A cycle tire bursting suddenly is an example of?
Correct answer: C. Adiabatic process
- A. Isothermal process
- B. lsochoric process
- C. Adiabatic process
- D. Isobaric process
Explanation
OPTION A: The thermodynamic process which is carried out in such a way that a system undergoes changes but its temperature remains constant is called an isothermal process.EXAMPLE: Boiling water is an isothermal process as the temperature of the water stays at 1000C even though you add heat to the system.OPTION B: The thermodynamic process during which the volume of the system remains constant is called the isochoric process. EXAMPLE: The volume of the pressure cooker is constant hence it is an Isochoric process.OPTION C: The thermodynamic process during which no heat enters or leaves a system is called the adiabatic process. Hence, the bursting of a tyre is an example of an adiabatic process. C is the correct option.OPTION D: It is an incorrect option

About First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law relates heat supplied, work done and the change in internal energy through energy conservation. Problems use sign conventions and apply the law to isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric and isochoric processes. Internal energy is a state function, while heat and work depend on the path followed.
