    Thermodynamics - know process, work and change in entropy. Final temperature?

    Get Tfinal - Tinitial through work, then you can solve integral dphi=dq/t and get the answer for Tfinal.

    Thermodynamics - know process, work and change in entropy. Final temperature?

    So, the problem is: A 200-gram sample of dry air is heated isobarically. Its entropy increases by 19.2 J/K and the work done by expansion is 1.61x103 J. Solve for the final temperature of the air. Okay, since p=const => dq=CpdT thus instead of dq=du+dw we can write dq=dq(Cv/Cp)+dw can find...

    Moment of inertia of triangular prism

    Homework Statement Find the moment of inertia of triangular prism (equilateral triangles with side 2a, parallel to xy-plane), mass M. It's centered at the origin with long side parallel to z-axis. Find moment of inertia about the z-axis, and without doing integrals explain two products of...

    Why Does a Helium Balloon Tilt Forward in an Accelerating Car?

    So, the only difference is that in case of balloon - it's lighter than air => the air will move to the back of the car and thus push baloon forward?...

    Why Does a Helium Balloon Tilt Forward in an Accelerating Car?

    Homework Statement Why is helium balloon in accelerating car tilting forward? Homework Equations The example that I think that I understand - is simple pendulum in accelerating car - and everything there is clear - g(effective)=g-A (all of them are vectors). The Attempt at a Solution So...

    What Is the Eccentricity of an Orbit Given Vmin and Vmax?

    Homework Statement A satellite in an orbit around Earth has velocities between Vmin=V-V0 and Vmax=V+V0. Find the eccentricity of the orbit. Homework Equations rmin=l^2/(Gm1m2*mu*(1+e)) E=(Gm1m2)^2*mu*(e^2-1)/2l^2 where mu = reduced mass = m1m2/m1+m2 The Attempt at a Solution I know...
