Pressure Volume

AI Thread Summary

To solve the problem of finding the final temperature of an ideal gas when its volume increases from 0.7 m3 to 2.5 m3 at a constant pressure of 3000 Pa, the ideal gas law can be applied. The relationship between temperature and volume for an ideal gas is given by Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure is constant. Using the formula V1/T1 = V2/T2, where V1 is the initial volume, T1 is the initial temperature, V2 is the final volume, and T2 is the final temperature, the final temperature can be calculated. Substituting the known values, the final temperature is determined to be 3214.29 K. Understanding these gas laws is essential for solving similar problems in thermodynamics.

Need help figuring out how to do this type of problem..

The volume of an ideal gas is increased from 0.7 m3 to 2.5 m3 while maintaining a constant pressure of 3000 Pa (1 Pa = 1 N/m2). If the initial temperature is 900K, what is the final temperature (in Kelvin)?

What equations do you know that relate temperature to volume for a gas?

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
