SECTION-D
29Case Study : THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.

A process in which the temperature of the system is kept fixed throughout is called an
isothermal process. The expansion of a gas in a metallic cylinder placed in a large reservoir of
fixed temperature is an example of an isothermal process. (Heat transferred from the reservoir
to the system does not materially affect the temperature of the reservoir, because of its very
large heat capacity.) In isobaric processes the pressure is constant while in isochoric processes
the volume is constant. Finally, if the system is insulated from the surroundings and no heat
flows between the system and the surroundings, the process is adiabatic.

(i) Name the physical quantities which remain constant in isobaric process.

(iii) Distinguish between the isothermal process and the adiabatic process.

and adiabatic process? 4

30 Case Study : Third law of motion

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.the mutual forces between two bodies
are always equal and opposite. This idea was expressed by Newton in the form of the third law
of motion. To every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Forces always occur
in pairs. Force on a body A by B is equal and opposite to the force on the body B by A. The
terms action and reaction in the third law may give a wrong impression that action comes before
reaction i.e action is the cause and reaction the effect. There is no cause effect relation implied
in the third law. The force on A by B and the force on B by Aact at the same instant. By the
same reasoning, any one of them may be called action and the other reaction. Action and
reaction forces act on different bodies, not on the same body. Consider a pair of bodies A and B.
According to the third law, FAB = – FBA

(force on A by B) = – (force on B by A) ,Thus if we are considering the motion of any one body
(A or B), only one of the two forces is

relevant. It is an error to add up the two forces and claim that the net force is zero.

(i) When two bodies interact, they exert force on each other, and

these forces are known as ____

(ii) Define net force.
