Solved 2022 Semester 2 Question Paper ICSE Class 10 Physics — Question 5
Back to all questions(a) Why does it become colder after a hailstorm than during or before the hailstorm?
(b) 'If two bodies have the same specific heat capacities, then they will always absorb the same amount of heat if their temperature increases by the same amount.' State whether the given statement is true or false.
(a) It is generally cold after a hail storm than during and before it because after the hail storm, ice absorbs the heat energy required for it's melting from the surroundings, so the temperature of the surrounding falls further down and we feel more cold.
(b) The given statement is false. Heat energy absorbed by a body is directly proportional to the mass of the body i.e., Q ∝ m also. So, if the masses of the two bodies are different then they will absorb different amounts of heat.
