Question
Does the temperature of a body depend on the frame from which it is observed?

Answer

No, the temperature of a body is not dependent on the frame from which it is observed. This is because atoms/ molecules of matter move or vibrate in all possible directions. Increase in velocity at a particular direction of the container/ matter does not increase or decrease the overall velocity of the molecules/ atoms because of the random collisions the entities suffer. So, there is no net rise in temperature of the system.

The motion of a simple pendulum is approximately simple harmonic for small angle oscillations. For larger angles of oscillation, a more involved analysis shows that T is greater than $2\pi\sqrt{\frac{\text{l}}{\text{g}}}.$ Think of a qualitative argument to appreciate this result.

A cricket bowler releases the ball in two different ways.
  1. Giving it only horizontal velocity, and
  2. Giving it horizontal velocity and a small downward velocity. The speed vs at the time of release is the same. Both are released at a height H from the ground. Which one will have greater speed when the ball hits the ground? Neglect air resistance.
Suppose A and B in the previous problem change their positions in such a way that the line joining them becomes perpendicular to the direction of wind while maintaining the separation x. What will be the time lag B finds between seeing and hearing the drum beating by A?
A uniform tube closed at one end, contains a pellet of mercury 10cm long. When the tube is kept vertically with the closed-end upward, the length of the air column trapped is 20cm. Find the length of the air column trapped when the tube is inverted so that the closedend goes down. Atmospheric pressure = 75cm of mercury.

A stone of mass 0.2kg is tied to one end of a string of length 80cm. Holding the other end, the stone is whiled into a vertical circle. What is the minimum speed of the stone at the lowest point so that it just completes the circle. What is the tension in the string at the lowest point of the circular path? (g = 10ms-2)
