Ideal gas internal energy depends on: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Ideal gas internal energy depends on:
A. Temperature only
B. Pressure
C. Volume
D. All state variables
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Ideal gas: no intermolecular forces ⇒ internal energy = kinetic energy ∝ T. U = f/2 nRT. Memory tip: 'Ideal gas: U = U(T) only; real gases have V dependence'. Thermodynamics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
If a force of 10 N acts on a body and displaces it by 2 m in the direction of the force, the work done is:
A. 5 J
B. 0 J
C. 20 J
D. 12 J

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Work done (W) is calculated as the dot product of force and displacement: W = F × d × cos(θ). Since the displacement is in the direction of the force, the angle θ is 0°, and cos(0°) = 1. W = 10 N × 2 m × 1 = 20 Joules (J).

Question #2
The splitting of white light by a prism is due to
A. Reflection
B. Dispersion
C. Interference
D. Diffraction

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Different colours have different speeds/refractive indices in glass, causing dispersion.

Question #3
Weight of an object on the Moon is about _____ of its weight on Earth.
A. 1/6
B. 1/8
C. 1/4
D. 1/2

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. So weight (mg) is 1/6 of Earth weight. Mass remains same. g_moon ≈ 1.62 m/s², g_earth ≈ 9.8 m/s², ratio ≈ 1/6. Common fact in space science.
