Torque and Angular Momentum
The instructor explains that when the net torque is zero, angular momentum is conserved.
Boiled Egg vs. Raw Egg
The instructor explains that a boiled egg has a lower moment of inertia and higher angular velocity compared to a raw egg because the liquid state in a raw egg distributes mass differently.
Helicopter Propellers
The instructor explains that a helicopter needs two propellers to conserve angular momentum. If there is only one propeller, the helicopter itself would rotate in the opposite direction.
Balancing a Bicycle
The instructor explains that it is easier to balance a bicycle in motion because the rotating wheels possess angular momentum, which remains constant in the absence of external torque.

The instructor explains that liquids have no linear and aerial expansion because they have no shape of their own and always take the shape of the container. They only have volume expansion.
Specific Gas Constant
The instructor defines the specific gas constant as the universal gas constant per unit mass and notes that it is different for different gases.
Black Color and Heat Absorption
The instructor explains that black color is a good absorber and emitter of heat. Therefore, the outside of utensils is coated black, and the bottom is made of copper because copper is a good conductor of heat.

The instructor explains that a body does not radiate heat at 0 Kelvin but radiates heat at 0 degrees Celsius.
White Roofs During Summer
The instructor explains that the roofs of buildings are often painted white during summer because white paint is a good reflector of heat and a bad absorber of heat.
Greenhouse Effect
The instructor briefly mentions the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Emissive Power and Emissivity
The instructor defines emissive power as the radiant energy radiated by the body per second per unit area at a given wavelength and temperature. Emissivity is the ratio of the emissive power of the body to that of a black body at the same temperature.

The instructor explains that a heat engine with 100% efficiency can never be realized in practice because it would require the cold reservoir to be at absolute zero or the hot reservoir to be at infinite temperature.
Adiabatic Expansion of Air
The instructor explains that in summer, when the valve of a bicycle tube is opened, the escaping air appears to be cold because the air inside expands adiabatically and becomes cool.
Brake Drum Heating
The instructor explains that the brake drum of an automobile gets heated up while moving down at a constant speed due to the friction between the wheel and the brake drum.
Thermo Flask Shaking
The instructor explains that when a thermo flask containing liquid is shaken vigorously, the temperature increases slightly because work is done on the system, increasing its internal energy.
Refrigerator Door Open
The instructor explains that a room cannot be cooled by leaving the doors of an electric refrigerator open because the refrigerator absorbs heat from the cold reservoir and rejects more heat into the surrounding, increasing the room's temperature.
Internal Energy Changes in Thermodynamic Processes
The instructor explains that in an isothermal process, there is no change in internal energy (ΔU = 0) because the temperature is constant. In an adiabatic process, the change in internal energy is equal to the negative of the work done (ΔU = -ΔW).
Skating on Snow
The instructor explains that skating is possible on snow due to the formation of water below the skates. Water is formed at a lower temperature due to the increase in pressure, and it acts as a lubricant.
