Explanation

Thermostat is used in electric apporatas like refrigerator iron etc for automatic cut off Therefore for metallic strips to bend on heating their coefficient of linear expansion should be different.

2 kg of Ice at $ -20 ^\circ C $ is mixed with 5 kg of water at $ 20 ^\circ C $ in an insulating vessel having a megligible heat capacity calculate the final mass of water remaining in the container. It is given that the specific heats of water and ice care $ 1 keal/kg per ^\circ C $ and $ 0.5 Keal/kg 1 ^\circ C$ while the latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 kcoil/kg.

Explanation

Initially ice will absorb heat to rise its temprature to $0 ^\circ C $ then its melting takes place. If mi = Initial mass of ice mi-1 = Mass of ice that melts and mw = Initial mass of water By low of mixture Heat gained by ice = Heat lost by water $ \Rightarrow mi \times c \times (20) + mi + L = mwC_w (20) $ $ \Rightarrow 2 \times 0.5 (20) + mi \times 80 = 5 \times 1 \times 20 \Rightarrow mi^{-7} = 1 kg $ So final mass water Initial mass of water + mass of ice that melts = 5 + 1 = 6 kg

A lead bullet at $ 27 ^\circ C$ just melts when stopped by an obstancle Assuming that 25% of heat is obsorbed by the obstacle then the velocity of the bullet at the time of striking.

Explanation

If mass of the bullet is mgm then total heat required for bullet to just melt down. $ \theta_1 = mc \triangle \theta + mL $ Now when bullet is stopped bythe obstacle the loss in its mechanical energy = $ {1 \over 2 } cm \times 10 ^ {-3} v^2 9 $ $ (As mg = m \times 10 ^ {-3} kg ) $ As 25% of this energy is absorbed by the $ \theta_2 = { 75 \over 100 } \times {1 \over 2} mv^2 \times 10^{-3} = {3 \over 8} mv^2 \times 10 ^ {-3} J $ Now the bullet melt if $ \theta_2 \geq \theta_1 $

Assertion & Reason Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the option given below. Assertion : The melting point of the ice decreases with increases pressure Reason : Ice contracts on melting

Explanation

With rise in pressure melting point of ice decreases also ice contracts on melting.

Explanation

Celsius scale was the first temperature scale and fahrenheit is the smallest unit measuring temperature

Assertion & Reason Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the option given below. Assertion : Specific heat capacity is the cause of formation of land and sea breeze. Reason : The specific heat of water is more then land.

Explanation

If bath assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Assertion & Reason Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the option given below. Assertion : The molecules of $0 ^\circ C$ ice and $0 ^\circ C$ water will have same potential energy. Reason : Potential energy depends only on temperature of the system.

Explanation

The potential energy of water molecules is more. The heat given to melt the ice at $ 0 ^\circ C$ used up in increasing the potentical energy of water molecules formed at $ 0 ^\circ C $

Assertion & Reason Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the option given below. Assertion : A beaker is completely filled with water at $4 ^\circ C$ . It will overflow both where heated or cooled. Reason : There is expansion of water below and above $ 4 ^\circ C$ .

Explanation

Water has maximum density at $ 4 ^\circ C$ on heating above $ 4 ^\circ C $ or cooling below $ 40 ^\circ C $ density of water decreases and its volume increases. Therefore water overflows in both the cases.

Temperature of a body varies with time as T=T0+at2+b sintK, where T0 is the temperature in Kelvin at t=0 sec & a=2/π K/s2 & b=-4K, then the rate of change of temperature dTdt at t=π sec is-

T= T0+at2+b sin tKdTdt= 2at+b cos tAt  t= π sec      dTdt=22ππ + -4cosπ    = 8 K/sec

An isolated container at 127°C contains an ice cube of mass 100 g at 0°C. The specific heat C of container varies with temperature according to relation C= a+bT, where a= 0.1 kcal/kg-K and b= 40 m cal/kg K. Find the mass of container, if the final temperature of container is 300 K.
[Take LF= 80 cal/g and specific heat of water 1 cal/g K]

Explanation

Given specific heat of container,  C= a+bT

The initial temperature of container Ti= 127 + 273 = 400 K

and final temperature of container Tf= 300 K

...  Heat lost by container= -TiTfmC(a+bT)dT     (where mCmass of container)

Heat lost= -400300mC(a+bT)dT

-mCaT+bT22400300

= -mC(a300-a400)+b2((300)2-(400)2)              = mC100a+35000b              = mC100×0.1×103+35000×40×10-3              = mC10000+1400 =mC11400                  

Heat gained by ice = miceLF+miceCwaterT

=(0.1×80×103)+(0.1×103×27) =8000+2700

= 10700 cal

From principle of calorimetry

Heat lost by container= Heat gained by ice

... 11400mC=10700mC=107114=0.939 kg =939 g
