MCQ
In Vander Waal’s equation $a$ and $b$ represent $\left( {P + \frac{a}{{{V^2}}}} \right)\,(V - b) = RT$
  • A
    Both $a$ and $b$ represent correction in volume
  • B
    Both $a$ and $b$ represent adhesive force between molecules
  • $a$ represents adhesive force between molecules and $b$ correction in volume
  • D
    $a$ represents correction in volume and $b$ represents adhesive force between molecules

Answer

Correct option: C.
$a$ represents adhesive force between molecules and $b$ correction in volume
c
$\left(P+\frac{a n^{2}}{V^{2}}\right)(v-n b)=n R T$

The constants $a$ and $b$ represents the magnitude of intermolecular attraction and excluded volume respectively, and are specific to a particular gas.

Correct choice - option - $C$

A slide with a frictionless curved surface, which becomes horizontal at its lower end,, is fixed on the terrace of a building of height $3 h$ from the ground, as shown in the figure. A spherical ball of mass $\mathrm{m}$ is released on the slide from rest at a height $h$ from the top of the terrace. The ball leaves the slide with a velocity $\vec{u}_0=u_0 \hat{x}$ and falls on the ground at a distance $d$ from the building making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. It bounces off with a velocity $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}$ and reaches a maximum height $h_l$.
