Show Hint
- 572J
- 735J
525J
441J
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
For a diatomic gas, the increase in internal energy is given by: \[ \Delta U = n C_V \Delta T \] where \( C_V \) is the molar heat capacity at constant volume and \( n \) is the number of moles.
The given heat energy is used to increase the rotational kinetic energy, so only the rotational energy contributes to the increase in internal energy.
For a diatomic gas, the rotational contribution is \( \frac{3}{2} \) of the total energy, so: \[ \Delta U = \frac{3}{2} \times 735 = 525 \, \text{J} \]

- The equation for the RMS velocity is given as \[ v_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M_0}} \] where \( R \) is the gas constant, \( T \) is the temperature, and \( M_0 \) is the molecular mass. If the temperature is increased, find the new RMS velocity \( v_{\text{rms}} \) when the temperature is doubled.}

Consider a rope fixed at both ends under tension so that it is horizontal (i.e. assume the rope is along x-axis, with gravity acting along z-axis). Now the right end is continually oscillated at high frequency n (say n=100 Hz) horizontally and in a direction along the rope; amplitude of oscillation is negligible. The oscillation travells along the rope and is reflected at the left end.
Let the total length of rope be l, total mass be m and the acceleration due to gravity be g.
After initial phase (say a mintue or so), the rope has __(BLANK-1)__ wave, which is __(BLANK-2)__ in nature. It results from superposition of left travelling and right travelling __(BLANK-3)__ waves. This resulting wave has a frequency __ (BLANK-4)_ that of oscillation frequency nu. Simple dimensional analysis indicates that the frequency of can be of the form: ___(BLANK-5)__ .- IIITH UGEE - 2024

Concepts Used:
Pressure
Pressure is defined as the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.
Everyday examples of pressure are:
- The working of the vacuum cleaner is an example of pressure. The fan inside the vacuum creates a low-pressure region which makes it easy to suck the dust particles inside the vacuum.
- Using a knife for cutting is another example of pressure. The area exposed from the knife is small but the pressure is high enough to cut the vegetables and fruits.
Formula:
When a force of ‘F’ Newton is applied perpendicularly to a surface area ‘A’, then the pressure exerted on the surface by the force is equal to the ratio of F to A. The formula for pressure (P) is:
P = F / A
Units of Pressure:
The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa)
A pascal can be defined as a force of one newton applied over a surface area of a one-meter square.
