Why work done by a force was taken as dot product between force applied and displacement caused?

If we repeat this experiment with volume as constant i.e. putting same amount of water at same temperature in two closed containers so that they are full without any air gap, then heat one of those. After the heated one has gained enough energy, its mass will be more, even though its weight on...

What will be the temperature at the time of big crunch? and will any life form survive at the time of big crunch?

Thanks a lot! The sqrt 2 example above, makes the picture clear.

I am struggling to draw this point home: To prove that R has LUB property, we used the following reasoning: First we defined R to be set of cuts (having certain properties) where each cut corresponds to a real number and then we proved any subset A of R has LUB (least upper bound) property...

I was reading about the experiment of constant volume gas thermometer today. When we extrapolate the presuure -temperature lines, the lines would meet at point -273.15 degree celsius, which is zero presure. I was wondering whether it is a matter of coincidence or some science behind it. The...
