Hi Choppy, Thank you for the information and links, I will give them a look over to help me with my decisions. Referring to residency programs and their selection process, what is your take on DMP programs? From my initial research they sound somewhat like a masters in which you pay for a...

Hi all, I'm a current full-time employee in a calibration laboratory with a b.s. in applied physics. I see in my current position there is a ceiling for career opportunities and am looking to return to school for my masters. I feel that I would enjoy the clinical side of things, I consider...

Homework Statement I have a system of two masses m1 and m2 coupled by two springs with constants k1 and k2. If m1 and m2 are equal what would be the normal modes for this system? Homework Equations Equations of motion for the system: \begin{align*} m_1\ddot{x}_1 &=...

So in that case what equation would I use to determine the change in internal temperature? Everything I am finding seems to deal with ideal gas or changes in temperature with constant pressure, not the other way around.

Homework Statement A 200g cylinder of metallic copper is compressed isothermally and quasi-statically at 290K in a high-pressure cell. A) Find the change in internal energy of the copper when the pressure is increased from 0 to 12kbar. B) How much heat is exchanged with the surrounding fluid...
