Can we measure the temperature of the object by touching it ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, we can.t measure the temperature of the object touching it. Because the temperature is the degree of hotness or coolness of a body. Only we can sense the hotness or coolness of the object.

Find whether the following sentences are true or false.If false correct the statement. When we cool the object the temperature of the object will be increased.

True or False .If false , give the correct statement: When we cool the object the temperature of the object will be increased.

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the following question . If the heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy . The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the the object attain the same value . In the process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object lose heat energy . If the system of both the object is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistance box ( meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two object only), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. How will you state the principle briefly ?
