The rapid escape of air from a burst tire is an example of

- B
Isothermal process
- C
Cooling process
- D
First law of thermodynamics
The burst of a tire is a sudden process. The process occurs instantaneously, such that the system does not get sufficient time to exchange heat with the surroundings; therefore, Q = 0.
And we know that in diabetics, heat is neither absorbed nor released by a system, i.e., Q = 0.
Hence, the bursting of a tire is an example of an adiabatic process.
Correct
Incorrect, as an isothermal process is a thermodynamic process in which the temperature of a system remains constant.
Cooling is the removal of heat, usually resulting in a lower temperature and/or phase change.
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be converted from one form to another
