Homework Statement


I have a grid with
Surrounding density = rho
Surrounding Temp = T
Surrounding Pressure = P

And I also have denser particles which over all have
density = 10rho
temp = 10T
Pressure = P

Now I want to average the densities, and have that as my new surrounding density with no particles .. But if i take the averages, I will get a different value for the pressure whiche doesn't make sense
How would I take the average ?



Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution

If the particles don't follow the same equation of state, how do you calculate the pressure for the combined gas? Or should you have the temperature of denser particles be 1/10 T?

sorry yes T= 1/10 K
and I think i worked it out, would this be the average density:

(Volume of particle/total volume)*(10rho) + (Volume of surrounding/total volume)*rho = Average density
 

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
