Did you know that the main ingredient in ice cream is air? Alas, such fun trivia doesn’t come into play for the Primary School Leaving Examination. Can you read this question in the 2016 paper and answer both parts?
The law of thermodynamics says that the temperatures in two different places tend to balance out. I think the answers to both questions could be the same. As there is an extra layer of insulation, the temperatures take longer to equilibrate. In these cases, the temperature tries to balance with the ambient temperature.
