Final Final temperature Gas Graph Ideal gas Temperature

AI Thread Summary

To find the final temperature of a monatomic ideal gas from a P vs V graph, one must utilize the ideal gas law, which relates pressure (P), volume (V), and temperature (T). The initial temperature at point A can be used alongside the changes in pressure and volume to calculate the final temperature. The area under the curve or the specific path taken on the graph may also provide insights into the work done on or by the gas, impacting its thermal state. Understanding the relationships between these variables is crucial for accurate calculations. Ultimately, applying the ideal gas law allows for determining the final temperature based on the provided graph data.

Given a graph of P vs V of a monatomic ideal gas, how can we find the final temperature when the inital temperature is given ?

Thx~

What do you know about the relationship between pressure, volume and temperature?

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

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...

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 .
