Newton postulated his corpuscular theory on the basis of
✓
Answer
(c)Newton first law of motion states that every particle travels in a straight line with a constant velocity unless disturbed by an external force. So the corpuscles travels in straight lines.

→One mole of an ideal gas undergoes two different cyclic processes I and II, as shown in the $P-V$ diagrams below. In cycle I, processes $a, b, c$ and $d$ are isobaric, isothermal, isobaric and isochoric, respectively. In cycle II, processes $a^{\prime}, b^{\prime}, c^{\prime}$ and $d^{\prime}$ are isothermal, isochoric, isobaric and isochoric, respectively. The total work done during cycle I is $W_I$ and that during cycle II is $W_{I I}$. The ratio $W_I / W_{I I}$ is . . . .

A $1\,kg$ mass is attached to a spring of force constant $600\,N / m$ and rests on a smooth horizontal surface with other end of the spring tied to wall as shown in figure. A second mass of $0.5\,kg$ slides along the surface towards the first at $3\,m / s$. If the masses make a perfectly inelastic collision, then find amplitude and time period of oscillation of combined mass.
