Glass is placed above silk.

Longitudinal and Transverse Waves

 LONGITUDINAL WAVES

The waves in which the particles of a medium vibrate in the  direction of propagation of wave are called a longitudinal wave.

These waves propagate in the form of compressions and rarefactions.

Example: Sound waves in air.

TRANSVERSE WAVES

The waves in which the particles particles of a medium vibrate in the direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of waves are called transverse waves.

These waves propagate in the form of Crests and troughs 

Example: water ripples
