A ‘thermal tap’ used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which fits tightly inside an aluminium tube whose internal diameter is 8mm at
0
0C. When the temperature is raised, the fit is no longer exact. Calculate
what change in temperature is necessary to produce a channel whose
cross-section is equal to that of a tube of 1mm internal diameter. (linear
expansivity of silica = 8X10-6
/K and linear expansivity of aluminium =
26X10-6
/K )

Calculate the mass of an object that has a momentum of 100kg x m/sec and velocity of 4 m/sec

In a system, when potential energy decreases, then entropy also decreases. true false

Which best describes the first law of thermodynamics as compared to the second law of thermodynamics? a. the first law describes how thermal energy is conserved but not the direction it moves. b. the first law describes the direction thermal energy moves but not how it is conserved. c. the first law describes how thermal energy can be created but not how it can be destroyed. d. the first law describes how thermal energy can be destroyed but not how it can be created.
