1) What is the relationship between temperature and heat?

2 Marks
Heat is energy which is transferred from a body at high temperature to a body at lower
temperature. There are three methods by which heat energy can be transferred: • by
conduction • by convection • by radiation
While temperature is using our sense of touch to describe objects as hot, warm or cold. We
The temperature of an object is determined by how much the particles move or vibrate inside
it.
2) What is the connection between the kinetic energy of particles and temperature?3
Marks

The temperature of an object is determined by how much the particles move or vibrate inside
it. When an object feels hot it means that its particles are vibrating or moving faster than
they were at a lower temperature. Therefore the particles of a cold object vibrate or move
more slowly. Energy of motion is called kinetic energy. Particles in a hot object have more
kinetic energy than those in a cold object

3) Why do humans wear wooly clothing during winter. 3 Marks

We use clothing to insulate our bodies from our surroundings, and the type of clothing we
wear will affect how comfortable we are.People who live in colder climates often wear clothing
made of insulating fibres, such as wool, in order to keep warm. Woollen cloth is made of
loosely woven fibres that trap air, which is a poor conductor of heat. This reduces theloss of
body heat to the surroundings since the heat from the body passes more slowly through the
air spaces and fibres by conduction or convection
4) Why would a solid object melt on heating?3 Marks
warmer liquids are less dense and so rise. If the water is heated at the top the warm water
remains at the top and does not sink. In fact you will find that the bottom of the tube can be
comfortably held with your bare hands since no heat will travel downwards by convection.
However, convection currents will always be observed when water is heated at the bottom.
So, always heat a testtube of liquid at the top to avoid sudden ‘bumping’
5) Write any two differences between mercury and alcohol.4 Marks

6) Write any two differences between clinical thermometer and laboratory

thermometer.4 Marks
The clinical thermometer
-contains mercury
-is used to measure the temperature of the human body.
-above the bulb there is a bend or constriction in the capillary tube
-The range of the temperature scale on the clinical thermometer is very small, usually
between 35°C and 43°C.
laboratory thermometer
-contains alcohol
-Not constriction in capillary tube
-used in labs
-more room for incorrect readings

7) Write any two differences between heat and temperature.4 Marks

Heat refers to the amount of energy in an object, measuring the total kinetic and
potential energy contained by the molecules in that object. Temperature refers to the
intensity of heat, measuring the average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance.
