I know in this process a gas expands or is made to get compressed very rapidly as the flow of heat requires finite time .. but am getting a bit confused with these 2 examples ? on what basis have they been regarded adiabatic?

A process in which no heat enters or leaves the system ?

how is the rapid escape of air from a burst tyre and cloud formation in atmosphere an example of adiabatic process? please explain

The percentage errors in the measurement of mass and speed are 2 % and 3% respectively.how much wil be the maximum error in the estimate of kinetic energy obtained by measuring mass and speed? its ans is 8 % .. according to this equation K = mv^2/ 2 , so dK / K = dm/m + 2dv / v ( d means...

I have a question relating this topic, please help me find it out.. In case an insulator charged by friction is brought near ta a conductor it gets the charges on conductor induced or polarized.. what if it is actually touched with a conductor, would the excess charges now flow in between them?
