1.	When a hot body heats up a cold body, is the temperature change of both the bodies the same? Explain the answer.
Answer» Solution :The change in TEMPERATURE of the two bodies WOULD differ. Heat LOST by the hot body or gained by the cold body is equal to the product of (1) mass (2) specific heat and (3) change in temperature. HENCE, the body having higher mass and higher specific heat will have less change in temperature for the same amount of heat transfer.
