AI Thread Summary
Altitude, pressure, and temperature significantly impact airship gas dynamics. As altitude increases, pressure decreases, causing the gas inside the airship to expand. When temperature rises, gas also expands, but if temperature decreases proportionally with pressure, the gas volume remains stable. However, in practice, pressure typically falls faster than temperature, leading to further gas expansion. Understanding these relationships is crucial for airship design and operation.

Ok i need to know this for an essay I'm doign can someone explain to me the effect that changes in altitude pressure and temperature effect the gas inside the airship?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
IF pressure drops gas expands if tempreture rises gas expands. So if the tempreture falls propotionaly to the fall in pressure then the gas stays the same volume. However this isn't the case and the pressue falls faster than the tempreture so the gas expands. should help
 
thanks its coming along well

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
