Assertion (A): State variables are required to specify the equilibrium state of the system.
Reason (R): Pressure is an intensive state variable.
Assertion: If two bodies are in thermal equilibrium in one frame, they will be in thermal equilibrium in all frames.
Reason: The transfer of energy from a hot body to a cold body is a non mechanical process, i.e., the energy is transferred from one body to the other, without any mechanical work.
Assertion (A): Efficiency of a Carnot engine increases on reducing the temperature of sink.
Reason (R): The efficiency of a Carnot engine is defined as ratio of net mechanical work done per cycle by the gas to the amount of heat energy absorbed per cycle from the source.
Assertion (A): Two springs of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ are stretched by the same force. If $k_1>k_2$, then work done in stretching the first $\left( W _1\right)$ is less than work done in stretching the second $\left( W _2\right)$.
Reason ( R ): $F = k _1 x _1= k _2 x _2$
Assertion: When a glass of hot milk is placed in a room and allowed to cool, its entropy decreases.
Reason: Allowing hot object to cool does not violate the second law of thermodynamics.
Assertion (A): A planet moves faster, when it is closer to the sun in its orbit and vice versa.
Reason (R): Orbital velocity in orbital of planet is constant.
Assertion: An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit of the earth. If the gravitational pull suddenly disappears, then it moves with the same speed tangential to the original orbit.
Reason: The orbital speed of a satellite decreases with the increase in radius of the orbit.
Assertion (A): There is no effect of rotation of the earth on acceleration due to gravity at poles.
Reason (R): The rotation of the earth is about the polar axis.
Assertion: It is not possible for a system, unaided by an external agency to transfer heat from a body at lower temperature to another body at a higher temperature.
Reason: According to Clausius statement “No process is possible whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a cooled object to a hotter object.”
