Explanation:
373$K$ is the boiling point of water. Temperature does not change until all water is boiled. B and C show temperature change at $t=0$. D is not compatible with the question. You might have seen graphs that resemble options B and D in this context, they are there to distract you.

Explanation:
Statement I is correct. The scattering of sunlight returns part of the sunlight back to space, reducing intensity on the ground.

Statement II is correct. The rotation of earth causes day and night, reducing the time the solar panel is exposed to sunlight and also changing the incident angle of sunlight on the panel.

Statement III is correct. The intensity on the solar panel is maximum when its surface is perpendicular to incident sunlight, but due to the seasons, the time of day and the installation angle of the panel the sunlight will not be normally incident on the panel.

Thus, D is the answer.

Explanation:

Solar constant (S) is the intensity of sun light at the orbit of the planet. For Earth, at a distance of 1AU from the sun, it is 1.36×10^3 W m^−2

Intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source: I∝1/d^2

$\therefore$ Intensity at a distance 30 times as far will be 30^2 (=900) times weaker.

SNeptune=1360/900=1.5 W m^−2

Explanation:
Using V=W/q from the data booklet, we find that the charge q passing through the bulb in 2 seconds equals W/V=1000 J/200 V=5C.

Since I=Δq/Δt, the current in the bulb is 5C/2 s=2.5 A

Explanation:
Gas pressure is caused by the particles colliding with the walls, applying a force to them. It is related to the rate of particle-wall collisions per unit surface area of the container per unit time.

A is incorrect because with an increased number of particles more particle-wall collisions will occur and that will lead to a greater rate of collision per unit surface area of cylinder per unit time since there will be no change in the speed of the particles.

B is incorrect because actually the additional particles bring in more kinetic energy so the existing kinetic energy is not being distributed over a larger number of particles. Additionally, since the temperature is being kept constant, the average kinetic energy is constant.

C is correct because there are now more particles in the same volume, the rate of collision per unit surface area of the cylinder per unit time will increase.

D is incorrect because there is no change in the average speed of the particles due to the temperature remaining the same. Temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles, and the particle kinetic energy depends on the speed of the particles.

Explanation:

The kinetic model of ideal gases assumes that intermolecular forces (and therefore intermolecular potential energy) are negligible, and that the mean kinetic energy of molecules is directly proportional to gas temperature; hence, Properties I and II stay constant during the expansion. Conversely, Property III changes because gas pressure decreases during the expansion, and pressure scales with the frequency of molecular collisions with the walls of the piston.

The change of state will occur at the same temperature as the original graph but take less time to complete.

Explanation:

Ice has half the specific heat capacity of liquid water and the rate of energy loss is constant. Therefore, after freezing the temperature of the system decreases at twice the rate compared to when cooling in the liquid state.

Explanation:

Uranium-235 is a rare radioactive isotope on Earth, extracted from uranium ores. The available uranium is limited and will be depleted in time. Biomass will replenish in a human lifetime, so is considered renewable.

Explanation:

60$J$ per second gives power, P=60W

$A$ therefore the answer is A.

Explanation:
Uranium is a non-renewable source of energy whereas wind is renewable.

Explanation:
Non-renewable sources are sources where the rate of replenishment is much longer than a human lifespan. Examples include nuclear, coal, oil, and natural gas. Therefore, the answer is A.

Explanation:

The net change in the internal energy of a cyclic process is zero because it returns to its original temperature after each cycle. This means that statement I is correct.

The total change in entropy is zero for any reversible cycle. This means that statement II is correct as the gas returns to its original state each cycle.

The graph is for a heat engine, which takes in heat and does work on the environment. Therefore statement III is incorrect. A clockwise cycle always does net positive work on the environment.

Explanation:
Due to the fixed volume, the separation between the gas molecules decreases. According to the ideal gas law, the pressure of the gas will increase and so does the collision frequency. The mass of the container will also be greater with the addition of more gas in the container. The only constant quantity is the average size of the molecules. It is dependent on molecular structure only. Therefore the answer is C.

Explanation:

From the circuit symbols in the data booklet, component A is a heating element.

When current flows in the circuit, the heating element will increase in temperature and the resistance will increase. This will increase the total resistance of the circuit and result in a decrease in the current due to the relationship I=V/R.
