What is the heat added to this monatomic ideal gas

AI Thread Summary
To determine the heat added to a monatomic ideal gas expanding at a constant pressure of 110 kPa from 0.75 m³ to 0.93 m³, the work done on the gas can be calculated using W = P∆V. The change in internal energy, ∆U, can be expressed as ∆U = (3/2)nR∆T, where n is the number of moles and R is the ideal gas constant. The heat added, Q, is then found using the equation Q = ∆U + W. The discussion highlights the need for assumptions regarding temperature change to accurately calculate ∆U. Understanding these relationships is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


A monatomic ideal gas expands at a pressure of 110kPa and from a volume of 0.75m^3 to 0.93m^3. Find the amount of heat added to the gas.


Homework Equations


So what I did was:
W= P∆V
and I know ∆U= Q-W
so Q would equal ∆U+W, but how do you know what ∆U equals?


The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org


what are you assumptions? that will tell you what delta U is equal to.
 


If I assume that this is at a constant pressure ∆U= 3/2nR∆T?, but since W=P∆V=nR∆T then ∆U= 3/2W?

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...

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...
