The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement individually and then determine the relationship between them. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1 **Statement 1**: When an electric fan is switched on in a closed room, the air of the room is cooled. - When a fan is switched on, it creates air movement. This movement helps in the evaporation of sweat from our skin. As sweat evaporates, it absorbs heat from the body, leading to a cooling sensation. - However, the fan does not actually lower the temperature of the air in the room; it merely facilitates the cooling effect on our skin. Therefore, while we may feel cooler, the air temperature itself does not decrease significantly. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: This statement is somewhat misleading. The air does not cool down in temperature, but we feel cooler due to the evaporation of sweat. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2 **Statement 2**: When the fan is switched on, the speed of the air molecules will increase. - When the fan is turned on, it causes the air to move. This movement increases the kinetic energy of the air molecules, which means their speed increases. - The fan blades push the air, creating a flow that increases the speed of the air molecules in the vicinity of the fan. **Conclusion for Statement 2**: This statement is true. The speed of the air molecules does indeed increase when the fan is switched on. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between the Statements - Both statements are true, but they refer to different phenomena. Statement 1 discusses the cooling effect on humans due to evaporation, while Statement 2 discusses the increase in speed of air molecules due to the fan's operation. ### Final Conclusion - **Statement 1**: Misleading, as it implies a decrease in air temperature. - **Statement 2**: True, as it correctly describes the effect of the fan on air molecules. ### Answer Both statements have elements of truth, but Statement 1 is misleading in its implication about air temperature. ---
