    Calculating rms speed of hydrogen molecules

    1800(Initial Energy) + 500 - 2000 = 300 J Am I missing something or does the thermal energy also play a factor.

    Calculating rms speed of hydrogen molecules

    Homework Statement The rms speed of the molecules in 1.1 g of hydrogen gas is 1800 m/s. 500 J of work are done to compress the gas while, in the same process, 2000 J of heat energy are transferred from the gas to the environment. Afterward, what is the rms speed of the molecules...

    Buoyant Force Problem: Fraction of Length in More-Dense Liquid | Solution

    Homework Statement A less-dense liquid of density ρ1 floats on top of a more-dense liquid of density ρ2 . A uniform cylinder of length l and densityρ, with ρ1< ρ<ρ2, floats at the interface with its long axis vertical. What fraction of the length is in the more-dense liquid? Homework...

    Parabolic Water Tank Homework: Find Work W Done to Lower Water

    Homework Statement The ends of a "parabolic" water tank are the shape of the region inside the graph of y = x2 for 0 ≤ y ≤ 4 ; the cross sections parallel to the top of the tank (and the ground) are rectangles. At its center the tank is 4 feet deep and 4 feet across. The tank is 6 feet...
