Temperature and pressure question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the maximum temperature in a volleyball upon impact with the ground, given its mass, volume, overpressure, and the height it bounces. Overpressure is understood as the pressure above atmospheric pressure, which affects the ball's internal conditions. Participants suggest that during the bounce, the ball's kinetic energy converts to internal energy, leading to a temperature increase. The relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature is highlighted, but specific calculations remain unclear to the participants. The conversation emphasizes the need for a clearer approach to determine the temperature change based on the provided parameters.

hi everyone!

I have the following problem:

A volley-ball of mass m=200g and volume V=8L is inflated ith the overpresure of delta P = 0.2x10^5 Pa. A ball was thrown upwards to the height of h=20m, fell down, hit the ground, and bounced at approximately the same height. The temperature of the surrounding air is T=300k. the specific heat of the air is c=0.7kJ/(kg K)
Estimate hte maximum temperature in the ball during the hit

The problem I'm having:
I don't understand what is overpressure in this context.. From what I've read on the web and the context of the question, i believe the delta P is how much over the atmospheric pressure..

Also, I'm not really sure how to approach this question.. Can someone give me a hint of what to look up? thanks alot!

Hi! I also think overpressure means the pressure over atmospheric pressure, in other words the net pressure that affects the ball.

But I am somewhat fuzzy on exactly what should be done here, but I think the idea is that at some point during the bounce, all of the balls kinetic energy from the fall has trasnfered into its internal energy. Internal energy again is directly proportional to temperature, so you should get the change in temperature.
 
Pressure = Overpressure + p_o = 1 atm (101325 Pa)
Pressure = p_o (1 atm (101325 Pa)) - Underpressure

If a bottle has the overpressure of 2,5 atm then it has a total pressure of 3,5 atm

If a bottle has the underpressure of 0,25 atm then it has a total pressure of 0,75 atm
 
After some more thinking, i figured that since the ball bounces and at one moment, it deforms as it hits the ground. Since the internal pressure increases because of the smaller volumne, the pressure increases accordingly, and temperature increases as well.. However, i don't know how to calculate the temperature with the given parameter..
 
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 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
