Sample Questions

Q1.A body cools from 80°C to 60°C in 5 minutes in a room at 20°C. Using Newton's law of cooling, the time to cool from 60°C to 40°C is:

  • A5 minutes
  • B7.5 minutes
  • C10 minutes
  • D15 minutes

Q2.A steel rail of length 10 m is laid at 20°C. If α_steel = 1.2×10⁻⁵ /°C, by how much should the gap be kept between rails to allow for expansion up to 50°C?

  • A3.6 mm
  • B3.6 cm
  • C0.36 mm
  • D36 mm

Q3.When a metal rod is heated, its length increases. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion α is defined by:

  • AΔL = αLΔT
  • BΔL = αL/ΔT
  • CΔL = αΔT/L
  • DΔL = L/(αΔT)

Q4.The normal human body temperature is 98.6°F. In Celsius, this is approximately:

  • A36°C
  • B37°C
  • C38°C
  • D40°C

Q5.How much heat is needed to convert 200 g of ice at -10°C to steam at 100°C? (c_ice = 2100 J/kg·K, Lf = 3.36×10⁵ J/kg, c_water = 4200 J/kg·K, Lv = 2.26×10⁶ J/kg)

  • AAbout 500 kJ
  • BAbout 604 kJ
  • CAbout 100 kJ
  • DAbout 450 kJ
