$A$ rocket is propelled by a gas which is initially at a temperature of $4000\, K$. The temperature of the gas falls to $1000\, K$ as it leaves the exhaust nozzle. The gas which will acquire the largest momentum while leaving the nozzle is:

  • A
    Hydrogen
  • B
    Helium
  • C
    Nitrogen
  • D

If the heat required to increase the rms speed of $4$ moles of a diatomic gas from $v$ to $\sqrt{3} v$ is $83.1 \ kJ$, then the initial temperature of the gas is (Universal gas constant $R = 8.31 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$) (in $^{\circ} C$)

Two boxes containing different ideal gases are placed on a table. Box $A$ contains $1 \text{ mole}$ of nitrogen gas at temperature $T_o$,and box $B$ contains $1 \text{ mole}$ of helium gas at temperature $(7/3) T_o$. If they are brought into thermal contact such that both gases reach a final common temperature $T_f$,what is the final temperature $T_f$ in terms of $T_o$? (Neglect the heat capacity of the boxes.)

One kg of a diatomic gas is at a pressure of $8 \times 10^4 \; N/m^2$. The density of the gas is $4 \; kg/m^3$. What is the energy (in $\times 10^4 \; J$) of the gas due to its thermal motion?

$A$ diatomic gas of molecular mass $40 \, g/mol$ is filled in a rigid container at temperature $30^{\circ} C$. It is moving with velocity $200 \, m/s$. If it is suddenly stopped,the rise in the temperature of the gas is .........

$2 \text{ moles}$ of a monatomic gas requires heat energy $Q$ to be heated from $30^{\circ} C$ to $40^{\circ} C$ at constant volume. The heat energy required to raise the temperature of $4 \text{ moles}$ of a diatomic gas from $28^{\circ} C$ to $33^{\circ} C$ at constant volume is
