    Finding the total vertical distance - transverse wave

    Homework Statement Suppose the amplitude and frequency of the transverse wave in the figure are, respectively, 5.89 cm and 5.00 Hz. Find the total vertical distance (in cm) through which the colored dot moves in 3.00 s. http://i45.tinypic.com/3007ihy.png Homework Equations y = A sin...

    Calculating molar specific heat capacity - not a monatomic gas

    Never mind. I see that J/mole*C is the same thing as J/mole*Kelvin No need for a conversion.

    Calculating molar specific heat capacity - not a monatomic gas

    1. Suppose that 25 J of heat is added to one mole of an ideal gas. The gas expands at a constant pressure of 2.62 x 10^4 pascals while changing its volume rom 4.97 x 10^-4 m^3 to 7.02 x 10^-4 m^3. Calculate C_p and express in Joule / (mole * Celsius) 2. Relevant equations Q =...
