Calculate the degrees of freedom for monoatomic, diatomic and triatomic gas?

what do you mean by mean free path and write the formula?

The speed of sound in oxygen (O₂) at a certain temperature is 460 ms⁻¹. The speed of sound in helium (He) at the same temperature will be (assumed both gases to be ideal)

• 1420 ms⁻¹

• 550 ms⁻¹

• 375 ms⁻¹

• 650  ms⁻¹

A charged particle moves through a magnetic field perpendicular to its direction. Then

• the momentum changes but the kinetic energy is constant

• both momentum and kinetic energy of the particle are not constant

• both, momentum and kinetic energy of the particle are constant

• kinetic energy changes but the momentum is constant

A gaseous mixture consists of 16 g of helium and 16 g of oxygen. The ratio c_p/c_v of the mixture is

• 1.59

• 1.62

• 1.4

• 1.54

One mole of ideal monoatomic gas (γ = 5/30) is mixed with one mole of diatomic gas(γ = 7/5). What is γ for the mixture? γ denotes the ratio of specific heat at constant pressure, to that at constant volume.

• 3/2

• 23/15

• 35/23

• 4/3

The mass of a hydrogen molecule is 3.32 x 10^-27 kg. If 10²³ hydrogen molecules strike, per second, a fixed wall of area 2cm² at an angle of 45° to the normal, and rebound elastically with a speed of 10³ m/s, then the pressure on the wall is nearly:

• 4.70 x 10² N/m²

• 2.35 x 10³ N /m²

• 4.70 x 10³ N/m²

• 2.35 x 10² N /m²

A particle is moving in a circular path of radius a under the action of an attractive potential U = -k/2r². its total energy is:

• $-\frac{3}{2}\frac{k}{a^2}$

• $\frac{-k}{4a^2}$

• $\frac{k}{2a^2}$

• zero

The kinetic energies of a planet in an elliptical orbit about the Sun, at positions A, B and C are K_A, K_B and K_C, respectively. AC is the major axis and SB is perpendicular to AC at the position of the Sun S as shown in the figure. Then

• K_A < K_B < K_C

• K_A > K_B > K_C

• K_B > K_A > K_C

• K_B < K_A < K_C
