Answer» 1. When both the hands are dipped in pot B containing normal water, left hand feels it hot while right hands feel it cool. 2. We are not able to decide whether water in pot B is hot or cold. Because at the same point of time our one hand feels it cool and other feels it hot. 3. This experiment shows that our sense of touch is not reliable to decide about the hotness or coldness of an object. 4. By measuring the temperature of an object by thermometer, we can find how hot an object is really. 5. The property of hotness or coldness of an object as compared to other objects is called temperature. |
