MCQ
Distance does not depend on $.............$
  • A
    Initial point
  • B
    Final point
  • C
    Path taken
  • Speed

Answer

Correct option: D.
Speed
The distance depends on the final and initial points as these points define the path.
Distance also depends on the path chosen, the distance between same initial and final point with different paths can be different.
It does not depend on speed as whatever the speed may be, if the initial and final points and path remains same, the distance remains same.

Two vertical glass tubes filled with a liquid are connected by a capillary tube as shown in the figure. The tube on the left is put in an ice bath at $0^o C$ while the tube on the right is kept at $30^o C$ in a water bath. The difference in the levels of the liquid in the two tubes is $4 \,\,cm$ while the height of the liquid column at $0^o C$ is $120\,\,cm$. The coefficient of volume expansion of liquid is (Ignore expansion of glass tube)
An ideal gas in a cylinder is separated by a piston in such a way that the entropy of one part is $S_{1}$ and that of the other part is $S_{2}$. Given that $S _{1}> S _{2}$. If the piston is removed then the total entropy of the system will be :
