VSAQ

1)
Ans: Due to difference in conductivity, metals having high conductivity compared to wood. On touch
with a finger,heat from the surrounding flows faster to the finger from metals and so one
feels the heat.similarly, when one touches a cold metal the heat from the finger flows away to
the surroundings faster
2)
Ans: If the system does work against the surroundings so that it compensates for the heat supplied, the
temperature can remain constant
3)

Ans: Yes. When the gas undergoes adiabatic compression, its temperature increases.
dQ = dU + dW As dQ = 0 (adiabatic process)
so dU = -dW
In compression, work is done on the system So, dW = -ve, hence dU = + ve
So internal energy of the gas increases, i.e. its temperature increases.
4)
Ans: During driving temperature of the gas increases while its volume remains constant.
So according to Charles law, at constant V, P T.Therefore, pressure of gas increases.
5) The Youngs modulus for steel is much more than that for rubber.For the same longitudinal strain,
