Update, I think I figured it out but not really understanding
For process 3->4,
Wgas,isothermal = area under curve = 1/2bh + Arectangle = 2pV
We can plug in our area into the work in isothermal equation, thus
Wgas,isothermal = -pVln(Vf/Vi) = -2pVln(2V/V)
|Q| = ΔEth(3->4) + Wgas,isothermal...
Problem and pV diagram
Problem: Rank the magnitude of the heat transferred with the gas in each of the four processes.
Given pV diagram
Attempt at solution with my questions in red
Equations used:
Thermal energy: Eth=3/2nRT
Ideal gas law: pV=nRT
Workby...
Thank you,
Here's a example where I keep getting hung up on.
Fnet=ma=FB-W
The example gives Fnet = FB + 17.5 N - W = 0
where did ma go? Why is the zero placed on the far right?
my interpretation using my given equation sheet is: 0 = FB + 17.5 N - W, because we know Fnet = 0[/sub][/sub]
Hello all,
I'm doing some major review for a upcoming final and am making sure to fill in some arithmetic gaps. I am trying study using only my equation sheet given for my course.
I am having a hard time understanding the relationships between some of the equations that are given...
