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 'Power of a thin lens in a medium is 1/fₘ or μₘ/fₘ ?'

Here is what I tried This question was actually asked in one of our engineering entrances. The answer was 1D. My teachers say that we have to use μₘ/fₘ to get to this answer. I cannot understand why. I'll be really glad if you could tell me the exact definition of power (numerically) that works in all scenarios.

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...

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...
