Homework Statement


A system expands by 0.75 m^3 at a constant pressure of 125 kPa. Find the heat that flows into or out of the system if its internal energy
a. Increases by 65J
b. Decreases by 1850 J
give answer kJ


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


P=125 kPA
delta U=Q-W
W=P(delta U)
so i plug in the numbers
W=(125kPa)(0.75m^3)=93.75

Part a)
delta U=65kPA

65=Q-93.75
Q= 158.75 J= .15878 kJ

Part B)
1850= Q-93.75
Q= 1756.25J=1.77kJ

And the answer is wrong, can someone help me please
 
Physics news on Phys.org
no i meant W=P(delta V)
I just typed in the wrong thing
sorry for the mistake
so do you know what i should do
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
