प्रश्न
Why are athletes advised to put on extra clothes after competing on event?
उत्तर
Athletes perspire profusely after competing in an event. The latent heat of evaporation of the ‘sweat’ is withdrawn from the body itself and therefore, cools the body. Hence, if they do not put on extra clothes, they are likely to catch cold.

In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal, a 0.20 kg block of the metal at 150 °C is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent 0.025 kg) containing 150 cm3 of water at 27 °C. The final temperature is 40 °C. Compute the specific heat of the metal. If heat losses to the surroundings are not negligible, is your answer greater or smaller than the actual value for the specific heat of the metal?
