A thermally insulated vessel contains an ideal gas of molecular mass M and ratio of specific heats 1.4. Vessel is moving with speed v and is suddenly brought to rest. Assuming no heat is lost to the surrounding and vessel temperature of the gas increases by :
(R = universal gas constant)
A solid metallic cube having total surface area 24 m2 is uniformly heated. If its temperature is increased by 10$$^\circ$$C, calculate the increase in volume of the cube. (Given $$\alpha$$ = 5.0 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$4 $$^\circ$$C$$-$$1).
A copper block of mass 5.0 kg is heated to a temperature of 500$$^\circ$$C and is placed on a large ice block. What is the maximum amount of ice that can melt? [Specific heat of copper : 0.39 J g$$-$$1 $$^\circ$$C$$-$$1 and latent heat of fusion of water : 335 J g$$-$$1]
The ratio of specific heats $$\left( {{{{C_P}} \over {{C_V}}}} \right)$$ in terms of degree of freedom (f) is given by :
