    Molar heat capacity and Degrees of freedom

    Homework Statement The diagram shows the molar heat capacity of an ideal diatomic gas and the number of degrees of freedom at different temperatures. Explain why there are 3 discrete plateaus and why the curve is smooth and leaning between them. Homework Equations - The Attempt at a Solution...

    Revolutions per second for hydrogen molecule

    You are correct, I must have made a careless mistake somewhere. Thank you for your assistance!

    Revolutions per second for hydrogen molecule

    ##\frac{1.03*10^{13}}{2\pi}=1.64*10^{12}## Still not correct, correct answer should be ##5.2*10^{12}##

    Revolutions per second for hydrogen molecule

    ##E_{rotational}=1/2 I\omega^2 \Leftrightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{I}} \\ I=1/2mr^2## $$\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{4E}{mr^2}}$$ ##\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{4*0.0151*1.606*10^{-19}}{1.66*10^{-27}*(7.41*10^{-11})^2}}=1.03*10^{13}##

    Revolutions per second for hydrogen molecule

    Do you mean rotational dynamics $$E_{rotational}=1/2 I\omega^2$$ This? I still don't get the right answer.

    Revolutions per second for hydrogen molecule

    Homework Statement The distance between the both nucleons in the H2 molecule is 0.0741 nm The energy for the 3 lowest radiation levels of the molecule are: ##E_{0}=0 \\ E_{1}=0.0151 eV \\ E_{2}=0.0453 eV## How many revolutions per second does the molecule rotate with in the different states...

    Why is a potentiometer used in this circuit instead of a variable resistor?

    I want to understand how this circuit demonstrating the photoelectric effect works. Please see attached picture. On the picture we see light entering the cathode C, which, if the light is above the threshold frequency can eject electrons from the cathode, which hits the anode A, creating a...

    Heat Pump Power and COP: How Does Temperature Affect Efficiency?

    So if we start with question a) to calculate P = Q/t we can use that Q=m*c*ΔT so for for the 10 liters of water in the hot reservoir we get P=10*4186*25.8/1616=668 W. However it says the answer for a) is 667 W. Any idea why the difference? For question b) we have Vf = Pout / Pin where Pout =...

    Highest possible efficiency of an engine

    Homework Statement The highest theoretical efficiency of an engine is e=(TH-TC)/TH where TH is the highest and TC is the lowest temperature during the circuit process. In a test car with a stirling engine the highest temperature during the circuit process is 700 °C and the lowest temperature...

    Power of an Engine: Work & Effects

    Homework Statement An engine goes through a "square" circuit process (is btw "circuit process" this the correct term in English?) according to the diagram below: a) How much work is performed by the engine during one revolution in the circuit process? b) What effect does the engine...
