A particle of mass m carrying charge q is kept at rest in a uniform electric field E and then released. The kinetic energy gained by the particle, when it moves through a distance y is
qEy
qEy2
qE2y
A small spherical ball falling through a viscous medium of negligible density has terminal velocity v. Another ball of the same mass but of radius twice that of the earlier falling through the same viscous medium will have terminal velocity
v
v/4
v/2
2v
The excess pressure inside a spherical drop of water is four times that of another drop. Then their respective mass ratio is
1 : 16
8 : 1
1 : 4
1 : 64
In a capillary rise experiment, the water level rises to a height of 5 cm. If the same capillary tube is placed in water such that only 3 cm of the tube projects outside the water level, then
water will begin to overflow through the capillary
angle of contact decreases
angle of contact increases
the meniscus completely vanishes
The Young's modulus of the material of a wire is 2 × 1010 Nm-2. If the elongation strain is 1 %, then the energy stored in the wire per unit volume in Jm-3 is
106
108
2 × 106
2 × 108
The change in internal energy of a given mass of gas, when its volume changes from V to 2V at constant pressure p is
In a Carnot engine, the temperature of reservoir is 927°C and that of sink is 27°C. If the work done by the engine when it transfers heat from reservoir to sink is 12.6 x 106 J, the quantity of heat absorbed by the engine from the reservoir is
16.8 × 106 J
4 × 106 J
7.6 × 106 J
4.25 × 106 J
In the given p-V diagram, I is the initial state and F is the final state.
The gas goes from I to F by
(i) IAF (ii) IBF (iii) ICF
The heat absorbed by gas is
the same in all three processes
the same in (i) and (ii)
greater in (i) than in (ii)
the same in (i) and (iii)
C.
greater in (i) than in (ii)
Initial and final states are same in all the processes
hence, ΔU = 0 in each case
By flot ΔQ = ΔW = Area enclosed by curve with volume axis
(Area)1 > (Area)2 < (Area)3
= Q1 > Q2 > Q3
