JEE Main & Advanced Physics Kinetic Theory of Gases Question Bank Topic Test - Kinetic Theory of Gases

  • question_answer
    A thermally insulated vessel contains an ideal gas of molecular mass M and ratio of specific heats \[\gamma \]. It is moving with speed v and is suddenly brought to rest. Assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings, its temperature increases by

    A) \[\frac{(\gamma -1)}{2(\gamma +1)R}M{{v}^{2}}K\]

    B) \[\frac{(\gamma -1)}{2\gamma }M{{v}^{2}}K\]

    C) \[\frac{\gamma M{{v}^{2}}}{2R}K\]

    D)  \[\frac{(\gamma -1)}{2R}M{{v}^{2}}K\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[\frac{1}{2}\,M{{v}^{2}}=1\cdot {{C}_{V}}\Delta T\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}=\frac{R}{\gamma -1}.\Delta T\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\Delta T=\frac{M{{v}^{2}}(\gamma -1)}{2R}=\frac{(\gamma -1)M{{v}^{2}}}{2R}\]
