JEE Main & Advanced Physics Thermometry, Calorimetry & Thermal Expansion Question Bank Topic Test - Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry (3-5-21)

  • question_answer
    A block of mass 100 gm slides on a rough horizontal surface. If the speed of the block decreases from 10 m/s to 5 m/s, the thermal energy developed in the process is

    A) 3.75 J

    B) 37.5 J

    C) 0.375 J

    D) 0.75 J

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                  
    According to energy conservation, change in kinetic energy appears in the form of heat (thermal energy).
    \[\Rightarrow \] i.e. Thermal energy \[=\frac{1}{2}m(v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2})\]       \[\left[ \because \,\underset{\text{(Joule)}}{\mathop{W}}\,=\underset{\text{(Joule)}}{\mathop{Q}}\, \right]\]
    \[=\frac{1}{2}(100\times {{10}^{-3}})({{10}^{2}}-{{5}^{2}})=3.75\,J\]
