Solids expand on heating because ................
Kinetic energy of atom increases
Potential energy of atom increases
Total energy of atom increases
The potential energy curve is asymmetric about the equilibrium distance between neighbouring atoms
A clock which keeps correct time at $20\,^oC$ has a pendulum rod made of brass. How many seconds will it gain or lose per day when temperature falls to $0\,^oC$ ? $(\alpha = 18\times10^{-6}/^oC)$
Two substances $A$ and $B$ of equal mass $m$ are heated at uniform rate of $6\,cal\,s^{-1}$ under similar conditions. A graph between temperature and time is shown in figure. Ratio of heat absorbed $H_A/H_B$ by them for complete fusion is
The value of coefficient of volume expansion of glycerin is $5 \times 10^{-4}\, K^{-1}$. The fractional change in the density of glycerin for a rise of $40\,^oC$ in its temperature, is
$540\, g$ of ice at $0\,^oC$ is mixed with $540\, g$ water at $80\,^oC$ . The final temperature of the mixture is
If the earth suddenly stops revolving and all its rotational $KE$ is used up in raising its temperature and if $'s'$ is taken to be the specific heat of the earth's material, the rise of temperature of the earth will be : ( $R -$ radius of the earth and $\omega =$ its angular velocity, $J =\,Joule$ constant)
