Question: The pressure in the tyre of a car is four times the atmospheric pressure at 300 K. If this tyre suddenly bursts, its new temperature will be (γ=1.4)

[RPMT 1996; MP PMT 1990]

Options:

A) ΔU=0

B) ΔU= negative

C) ΔU= positive

D) ΔW= zero

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

In case of adiabatic expansion ΔW = positive

and ΔQ=0 from FLOT ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW

Therefore ΔU=ΔW i.e., ΔU will be negative.
