A flask is closed by a stop valve. The valve allows only those air molecules that are moving faster than a certain speed to move out of the flask and allows only air molecules that are moving slower than that speed to enter the flask from outside. What effect would this filter have on the temperature of the air in the flask.

When the observer moves towards the stationary source with velocity, v_1 , the apparent frequency of emitted note is f_1 . When the observer moves away from the source with velocity v_1 , the apparent frequency is f_2 . If v is the velocity of sound in air and f_1/f_2 = 2,then v/v_1 = ?

A large box, placed on the ground, has to be shifted up to a wall, as shown in the given figure. Three boys push the box together. They have to apply a large amount of force to move the box. The motion of the box is opposed by the frictional force between the box and the ground. If wheels were present below the box, then they would have to apply

(a) When a molecule (or an elastic ball) hits a (massive) wall, it rebounds with the same speed. When a ball hits a massive bat held firmly, the same thing happens However, when the bat is moving towards the ball, the ball rebounds with a different speed. Does the ball move faster or slower? (b) When gas in a cylinder is compressed by pushing in a piston. Its temperature rises. Guess at an explanation of this in terms of kinetic theory using (a) above (c) What happens when a compressed gas pushes a piston out and expands. What would you observe? (d) Sachin Tendulkar uses a heavy cricket bat while playing. Does it help him in any way?
