Assertion (A): Air quickly leaking out of a balloon becomes cooler.
Reason (R): The leaking air undergoes adiabatic expansion.
Solution:
Air quickly leaking out of a balloon undergoes rapid expansion. This is an adiabatic process where the gas does work, leading to a decrease in internal energy and thus temperature.
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
