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~

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:
