What quantity is carried by sound waves from their source to the point where they eventually get absorbed?


A mass of ideal gas of volume 400 cm3 at a temperature of 27 ˚C expands adiabatically until its volume is 500 cm3. Calculate the new temperature. The gas is then compressed isothermally until its pressure returns to the original value. Calculate the final volume of the gas. Assume γ = 1.40.
A water vapour thermometer is calibrated at the ice and steam points and the saturation
vapour pressures (s.v.p) are measured. The saturation vapour pressure Pθ is given by
Pθ =P0(1+αθ+βθ^2) , where P0 is the s.v.p at the ice point, θ is the temperature in ˚C on
the Celsius scale, α and β are constants and α = 40 β ˚C. Determine the temperature of a
medium on the water vapour scale if its temperature on the Celsius scale is 50 ˚C.

The density of a gas of relative molecular mass 28 at a certain temperature is 0.90 kgm-3.

The root mean square speed of the gas molecules at that temperature is 602 ms-1. Assuming that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density, calculate the density of the gas standard temperature and pressure if its root mean square speed at is 490 ms-1.


Under what condition (if any) does a moving body experience no energy even though there

is a net force acting on it?
Give the thermometric properties of the following:

a. Mercury -in-glass thermometer

b. Resistance thermometer

c. Constant volume gas thermometer

d. Pyrometer
why an ice cube at 0 ˚C is more effective in cooling a drink than

the same mass of water also at 0 ˚C
A 90 ˚C liquid of mass 1 kg and specific heat capacity 4.5 x 103

J/kg K is poured into a

brass calorimeter of mass 150 g containing an unknown liquid of mass 20 g at a temperature

of 25 ˚C. If the final temperature of the mixture is 70 ˚C, determine the specific heat

capacity of the unknown liquid. The s.h.c of brass is 380 J/kg K.
The density of a gas of relative molecular mass 28 at a certain temperature is 0.90 kgm-3

.

The root mean square speed of the gas molecules at that temperature is 602 ms-1

. Assuming that the rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of it's density calculate the density of the gas standard temperature and pressure of it's root mean square speed is 490m/s.
A can of drinking chocolate contains a chemical heating pack that releases 3.5 x 104

J of

energy into drink when activated. Calculate the final temperature of the drink assuming no

energy is lost to the can or surroundings. [Mass of drink = 0.21 kg, specific heat capacity

of drink = 4200 J kg-1 K
