A person living in Shimla observed that cooking food without using pressure cooker takes more time. The reason for this observation is that at high altitude :

A

pressure increases

B

temperature decreases

C

temperature increases

D

pressure decreases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Pressure at the peak of a mountain is low. This suggests that boiling takes place at lower temperature and due to this, things thake more time to boil. However, in a pressure cooker, as pressure increased boiling point also increases. Hence, things boils in a pressure cooker in a less time.

To demonstrate the process of thermoelectric production with a model. Apparatus and materials: Pressure cooker, pipe, tennis ball, metal sheet, dynamo, bulb. Procedure : rarr Take a table-tennis ball and make three slits into it. rarr Put semicircular fins cut out of a metal sheet into these slits. rarr Pivot the tennis ball on an axle through its centre with a straight metal wire fixed to a rigid support. Ensure that the tennis ball rotates freely about the axle. rarr Now connect a cycle dynamo to this. rarr Connect a bulb in series. rarr Direct a jet of water or steam produced in a pressure cooker at the fins. Note down your observation. Observation : The bulb gets lighted. Which energy conversion do you think is taking place in this model ?

Take two glass jars and fill them with water. Now, take tow onion bulbs and place one on each jar, as shown in fig 6.1 Observe the growth of roots in both the bubls for a few days. Measure the lenght of roots on day 1,2 and 3. On day 4, cut the root tips of the onion bulb in jar 2 by about 1 cm. After this, ovbserve the growth of roots in both the jars and measure their lengths each day for live more days and record the observations. Which of the two onions has longer roots ?

When a situation demands our immediate action, it takes some time before we really respond. Reaction time is the time a person takes to observe, think and act. For example, if a person is driving and suddenly a boy appears on the road, then the time elapsed before he slams the brakes of the car is the reaction time. Reaction time depends on complexity of the situation and on an individual. You can measure your reaction time by a simple experiment. Take a ruler and ask your friend to drop it vertically through the gap between your thumb and forefinger . After you catch it, find the distance d travelled by the ruler. In a particular case, d was found to be 21.0 cm. Estimate reaction time.
