Question
Can two isothermal curves intersect? Why?

Answer

No, since then for two different sets of physical parameters the system may be identified, leading to different states.

A physical quantity $\text{X}=\frac{\text{a}^2\text{b}^{\frac{-3}{2}}}{\text{c}^4}$ A student says that the relative error in $2\frac{\Delta\text{a}}{\text{a}}-\frac{3}{2}\frac{\Delta\text{b}}{\text{b}}-4\frac{\Delta\text{c}}{\text{c}}.$ Do you agree with the student? If not, what is the relative error in X?
Reaction time : When a situation demands our immediate action, it takes some time before we really respond. Reaction time is the time a person takes to observe, think and act. For example, if a person is driving and suddenly a boy appears on the road, then the time elapsed before he slams the brakes of the car is the reaction time. Reaction time depends on complexity of the situation and on an individual.
You can measure your reaction time by a simple experiment. Take a ruler and ask your friend to drop it vertically through the gap between your thumb and forefinger (Fig. 2.8). After you catch it, find the distance $d$ travelled by the ruler. In a particular case, $d$ was found to be $21.0 cm$. Estimate reaction time.
