1. Two spherical stars A and B have densities 𝜌𝐴 and 𝜌𝐵 , respectively. A and B have the same radius,
and their masses MA and MB are related by MB = 2MA. Due to an interaction process, star A loses
some of its mass, so that its radius is halved, while its spherical shape is retained, and its density
remains 𝜌𝐴 . The entire mass lost by A is deposited as a thick spherical shell on B with the density
of the shell being 𝜌𝐴 . If vA and vB are the escape velocities from A and B after the interaction
𝑣 10𝑛
process, the ratio 𝑣𝐵 = √151⁄3 . The value of n is _________.

(either exactly or as a close approximation) of possible changes in the internal energy of the
system due to the process.

same temperature, at a pressure of 10 𝑃𝑎. The volume of

the system changes from 10–6 𝑚3 to 10–3 𝑚3 in the

process. Latent heat of water = 2250 kJ/kg.

at temperature 500 K undergoes an isobaric expansion to
volume 3 V. Assume 𝑅 = 8.0 𝐽 𝑚𝑜𝑙–1 𝐾–1.
