Explanation:
The increase in temperature of the diatomic mole,
$\Delta$T = 40$^\circ$C
Now, the degree of freedom
f = linear + rotational + no oscillation
f = 3 + 2 + 0 $\Rightarrow$ f = 5
Change in internal energy,
$\Delta$U = nCv$\Delta$T .... (i)
where, ${C_v} = {f \over 2}R = {5 \over 2}R$
Substituting the value in Eq. (i), we get
$\Delta U = {{5R} \over 2}nR\Delta T$
Now, work done by the gas for isobaric process,
$W = p\Delta V = nR\Delta T$
The ratio of the change in internal energy to the work done by the gas,
${{\Delta U} \over W} = {{{5 \over 2}nR\Delta T} \over {nR\Delta T}}$
$ = {{\Delta U} \over W} = {5 \over 2}$
Multiply and divide the above equation with 5, we get
${{\Delta U} \over W} = {{5 \times 5} \over {2 \times 5}} = {{25} \over {10}}$
Comparing with given equation, ${{\Delta U} \over W} = {x \over {10}}$
The value of the x = 25.
Explanation:
Translational kinetic energy of dinitrogen (N2)
$KE = {3 \over 2}{K_B}T$
Here, T = temperature of the gas,
and KB = Boltzmann constant.
Kinetic energy of an electron = eV
Given, the potential differential of an electron, V = 0.1 V
Substituting the values in the Eq. (i), we get
${3 \over 2}{K_B}T = eV$
$ \Rightarrow {3 \over 2} \times 1.38 \times {10^{ - 23}} \times T = 1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}} \times (0.1)$
$T = 773K = 773 - 273^\circ C = 500^\circ C$
Explanation:
p1v1v = p2v2v
(200) (1200)1.5 = P2 (300)1.5
P2 = 200 [4]3/2 = 1600 kPa
$\left| {W.D.} \right| = {{{p_2}{v_2} - {p_1}{v_1}} \over {v - 1}} = \left( {{{480 - 240} \over {0.5}}} \right) = 480$ J
Explanation:
Work done = Qin $-$ Qout = 300 $-$ 240 = 60 J
Efficiency = ${W \over {{Q_{in}}}} = {{60} \over {300}} = {1 \over 5}$
efficiency = $1 - {{{T_2}} \over {{T_1}}}$
${1 \over 5} = 1 - {{400} \over {{T_1}}} \Rightarrow {{400} \over {{T_1}}} = {4 \over 5}$
T1 = 500 k
Explanation:
Rods are identical so
RAB = RCD = 10 Kw$-$1
C is mid-point of AB, so
RAC = RCB = 5 Kw$-$1
at point C
${{200 - T} \over 5} = {{T - 125} \over {10}} + {{T - 100} \over 5}$
2(200 $-$ T) = T $-$ 125 + 2(T $-$ 100)
400 $-$ 2T = T $-$ 125 + 2T $-$ 200
$T = {{725} \over 5}$ = 145$^\circ$C
${I_h} = {{145 - 125} \over {10}}w = {{20} \over {10}}w$
Ih = 2w
Explanation:
$\lambda = {1 \over {\sqrt 2 \pi {d^2}n}}$
${{{\lambda _1}} \over {{\lambda _2}}} = {{d_2^2{n_2}} \over {d_1^2{n_1}}}$
$ = {\left( {{5 \over {10}}} \right)^2} = 0.25 = 25 \times {10^{ - 2}}$
(Young's modulus of material of track is 1011 Nm$-$2)
Explanation:
${{(Stress)} \over y} = \alpha \Delta T$ or $\sigma = Y\alpha \Delta T$
Energy stored per unit volume = ${1 \over 2}{\sigma \over Y}$
$\Rightarrow$ Energy stored per unit length = ${{A{\sigma ^2}} \over {2Y}}$
$ = {A \over 2} \times Y{\alpha ^2}\Delta {T^2}$
$ = {{{{10}^{ - 2}} \times {{10}^{11}} \times {{10}^{ - 10}} \times 100} \over 2} = 5$ J/m
Explanation:
$W = nRT\ln \left( {{{{V_2}} \over {{V_1}}}} \right)$
= 1 $\times$ 8.3 $\times$ 300 $\times$ ln2
= 17258 $\times$ 10$-$1 J
Explanation:
Here, r1 = 10 $\times$ 103 m and r2 = 10 $\times$ 10-3 m
We know that for a complete cyclic process, change in internal energy, ($\Delta$U) = 0 .... (i)
According to 1st law of thermodynamics,
$\Delta$Q = $\Delta$U + W ..... (ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
$\Rightarrow$ $\Delta$Q = 0 + W
$\Rightarrow$ $\Delta$Q = W .... (iii)
$\because$ W = Area = $\pi$r1r2
= $\pi$ $\times$ (10 $\times$ 103) $\times$ (10 $\times$ 10$-$3)
W = 100 $\pi$ J .... (iv)
From Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get
$\Delta$Q = 100 $\pi$ J
Explanation:
Given, temperature of source, TH = 127$^\circ$C
= 273 + 127 = 400 K
Efficiencies, $\eta $ = 60% = 0.6
The efficiency of Carnot (ideal) heat engine is given by
$\eta = \left( {1 - {{{T_L}} \over {{T_H}}}} \right)$
where, TL = temperature of sink,
$0.6 = \left( {1 - {{{T_L}} \over {{T_H}}}} \right) \Rightarrow {{{T_L}} \over {{T_H}}} = 1 - 0.6$
${{{T_L}} \over {{T_H}}} = 0.4 \Rightarrow {T_L} = 0.4 \times {T_H}$
$ = 0.4 \times 400 = 160K$
$ = 160 - 273 = - 113^\circ C$
Explanation:
$Q = \Delta U + W$
$Q = \Delta U + {Q \over 5}$
$\Delta U = {{4Q} \over 5}$
$n{C_v}\Delta T = {4 \over 5}nC\Delta T$
${5 \over 4}{C_v} = C$
$C = {5 \over 4}\left( {{f \over 2}} \right)R = {5 \over 4}\left( {{5 \over 2}} \right)R$
$C = {{25} \over 8}R$
$X = 25$
Explanation:
$W = \int {PdV} $ .... (1)
$ \Rightarrow P = {{nRT} \over V}$ .... (2)
$ \Rightarrow W = \int {{{nRT} \over V}dv} $ .... (3)
and given $V = K{T^{2/3}}$ .... (4)
$ \Rightarrow W = \int {{{nRT} \over {K{T^{2/3}}}}.dv} $ .... (5)
$ \Rightarrow $ from (4) : $dv = {2 \over 3}K{T^{ - 1/3}}dT$
$ \Rightarrow W = \int\limits_{{T_1}}^{{T_2}} {{{nRT} \over {K{T^{2/3}}}}{2 \over 3}K{1 \over {{T^{1/3}}}}} dT$
$ \Rightarrow W = {2 \over 3}nR \times \left( {{T_2} - {T_1}} \right)$ .... (6)
$ \Rightarrow {T_2} - {T_1} = 90K$ .... (7)
$ \Rightarrow W = {2 \over 3}nR \times 90$
$ \Rightarrow W = 60nR$
Assuming 1 mole of gas
n = 1
So, W = 60R
Explanation:
${3 \over 2}{n_1}R{T_1} + {3 \over 2}{n_2}R{T_2} = {3 \over 2}({n_1} + {n_2})RT$
Using PV = nRT
P1V1 + P2V2 = P(V1 + V2)
$P = {{{P_1}{V_1} + {P_2}{V_2}} \over {{V_1} + {V_2}}} = {{2 \times 4.5 + 3 \times 5.5} \over {4.5 + 5.5}}$
$P = {{9 + 16.5} \over {10}} = {{25.5} \over {10}}$
$ \approx 25 \times {10^{ - 1}}$ atm
Explanation:
${1 \over 4} = 1 - {{{T_1}} \over {{T_2}}}$
${{{T_1}} \over {{T_2}}} = {3 \over 4}$
When the temperature of the sink is reduced by 52K then its efficiency is doubled.
${1 \over 2} = 1 - {{\left( {{T_1} - 52} \right)} \over {{T_2}}}$
${{{T_1} - 52} \over {{T_2}}} = {1 \over 2}$
${{{T_1}} \over {{T_2}}}{{ - 52} \over {{T_2}}} = {1 \over 2}$
${3 \over 4} - {{52} \over {{T_2}}} = {1 \over 2}$
${{52} \over {{T_2}}} = {1 \over 4}$
${T_2} = 208$ K
Explanation:
To find the change in temperature of a monoatomic gas when the container it is in is suddenly stopped, we can follow these steps:
Relationship Between Kinetic Energy and Internal Energy Change:
The kinetic energy lost by the container when it stops is converted into the internal energy of the gas:
$ \Delta KE = \Delta U $
Expression for Internal Energy Change:
The change in internal energy can be expressed in terms of the change in temperature:
$ \Delta U = n C_v \Delta T $
where $ n $ is the number of moles, $ C_v $ is the molar heat capacity at constant volume, and $ \Delta T $ is the change in temperature.
Using the Kinetic Energy Formula for the Change:
For a monoatomic gas, the molar heat capacity at constant volume $ C_v $ is $\frac{3R}{2}$. Thus, we equate the kinetic energy to the change in internal energy:
$ \frac{1}{2} m v^2 = \frac{3}{2} n R \Delta T $
Solving for $\Delta T$:
Rearrange the equation to solve for the change in temperature:
$ \Delta T = \frac{m v^2}{3 n R} $
Substituting Given Values:
Here, mass $ m = 4 $ u, velocity $ v = 30 $ m/s, and the number of moles $ n = 1 $. Substitute these into the equation:
$ \Delta T = \frac{4 \times (30)^2}{3 \times 1 \times R} $
Simplifying:
$ \Delta T = \frac{3600}{R} $
Relating to Given Expression:
According to the problem, $\Delta T = \frac{x}{3R}$. Therefore, equating:
$ \frac{x}{3R} = \frac{3600}{R} $
Solve for $x$:
Simplifying gives:
$ x = 3600 $
Thus, the value of $x$ is 3600.
Explanation:
In this thermodynamical process, the pressure $ P $ of a gas is related to its volume $ V $ by the equation $ P = kV^3 $. Thus, we have:
$ PV^{-3} = k $
This implies that the value of $ x $ is $-3$ in the relationship. To find the work done ($ W $) when the temperature changes from 100°C to 300°C, we can use the formula:
$ W = \frac{nR(T_1 - T_2)}{x - 1} $
Substitute the given temperatures and the value of $ x $:
$ W = \frac{nR(100 - 300)}{-3 - 1} $
Calculate the expression:
$ W = \frac{nR(-200)}{-4} $
Which simplifies to:
$ W = 50 \, nR $
Explanation:
As we know that,
Root mean square speed, ${v_{rms}} = \sqrt {{{3RT} \over m}} $
$\therefore$ ${{{v_1}} \over {{v_2}}} = \sqrt {{{{T_1}} \over {{T_2}}}} = \sqrt {{{300} \over {400}}} = \sqrt {{3 \over 4}} $
$ \Rightarrow {v_2} = \sqrt {{4 \over 3}} {v_1} = {2 \over {\sqrt 3 }} \times 200 = {{400} \over {\sqrt 3 }}$ ms$-$1
$ \Rightarrow {x \over {\sqrt 3 }} = {{400} \over {\sqrt 3 }} \Rightarrow x = 400$

The value of X is _______________.
Explanation:
${{Mass} \over {total\,volume}}$ = 1 gm/cc
$ \Rightarrow {{5gm} \over {total\,volume}}$ = 1 gm/cc
$\Rightarrow$ Total volume = 5 cc
$\Rightarrow$ Volume of tube + final volume of air in the tube = 5 cc
$ \Rightarrow {{5gm} \over {2.5gm/cc}} + {V_f} = 5$
$\Rightarrow$ Vf = 5 $-$ 2 = 3 cc
$\Rightarrow$ $\Delta$V = 0.3 cc

The value of Y is _______________.
Explanation:
${{Mass} \over {total\,volume}}$ = 1 gm/cc
$ \Rightarrow {{5gm} \over {total\,volume}}$ = 1 gm/cc
$\Rightarrow$ Total volume = 5 cc
$\Rightarrow$ Volume of tube + final volume of air in the tube = 5 cc
$ \Rightarrow {{5gm} \over {2.5gm/cc}} + {V_f} = 5$
$\Rightarrow$ Vf = 5 $-$ 2 = 3 cc
$\Rightarrow$ $\Delta$V = 0.3 cc
For isothermal process,
${p_i}{V_i} = {p_f}{V_f} \Rightarrow {p_f} = {10^5} \times {{3.3} \over 3}$
pf = 1.1 $\times$ 105
pf $-$ pi = 1.1 $\times$ 105 $-$ 105
= 0.1 $\times$ 105 = 10 $\times$ 103 Pa $\Rightarrow$ Y = 10
Explanation:
Ti = 200 K, e = 1
$ - Ms{{dT} \over {dt}} = {{dQ} \over {dt}} = \sigma eA{T^4}$
$ - {{dT} \over {dt}} = {{\sigma A{T^4}} \over {Ms}}$
${{\sigma A} \over {Ms}}\int\limits_{{t_i}}^{{t_f}} {dt = - \int\limits_{{T_i}}^{{T_f}} {{{dT} \over {{T^4}}}} } $
${{\sigma A} \over {Ms}}({t_f} - {t_i}) = {1 \over 3}\left( {{1 \over {T_f^3}} - {1 \over {T_i^3}}} \right)$
${{{{\sigma A} \over {Ms}}({t_1} - 0) = {1 \over 3}\left( {{1 \over {{{(100)}^3}}} - {1 \over {{{(200)}^3}}}} \right)} \over {{{\sigma A} \over {Ms}}({t_2} - 0) = {1 \over 3}\left( {{1 \over {{{(50)}^3}}} - {1 \over {{{(200)}^3}}}} \right)}}$
${{{t_1}} \over {{t_2}}} = {{{{{{(200)}^3} - {{(100)}^3}} \over {{{(100)}^3}{{(200)}^3}}}} \over {{{{{(200)}^3} - {{(50)}^3}} \over {{{(50)}^3}{{(200)}^3}}}}}$
$\therefore$ ${{{t_2}} \over {{t_1}}} = {9 \over 1}$
