Shortcut Methods
Typical Numericals on Equipartition of Energy Shortcut Methods and Tricks
JEE Main
-
Numerical on Translational Kinetic Energy of Gas Molecules:
- Shortcut: The average translational kinetic energy of molecules is directly proportional to the temperature and independent of the molar mass of the gas. (Assuming ideal gas behavior)
-
Numerical on Motion on a Horizontal Surface with Friction:
- Trick: Use the work-energy theorem to relate the initial kinetic energy of the object to the work done by friction.
-
Numerical on Potential Energy in a Spring:
- Shortcut: The potential energy stored in a spring is equal to the work done in stretching the spring, which can be calculated using the formula:
CBSE Board Exams Similar shortcut methods and tricks can be applied for CBSE board exam numericals on equipartition of energy.
