Calculate the work done on the gas during the expansion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the final temperature and work done during the expansion of one mole of an ideal gas at constant pressure. The initial temperature is given as 4°C, and the gas expands to four times its original volume at 1.00 atm. Participants emphasize using the ideal gas law to derive the final temperature and work done. The conversation highlights the need to convert temperatures to Kelvin and apply relevant equations for accurate calculations. Overall, the thread aims to guide users through solving the problem step-by-step.

Homework Statement


One mole of an ideal gas initially at a temperature of T_{}i = 4\circ C undergoes an expansion at a constant pressue of 1.00 atm, to four times its original volume.

a.) Calculate the new temperature T_{}f of the gas.
answer in K
b.) Calculate the work done on the gas during the expansion.
answer in Kj

Well you have the ideal gas equation, as you have already pointed out. What do you think we could do with it?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

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...
