1.如圖，一小塊物體自高度h沿著光滑斜面滑下，撞上另外一塊等質量的物體。撞上後兩塊 物體就黏成一塊並衝上另一個光滑斜面。如果整個運動過程中沒有其它阻力，黏成一塊的物 體最多可以衝到多高？(A)h/4(B)h/2 (C) h (D) 2h (E) 4h

 2.考慮一均勻材料製作的實心圓柱體，受到重力作用從一斜面上自靜止狀態滾下。如果此圓 柱在滾下的過程中為純滾動、沒有滑動、且不考慮空氣的影響，則以下敘述何者為非？ (A)此一運動過程中，圓柱本來具有的重力位能被轉換成圓柱的移動動能和轉動動能，沒有 其他能量損失。 (B)圓柱有受到摩擦力，但是此摩擦力沒有做功。 (C)若將圓柱改換成圓截面半徑相同、質量也相同的均勻實心球體，最後滾到斜面底時球體 的移動速度會比原來的圓柱快。 (D)如果此斜面變得更斜，但是圓柱的初始高度和原來相同、並維持沒有滑動，圓柱到達斜 面底端時的轉動速度會比原來的斜面快。 (E)如果此斜面極度光滑、不存在摩擦力，圓柱到達斜面底端時移動速度會比純滾動的圓柱 快。

3.總量固定、體積為V的理想氣體經自由膨脹，體積變為4V，熵上升的量為△S1。然後再 度經由自由膨脹，體積從4V變成8V，同時熵第二次上升的量為△S2。第一次熵上升量是二 次熵上升量的幾倍，即△S1/△S2 = ?(A)4(B)2 (C) 3/2 (D) 3/4 (E) 1/2
