Process Temperature Terms Thermodynamics

AI Thread Summary

The discussion revolves around finding the equation for a thermodynamic process involving an ideal gas, where the molar heat capacity is defined as c = Cv + 3at^2, with 'a' being a constant. Participants express confusion regarding the complete problem statement needed to derive the equation in terms of temperature (T) and volume (V). Clarification is sought on the specific requirements of the question to proceed with the solution. The lack of complete information hinders progress in solving the problem. Overall, the focus is on understanding the relationship between heat capacity, temperature, and volume in the context of thermodynamics.

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:
