        5. Fog, which is formed early in the morning during winter season will disappear after sunrise.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Question 5.
          \nWhy do we feel cool when nail polish is applied to nails?
          \nAnswer:
          \nNail polish contains acetone which absorb heat energy from our body and evaporates. So the body temperature decreases. So we feel cool when nail polish applied to nails.<\/p>\n

          Question 6.
          \nWhy do we store water in earthen pots?
          \nAnswer:
          \nThe earthen pots have small pores in it. From that pores water tends to evaporates by gaining heat energy from the pot. So water in pots is cool. So water is stored in earthen pots.<\/p>\n

          Question 7.
          \nWhy do clothes dry faster on a sunny and windy day compared to rainy season ?
          \nAnswer:
          \nIf the amount of water vapour is high in air the rate of evaporation will decrease. So clothes dry slowly during rainy season but fast on a sunny and windy day.<\/p>\n

          Question 8.
          \nWhy do we require pressure cookers at higher altitudes?
          \nAnswer:
          \nAt higher altitudes the atmospheric pressure decreases. So the boiling point of water decreases. So, the heat energy supplied is not sufficient to cook food. Therefore we require a pressure cooker to increase the pressure. Thus the boiling point of water inside the cooker increases to 120\u00b0C and heat energy is sufficient to cook food.<\/p>\n

          Question 9.
          \nTwo pieces of cotton rolls one is soaked in \u2018A\u2019 chemical, and other one is soaked in \u2018B\u2019 chemical are inserted in a glass tube as shown in the figure.

          Question 10.
          \nOne part of the substance was boiled in water at 100\u00b0C. Other part of the substance was boiled in water vapour at 100\u00b0C.
          \na) Which one would be boiled fast?
          \nb) Guess the reason.
          \nAnswer:
          \na) Substance boiled in water vapour at 100\u00b0C is boiled fast.
          \nb) Particles in water vapour at 100\u00b0C have more energy than the particles in liquid water at the same temperature. This is because of particles in water vapour have absorbed additional energy in the form of heat of vaporization.<\/p>\n

          Question 11.
          \nBalaraju hanged his washed clothes under fan which is rotating.

                  \nHow is marine life possible in extremely cold areas ?
                  \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. The volume of water between 0\u00b0C to 4\u00b0C shrinks.<\/li>\n
                  2. Same amount of water in solid ice occupies more volume than liquid water.<\/li>\n
                  3. So ice floats on water rather than shrinking.<\/li>\n
                  4. In extremely cold weather, the water at the top becomes colder and colder, until it freezes.<\/li>\n
                  5. While the ice floats on the top, the animals continue to live in the water below, which does not freeze and remains at 4\u00b0C.<\/li>\n
                  6. The ice on the top of the pond insulates the water, below it as it stops the water from losing the heat to air.<\/li>\n
                  7. This is very important for survival of marine life which lives in ponds in the colder areas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
