AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on solving for T2 using the Ideal Gas Law. The initial calculations incorrectly used Celsius instead of Kelvin for temperature. The correct approach requires converting the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin before applying the formula. After conversion, the correct answer is determined to be 323 K. Understanding the importance of temperature units is crucial in gas law calculations.

For this question

Followed is my working

P1/T1=P2/T2
T2=(T1/P1)*P2
=(T1)*(P2/P1)
=25 * 2
=50

But the answer is D. 323,
may I know what is my problem?

Yes, for the ideal gas law you should measure temperature in degrees kelvin. Convert C to K, solve the problem and convert K to C.

I see, thanks for help!

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 .

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...
