I know the equation for damped oscillation where the damping force depends on velocity. In that case the damped oscillation has a fixed angular frequency and thus time period! I am wondering if there are any types of damped oscillation where the time period is not constant i.e. the motion is not...

here, the domain run in circular fashion within the body. How will the magnetic field lines look?

Say if I magnetize a hollow cylindrical ring magnet by placing a staight current carrying wire along its axis. It will be magnetized with magnetic field lines running inside the cylinder clockwise or anticlockwise! So there will be no magnetic field lines outside the iron body? If I have a...

Is there a form of the van der waal equation in terms of the Cv of the gas? Is it derivable?

I came across this problem in University Physics: (a) Oxygen 1O22 has a molar mass of 32.0 g>mol. What is the average translational kinetic energy of an oxygen molecule at a temperature of 300 K? (b) What is the average value of the square of its speed? (c) What is the root-mean-square speed...

Thanks :-) both of you

Imagine a special air filter placed in a window of a house. The tiny holes in the filter allow only air molecules moving faster than a certain speed to exit the house, and allow only air molecules moving slower than that speed to enter the house from outside. What effect would this filter have...

Thanks stevendaryl, I was thinking the same. Just wanted to confirm :)

The derivation of the ideal-gas equation included the assumption that the number of molecules is very latge, so that we could compute the average force due to many collisions. However, the ideal-gas equation holds accurately only at low pressures, where the molecules are few and far between...

When two gases are mixed, if they are to be in thermal equilibrium, they must have the same average molecular speed. Why or why not?

Well! the material to be freeze-dried is irradiated with IR radiations before, why?? Also I am confused as to how can ice sublime at atmospheric pressure?? Isn't the triple point of water much lower? is the vacuum around the material created for this reason? ( to lower the pressure I mean) Also...
