Which of the following is not a form of energy?

  1. Kinetic energy

  2. Potential energy

  3. Heat energy

  4. Mass energy

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Mass energy is not a form of energy, but rather a property of matter. It is the energy that is released when matter is converted into energy, or vice versa.

What is the law of conservation of energy?

  1. Energy can be created or destroyed.

  2. Energy can be transferred from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.

  3. Energy can be transferred from one object to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.

  4. Energy can be created or destroyed, but it cannot be transferred from one form to another.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can be transferred from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. This means that the total amount of energy in the universe is constant.

What is the second law of thermodynamics?

  1. The entropy of an isolated system always increases.

  2. The entropy of an isolated system always decreases.

  3. The entropy of an isolated system remains constant.

  4. The entropy of an isolated system can increase or decrease.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system always increases. This means that the system becomes more disordered over time.

What is the difference between heat and work?

  1. Heat is the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a temperature difference, while work is the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a force.

  2. Heat is the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a temperature difference, while work is the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a force or a change in volume.

  3. Heat is the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a temperature difference, while work is the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a force or a change in pressure.

  4. Heat is the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a temperature difference, while work is the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a force or a change in temperature.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Heat is the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a temperature difference, while work is the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a force or a change in volume.

What is the efficiency of a heat engine?

  1. The ratio of the work output to the heat input.

  2. The ratio of the heat output to the work input.

  3. The ratio of the work input to the heat output.

  4. The ratio of the heat input to the work output.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The efficiency of a heat engine is the ratio of the work output to the heat input. It is a measure of how well the engine converts heat into work.

What is the Carnot efficiency?

  1. The maximum possible efficiency of a heat engine operating between two reservoirs at different temperatures.

  2. The minimum possible efficiency of a heat engine operating between two reservoirs at different temperatures.

  3. The average efficiency of a heat engine operating between two reservoirs at different temperatures.

  4. The efficiency of a heat engine operating between two reservoirs at the same temperature.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Carnot efficiency is the maximum possible efficiency of a heat engine operating between two reservoirs at different temperatures. It is given by the formula: $$e_{Carnot} = 1 - rac{T_C}{T_H}$$ where $$T_C$$ is the temperature of the cold reservoir and $$T_H$$ is the temperature of the hot reservoir.

What is the difference between a reversible and an irreversible process?

  1. A reversible process can be reversed without any change in the system or its surroundings, while an irreversible process cannot be reversed without a change in the system or its surroundings.

  2. A reversible process can be reversed without any change in the system, while an irreversible process cannot be reversed without a change in the system.

  3. A reversible process can be reversed without any change in the surroundings, while an irreversible process cannot be reversed without a change in the surroundings.

  4. A reversible process can be reversed without any change in the system or its surroundings, while an irreversible process cannot be reversed without a change in the system or its surroundings.

Show answer
Correct Option: A,D
Explanation:

A reversible process can be reversed without any change in the system or its surroundings, while an irreversible process cannot be reversed without a change in the system or its surroundings.

What is the Clausius statement of the second law of thermodynamics?

  1. Heat cannot flow spontaneously from a colder to a hotter body.

  2. Heat can flow spontaneously from a hotter to a colder body.

  3. Heat can flow spontaneously from a colder to a hotter body, but only if work is done.

  4. Heat can flow spontaneously from a hotter to a colder body, but only if work is done.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Clausius statement of the second law of thermodynamics states that heat cannot flow spontaneously from a colder to a hotter body.

What is the Kelvin statement of the second law of thermodynamics?

  1. It is impossible to construct a heat engine that operates in a cycle and produces no work while absorbing heat from a single reservoir.

The Kelvin statement of the second law of thermodynamics states that it is impossible to construct a heat engine that operates in a cycle and produces no work while absorbing heat from a single reservoir.

What is the third law of thermodynamics?

  1. The entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero is zero.

  2. The entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero is not zero.

  3. The entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero is undefined.

  4. The entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero is infinite.

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The third law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero is zero.

What is the difference between an extensive property and an intensive property?

  1. An extensive property depends on the amount of matter in a system, while an intensive property does not.

  2. An extensive property does not depend on the amount of matter in a system, while an intensive property does.

  3. An extensive property depends on the temperature of a system, while an intensive property does not.

  4. An extensive property does not depend on the temperature of a system, while an intensive property does.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
