Is heat a conserved quantity?

A spinning wheel A is brought in contact with another wheel B, initially at rest. Because of the friction at contact, the second wheel also starts spinning. Which of the following energies of the wheel B increases?
(a) Kinetic
(b) Total
(c) Mechanical
(d) Internal

In a calorimeter, the heat given by the hot object is assumed to be equal to the heat taken by the cold object. Does it mean that heat of the two objects taken together remains constant?

A body A is placed on a railway platform and an identical body B in a moving train. Which of the following energies of B are greater than those of A, as seen from the ground?
(a) Kinetic
(b) Total
(c) Mechanical
(d) Internal

As the temperature is increased, the time period of a pendulum

When a solid melts or a liquid boils, the temperature does not increase even when heat is supplied. Where does the energy go?

A person's skin is more severely burnt when put in contact with 1 g of steam at 100°C than when put in contact with 1 g of water at 100°C. Explain

(d) may decrease

The temperature of a solid object is observed to be constant during a period. In this period

(a) heat may have been supplied to the body

(b) heat may have been extracted from the body

(c) no heat is supplied to the body

(d) no heat is extracted from the body

The temperature of an object is observed to rise in a period. In this period

(a) heat is certainly supplied to it

(b) heat is certainly not supplied to it

(c) heat may have been supplied to it

(d) work may have been done on it

A resistance thermometer reads R = 20.0 Ω, 27.5 Ω, and 50.0 Ω at the ice point (0°C), the steam point (100°C) and the zinc point (420°C), respectively. Assuming that the resistance varies with temperature as R_θ = R₀ (1 + αθ + βθ²), find the values of R₀, α and β. Here θ represents the temperature on the Celsius scale.
