(N/A) $(i)$ According to Charles's Law,$V \propto T$. As $T$ approaches $0 \ K$ (absolute zero),the volume $V$ approaches $0$.
$(ii)$ According to Gay-Lussac's Law,$P \propto T$ for a fixed volume. Therefore,as temperature increases,the pressure of the gas increases.
$(iii)$ Absolute zero temperature ($0 \ K$ or $-273.15 \ ^\circ C$) is defined as the temperature at which all thermal molecular motion ceases.
$(iv)$ As altitude increases,the atmospheric pressure decreases. The air expands and does work against the surroundings,leading to a decrease in internal energy and temperature,a process known as adiabatic cooling.

This question has Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement-$1$: The internal energy of a perfect gas is entirely kinetic and depends only on the absolute temperature of the gas and not on its pressure or volume.
Statement-$2$: $A$ perfect gas is heated keeping pressure constant and later at constant volume. For the same amount of heat,the temperature rise of the gas at constant pressure is lower than that at constant volume.

$A$ molecule in a gas container hits a horizontal wall with speed $200 \; m s^{-1}$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the normal,and rebounds with the same speed. Is momentum conserved in the collision? Is the collision elastic or inelastic?

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

When the gas is heated,in which direction will the piston move?

The oxygen molecule has a mass of $5.30 \times 10^{-26} \; kg$ and a moment of inertia of $1.94 \times 10^{-46} \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ about an axis through its centre perpendicular to the line joining the two atoms. Suppose the mean speed of such a molecule in a gas is $500 \; m/s$ and that its kinetic energy of rotation is two-thirds of its kinetic energy of translation. Find the average angular velocity of the molecule.
