Question : 24

A solid cube and a solid sphere of the same material have equal surface area. Both are at the same temperture 120°C , then

a) the sphere cools down faster than the cube

b) both the cube and the sphere cool down at the same rate

c) the cube cools down faster than the sphere

d) whichever is having more mass will cool down faster

Answer: (c)

Rate of cooling of a body R = ${Δϴ}/t = {Aɛσ(T^4 - {T_O}^4)}/{mc}$

⇒ $R ∝ A/m ∝ \text"Area"/\text"Volume"[m = ρ×V]$

⇒ For the same surface area. $R ∝ 1/\text"Volume"$

Since Volume of cube < Volume of a sphere

⇒ $R_{cube} > R_{Sphere}$

i.e., the cube cools down at a faster rate.

Question : 25

At a given temperature the internal energy of a substance

a) in liquid state is more than that in gaseous state

b) in liquid state is equal to that in gaseous state

c) in liquid state is less than that in gaseous state

d) is equal for the three states of matter

Answer: (c)
