Concept of Temperature: Short Questions and Numerical

Heat and temperature Short questions: 1.        Distinguish between heat and temperature? 2.        Distinguish between heat and work? 3.        When two bodies A and B are brought in contact, heat flows from body B to A. Which is at higher temperature? 4.        Why is mercury used commonly  as a thermometric substance? Give two reasons. 5.        What is thermal equilibrium? Can two object not in contact ever be in thermal equillibrium? 6.        State Zeroth law of thermodynamics? Define temperature on the basis of Zeroth law  of thermodynamics? 7.        Why two objects in thermal contact come in thermal equilibrium? 8.        Which physical quantity determines the direction of flow of heat? 9.        Is it necessary that when you add heat to a substance, there is increase in temperature of substance? 10.    What are the effects of heat? 11.    When  a solid is heated, what is the effect on its (i) volume (ii) density and (ii) mass ? 12.    What is therm
