Section-E
34 Case Study : THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES 4
Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
A process in which the temperature of the system is kept fixed throughout is called an isothermal
process. The expansion of a gas in a metallic cylinder placed in a large reservoir of fixed
temperature is an example of an isothermal process. (Heat transferred from the reservoir to the
system does not materially affect the temperature of the reservoir, because of its very large heat
capacity.) In isobaric processes the pressure is constant while in isochoric processes the volume is
constant. Finally, if the system is insulated from the surroundings and no heat flows between the
system and the surroundings, the process is adiabatic.
(i) Name the physical quantities which remain constant in isobaric process.
(ii) What is the isothermal process formula?
(iii) Distinguish between the isothermal process and the adiabatic process.
OR
(iii) What is the mathematical form of the First Law of Thermodynamics in an isochoric process
and adiabatic process?
35 Case Study : Third law of motion 4
Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
the mutual forces between two bodies are always equal and
opposite. This idea was expressed by Newton in the form of the third law of motion. To every
action, there is always an equal and
opposite reaction. Forces always occur in pairs. Force on a body A by B is equal and opposite to
the force on the body B by A. The terms action and reaction in the third law may give a wrong
impression that action comes before reaction i.e action is the cause and reaction the effect.
There is no cause effect relation implied in the third law. The force on A by B and the force on B
by A act at the same instant. By the same reasoning, any one of them may be called action and
the other reaction. Action and reaction forces act on different bodies, not on the same body.
Consider a pair of bodies A and B. According to the third law, FAB = – FBA
(force on A by B) = – (force on B by A) ,Thus if we are considering the motion of any one body (A
or B), only one of the two forces is
relevant. It is an error to add up the two forces and claim that the net force is zero.
(i) When two bodies interact, they exert force on each other, and
these forces are known as ____
(ii) Define net force.
(iii) If a person fires a number of bullets of mass 0.05kg each with a
muzzle velocity of 1200ms−1and experiences a total reaction
force of 300N per second, then how many bullets did the
person fired?

(iii) What should be the amount

of force needed to be applied to
move the notebook which is
having a mass of 300g placed on
a table?
