    Basic Question about Centripetal Force

    well, assuming it maintains its velocity, you can just say that a=v^2 /r where r is the orbit length plus the planets radius: 50pm, and v is 1.804e10 m/s. i think that makes sense.

    Molar Heat Capacity of Monoatomic Ideal Gas in Constant Gravitational Field

    how does the constant gravitational field effect the dQ/dT? Perhaps it means that there is a certain pressure and volume. if p=f/a , v=ah, so pv=fh mgh=fh so pv=mgh if total enthalpy H= PdV or dPV, so perhaps dQ/dT=PdV/dT. what is the total potential energy of an ideal gas??

    Molar Heat Capacity of Monoatomic Ideal Gas in Constant Gravitational Field

    Find the molar heat capacity of the monoatomic ideal gas in the constant gravitational field. (clue: find the average potential energy as a function of temperature using the barometric formula.) could someone please help me out?
