(b) A sealed container of fixed volume $V$ contains $N$ molecules, each of mass $m$ , of an ideal gas at pressure $p$ .

(i) State an expression, in terms of $V$ , $N$ , $p$ and the Boltzmann constant $k$ , for the thermodynamic temperature $T$ of the gas.

(ii) Use the expression in (b)(ii) and the information in (c)(i) to show that the specific heat capacity $c$ of the gas is given by

$$
c = \frac{3k}{2m}.
$$

[2]

(d) The container in (b) is now replaced with one that does not have a fixed volume. Instead, the gas is able to expand, so that the pressure of the gas remains constant as thermal energy is supplied.

Suggest, with a reason, how the specific heat capacity of the gas would now compare with the value in (c)(ii).

4 A trolley on a track is attached by springs to fixed blocks X and Y, as shown in Fig. 4.1. The track contains many small holes through which air is blown vertically upwards. This results in the trolley resting on a cushion of air rather than being in direct contact with the track.

<div style="text-align: center;">
    ![image](image_1.png)
</div>

Fig. 4.1

The trolley is pulled to one side of its equilibrium position and then released so that it oscillates initially with simple harmonic motion. After a short time, the air blower is switched off. The variation with time $t$ of the distance $L$ of the trolley from block X is shown in Fig. 4.2.

(iii) the maximum speed $v_0$ , in cm s $^{-1}$ , of the oscillating trolley.

$v_0 = \underline{\hspace{5cm}} \text{ cm s}^{-1} \ [2]$

(b) Apart from the quantities in (a), describe what may be deduced from Fig. 4.2 about the motion of the trolley between time $t = 0$ and time $t = 24$ s. No calculations are required.

5 An analogue signal is to be transmitted to a receiver. Before transmission, the signal passes through an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC). After transmission it passes through a digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) before finally reaching the receiver, as shown in Fig. 5.1.

(c) The ADC in (b) is replaced with one that has a sampling frequency of 500 Hz and uses 3-bit sampling, with the least significant bit corresponding to 2 mV.
