MCQ

On a clear sunny day, an object at temperature $T$ is placed on the top of a high mountain. An identical object at the same temperature is placed at the foot of mountain. If both the objects are exposed to sun-rays for two hours in an identical manner, the object at the top of the mountain will register a temperature

A
Higher than the object at the foot
✓
Lower than the object at the foot
C
Equal to the object at the foot
D
None of the above

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

Lower than the object at the foot

b
(b) Because of uneven surfaces of mountains, most of it's parts remain under shadow.

So, most of the mountains. Land is not heated up by sun rays.

Besides this, sun rays fall slanting on the mountains and are spread over a larger area.

So, the heat received by the mountains top per unit area is less and they are less heated compared to planes (Foot).

A small particle of mass $m$ moving inside a heavy, hollow and straight tube along the tube axis undergoes elastic collision at two ends. The tube has no friction and it is closed at one end by a flat surface while the other end is fitted with a heavy movable flat piston as shown in figure. When the distance of the piston from closed end is $L = L _0$ the particle speed is $v = v _0$. The piston is moved inward at a very low speed $V$ such that $V \ll \frac{ dL }{ L } v _0$, where $dL$ is the infinitly small displacement of the piston. Which of the following statement($s$) is/are correct?

$(1)$ The rate at which the particle strikes the piston is $v / L$

$(2)$ After each collision with the piston, the particle speed increases by $2 V$

$(3)$ The particle's kinetic energy increases by a factor of $4$ when the piston is moved inward from $L _0$ to $\frac{1}{2} L _0$

$(4)$ If the piston moves inward by $d L$, the particle speed increases by $2 v \frac{d L}{L}$
