Hi all, I'm stuck on a system of equations I am left with at the end of a dynamics problem. a=-b+v x=-b+vcos(30) y=vsin(30) 171.5=20b^2+5a^2 a^2=x^2+y^2 10x-40b=0 All in degrees. I know I have an extra equation, but I thought I'd include it in case it is easier to solve with a...

I see, thank you. So, the change in temperature when a can is discharged into the atmosphere is due to the opposing pressure of the atmosphere, and the work that the can gas must do to overcome it? Thanks

Hi all, Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, I'm new here. I have a thermodynamics question. Why is the temperature change 0 in the case of a partitioned tank containing an ideal gas when the partition is removed? This seems to run counter to the idea of an aerosol spray can...
