Solution:
(A)
Experiments have demonstrated that low density gases have comparable expansion behaviour. If we keep the volume of the gas constant, the pressure rises monotonically as the temperature rises. As a result, any low density gas can be used for a constant volume gas thermometer.
(B)
A mercury manometer is coupled to a gas bulb in a constant volume gas thermometer. The volume of the bulb is kept constant by external techniques as the temperature of the bulb rises, and the pressure of the gas rises. This pressure is used to define the temperature scale. (T = kP, where k is an integer.)
(A)
The circumference of the hole is composed of metal. When the sheet is heated, the circular circumference expands, increasing the size of the hole. The hole will not distort since the sheet is uniform in all directions from the centre of the hole and is likewise uniformly heated.
(B)
The calorimeter principle asserts that heat lost by a hot body is the same as heat absorbed by a cool body if no heat is lost to the surroundings. The opposite assertion, that the quantity of heat flow from a sample to two separate samples of the same mass is a product of their specific heats and temperature differences, is correct, but it is not a calorimetric concept. It is simply a mathematical method of comprehending heat transport.
(A)
When the vapour pressure of a liquid equals the air pressure, boiling occurs. The vapour pressure rises as the temperature rises. When the temperature rises sufficiently, boiling begins. However, as pressure increases, higher vapour pressure must be reached, which is obtained by raising temperature, and therefore the boiling point rises.
(C)
Water can exist in all three phases that are thermally balanced with one another. It is known as the triple point of water. When a substance is heated, it can go from solid to gas. This is known as sublimation. The boiling point rises as pressure falls. At constant pressure, phase change occurs.
(B)
Conduction is the transmission of heat energy caused by the vibration of molecules at their locations, while convection is the transfer of heat energy caused by the motion of molecules themselves, and radiation is the transfer of heat energy caused by electromagnetic waves. When water is placed in an extremely hot pan, the water molecules in direct contact with the pan become heated and migrate away, allowing the colder molecules to settle down and touch the pan, thereby becoming heated. The movement of heated molecules represents convection.
(B)
Conduction heat transfer happens as a result of an initial temperature difference. Heat flow per unit time for a given temperature differential can quantify conduction heat flow. It is important to note that temperature differences induce heat flow, not the other way around.
(A)
Radiation does not require any medium for heat transmission. When a cooking pan is heated on a gas stove, conduction is the process that transfers heat from the flame to the pan. Radiation is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves known as radiant energy.
(D)
When one end of a rod is held in fire. The temperature at that end will be equivalent to that of fire. The temperature will steadily drop towards the other end. At steady state, the rate of heat transfer is constant, and the temperature at each location is constant but varies non-uniformly over the length of the rod.
(A)
$\Delta U=\Delta Q=m c \Delta T$
$=100 \times 10^{-3} \times 4184(50-30) \approx 8.4 k J$
(B)
$T_{1} V^{\gamma-1}=T_{2}(32 V)^{\gamma-1}$
$\Rightarrow T_{1}=(32)^{\gamma-1} \cdot T_{2}$
For diatomic gas, $\gamma=\dfrac{7}{5}$
$\therefore \gamma-1=\dfrac{2}{5}$
$\therefore T_{1}=(32)^{\dfrac{2}{5}} \cdot T_{2} \Rightarrow T_{1}=4 T_{2}$
Now, efficiency $=1-\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$
$=1-\dfrac{T_{2}}{4 T_{2}}$
$=1-\dfrac{1}{4}$
$=\dfrac{3}{4}$
$=0.75 .$
(A)
Volume $=\dfrac{\text { mass }}{\text { density }}=\dfrac{1}{4} m^{3}$
$K . E=\dfrac{5}{2} P V$
$=\dfrac{5}{2} \times 8 \times 10^{4} \times \dfrac{1}{4}$
$=5 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~J}$
(C)
Heat lost by $\mathrm{He}=$ Heat gained by $N_{2}$
$n_{1} C v_{1} \Delta T_{1}=n_{2} C v_{2} \Delta T_{2}$
$\dfrac{3}{2} R\left[\dfrac{7}{3} T_{0}-T_{f}\right]$
$=\dfrac{5}{2} R\left[T_{f}-T_{0}\right] \Rightarrow T_{f} $
$=\dfrac{3}{2} T_{0}$
(A)
Here $Q=0$ and $W=0$. Therefore from first law of thermodynamics $\Delta U=Q+W=0$
$\therefore$ Internal energy of the system with partition $=$ Internal energy of the system without partition.
$n_{1} C_{v} T_{1}+n_{2} C_{v} T_{2}=\left(n_{1}+n_{2}\right) C_{v} T $
$\therefore T=\dfrac{n_{1} T_{1}+n_{2} T_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}$
But $n_{1}=\dfrac{P_{1} V_{1}}{R T_{1}}$ and $n_{2}=\dfrac{P_{2} V_{2}}{R T_{2}}$
$\therefore T=\dfrac{\dfrac{P_{1} V_{1}}{R T_{1}} \times T_{1}+\dfrac{P_{2} V_{2}}{R T_{2}} \times T_{2}}{\dfrac{P_{1} V_{1}}{R T_{1}}+\dfrac{P_{2} V_{2}}{R T_{2}}} $
$=\dfrac{T_{1} T_{2}\left(P_{1} V_{1}+P_{2} V_{2}\right)}{P_{1} V_{1} T_{2}+P_{2} V_{2} T_{1}}$
(B)
$\eta=1-\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$
$=1-\dfrac{(273+27)}{(273+627)}$
$=1-\dfrac{300}{900}$
$=1-\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{2}{3}$
But $\eta=\dfrac{W}{Q}$
$\therefore \dfrac{W}{Q}=\dfrac{2}{3} \Rightarrow W$
$=\dfrac{2}{3} \times Q$
$=\dfrac{2}{3} \times 3 \times 10^{6}$
$=2 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{cal}$
$=2 \times 10^{6} \times 4.2 \mathrm{~J}$
$=8.4 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~J}$
(D)
$P \propto T^{3} \Rightarrow P T^{-3}=$ constant .... $(i)$
But for an adiabatic process, the pressure temperature relationship is given by $P^{1-\gamma} T^{\gamma}=$ constant $\Rightarrow P T^{\dfrac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}}=$ constant. .... $(i i)$
From $(i)$ and $(i i) \dfrac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}=-3 \Rightarrow \gamma=-3+3 \gamma \Rightarrow \gamma=\dfrac{3}{2}$
(C)
If $n_{1}$ moles of adiabatic exponent $\gamma_{1}$ is mixed with $n_{2}$ moles of adiabatic exponent $\gamma_{2}$ then the adiabatic component of the resulting mixture is given by
$\dfrac{n_{1}+n_{2}}{\gamma-1}=\dfrac{n_{1}}{\gamma_{1}-1}+\dfrac{n_{2}}{\gamma_{2}-1} $
$\dfrac{1+1}{\gamma-1}=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{7}{5}-1}+\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{5}{3}-1}$
$\therefore \dfrac{2}{\gamma-1}=\dfrac{5}{2}+\dfrac{3}{2}=4$
$\therefore 2=4 \gamma-4 \Rightarrow \gamma=\dfrac{6}{4}=\dfrac{3}{2}$
(D)
$v_{r m s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{R T}{M}}$
For $v_{r m s}$ to be equal $\dfrac{T_{H_{2}}}{M_{H_{2}}}=\dfrac{T_{O_{2}}}{M_{O_{2}}}$
Here $M_{H_{2}}=2 ; M_{O_{2}}=32$
$T_{O_{2}}=47+273=320 K$
$\therefore \dfrac{T_{H_{2}}}{2}=\dfrac{320}{32}$
$\Rightarrow T_{H_{2}}=20 K$
$v_{r m s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{R T}{M}}$
For $v_{r m s}$ to be equal $\dfrac{T_{H_{2}}}{M_{H_{2}}}=\dfrac{T_{O_{2}}}{M_{O_{2}}}$
Here $M_{H_{2}}=2 ; M_{O_{2}}=32$
$T_{O_{2}}=47+273=320 K$
$\therefore \dfrac{T_{H_{2}}}{2}=\dfrac{320}{32}$
$\Rightarrow T_{H_{2}}=20 K$
(C)
Here, work done is zero.
So, loss in kinetic energy $=$ change in internal energy of gas
$\dfrac{1}{2} m v^{2}=n C_{v} \Delta T=n \dfrac{R}{\gamma-1} \Delta T $
$\dfrac{1}{2} m v^{2}=\dfrac{m}{M} \dfrac{R}{\gamma-1} \Delta T $
$\therefore \Delta T=\dfrac{M v^{2}(\gamma-1)}{2 R} K$
(B)
The moment of inertia of a regular solid rod about its perpendicular bisector is given by $(I)=m L^{2}$, where $m$ is the rod's mass and $L$ is the rod's length.
The angular momentum of a rotating object is given by $L=I \omega$ where $\omega$ is the object's angular velocity.
In the absence of any external torque on the body, like in the case of the provided question, the angular momentum remains constant, implying that as the moment of inertia grows, so must the angular velocity.
We've been told that heat is being delivered to the rod at a consistent pace, indicating that the rod's temperature will rise and expand linearly. As we have established a relationship between the two values above, the rod's moment of inertia will grow as the length of the rod increases. When heat is applied to the rod, its moment of inertia increases, and a higher moment of inertia equals a lower angular velocity. As a result, we can say that the rotation's speed will slow.
(A)
First, define the term "simple pendulum." A simple pendulum is an ideal pendulum composed of a point mass hung by a weightless inextensible perfectly flexible thread and then free to oscillate without friction. This is what distinguishes it from a physical pendulum.
A basic pendulum's time period is defined as the time for one complete cycle, a left swing and a right swing, which is referred to as a period. The time period of a pendulum is determined by its length and, to a lesser extent, by its amplitude, or the width of its swing.
The following formula defines the time period of a basic pendulum:
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}$......(i)
L denotes the effective length of the pendulum in the preceding expression, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
We know that as the temperature rises, so does the effective length or L of the simple pendulum. This occurs even when the centre of mass remains at the centre of the bob.
From the equation (1) we can say that $T \alpha \sqrt{L}$
Thus, the $\mathrm{T}$ rises as the temperature increases.
(A)
Heating a substance stimulates the molecules of that substance, causing the molecules to move vigorously, giving the molecules velocity, and we know kinetic energy of a body is by virtue of its motion.
(C)
The masses of the provided forms are all the same. The surface area of the round plate will be the greatest of the three. This will allow the plate to cool down more quickly. The sphere will have the smallest surface area for a given volume of the three shapes. As a result, the sphere will cool the slowest. As a result, the plate will cool the fastest and the sphere will cool the slowest.
(C) is the correct answer: the plate will cool the fastest and the spherical will cool the slowest.
(B and C)
As in an oven, when we set any thing to be cooked in it and turn it on, the electromagnetic radiation created inside it begins to change in thermal energy, which is the cause of the cooked substance that is placed in the oven. Since the heating time of a substance is determined by its surface area, the larger the surface area, the longer it will take to cook, and the smaller the surface area, the sooner it will cook.
From the specified sizes of Gulab Jamuns, the smaller one will have a smaller surface area than the larger one, and among the pizzas, the pizza with the smaller radius will be heated and baked before the larger one. As a result, smaller gulab jamuns are prepared before larger ones, and smaller pizzas are heated before larger ones.
As a result, B and C are the correct answers.
