This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Height of stairs h= 10m

Energy produced by burning 1 kg of fat = 7000Kcal

Energy produced by burning 5kg of fat = 5 × 7000 = 35000 K c a l

Energy utilised in going up and down one time

= mgh + 1 2 m g h = 3 2 m g h

= 3 2 × 60 × 10 × 10

= 9000J= 9000/4.2=3000/1.4cal

Number of times, the person

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Temperature of the source T1= 500K and sink T2= 300K

Work done W= 1000J

Efficiency of Carnot engine = 1-T2/T1= 1-300/500= 200/500= 2/5

Efficiency = W/Q1

So Q1= W/efficiency = 1000 5 2 = 2500 J

During driving temperature of the gas increases while volume remains constant. So according charle's law, at constant volume V.

Pressure is directly proportional to temperature. Therefore pressure of gas increases.

Yes during adiabatic compression the temperature of a gas increases while no heat is

In adiabatic compression dQ=0

From the first law of thermodynamics dU= dQ-dW

dU=-dW

in compression work is done on the gas i.e work done is negative

dU=

For path1

Heat Q1= 1000J

Work done =W1

For path 2

Work done W2= W1-100

As change in internal energy is same

dU=Q1-W1=Q2-W2

1000-W1=Q2-W1+100

Q2= 1000-100= 900J

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Slope of the curve = f(V) , where V is the volume

Slope of P = f(V) curve at ((Po, V0 )= f(Vo)

Slope of adiabatic at (Po, V0 )= k(-Y)Vo-1-Y =-YPo/Vo

Now heat absorbed in the process P= f(V)

dQ=dU+dW= nCvdT+pdV

pV=nRT

T= pV/nR

T= 1 n R f V + V f ' V d V

d Q d V = nCv d T d V + p d V d V = n C V d T d V + P

C V R [ f ( V o + V 0 f ' V + f ( V ) ]

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

(a) For process AB

Volume is constant , hence work done dW=0

dQ=dU+dW=dU+0=dU

 = nCvdT= nCv(TB-TA)

 = 3 2 R T B - T A

= 3 2 R T B - R T A = 3 2 P B V B - P A V A

Heat exchanged = 3 2 P B V B - P A V A

(b) For process BC , p =constant

dQ= dU+dW  = 3 2 R T C - T B + P B ( V C - V B )

heat exchanged = 5 2 P B ( V C - V A )

(c) For process CD , because C
