The rapid escape of air from a burst tyre is an example of:
Correct answer: B. Adiabatic
- A. Isothermal
- B. Adiabatic
- C. Isobaric
- D. Isochoric
Explanation
Isothermal process is the one where temperature remains constant.Isochoric process is the one where volume remains constant.Isobaric process is the one where pressure remains constant.Adiabatic process is a rapid process where heat excahnge of a system is zero. Hence, sudden bursting of a ture is an example of an adibatic process.

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.
