I was reading an old thermodynamics textbook and came across this equation describing change in internal energy. What does the (

dU/dT)V and (dU/dV)T mean? I think it’s partial derivatives, but I’ve never seen a derivative sub (something). Please help

Explanation:

I remember that notation! The expression

$dQ = dU = (\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial T})_{V} dT+ (\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial V})_{T}dV$

is the 1st law of thermodynamics and it refers to the heat supplied to the system dQ which is also a change in its internal energy dU. The first term is the <u>partial</u> derivative of the internal energy U with respect to temperature T while the volume V is kept constant, as denoted by the subscript V. The 2nd term is similar but this time, temperature is kept constant while its volume partial derivative is being taken.

Ah, memories!

The probability of breaking a tree branch increases

inessss [21]

Answer:

Its due to moment of force. Explanation: Possibility of breaking the branch increases when a person goes to the tip of the branch due to moment of force. Due to moment of force, branch tend to bend downward when we go at the tip of branch.

If all of the forces acting on an object are balanced, then:

kondaur [170]

A. the direction the object is moving in will not change.

B. the acceleration of the object will be 0 m/s2

Explanation:

We can answer this problem by using Newton's second law of motion:

$\sum F = ma$

where

$\sum F$ is the net force acting on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, all the forces acting on the object are balanced, therefore the net force is zero:

$\sum F=0$

which means that also the acceleration is zero:

$a=0$

Acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity: therefore, zero acceleration means that the velocity of the object does not change. We can now analyze the given statements:

A. the direction the object is moving in will not change. --> TRUE, because the velocity is not changing.

B. the acceleration of the object will be 0 m/s2 --> TRUE, as we stated above

c. the object will not be in motion. --> FALSE: we just know that its velocity is constant, but it can be different from zero

D. the velocity of the object will be 0 m/s. --> FALSE, for the same reason stated in C

The information on a can of soda indicates that the can contains 355 mL. The mass of a full can of soda is 0.369 kg, while an em

Vilka [71]

Answer:

$\rho=995.50\ kg.m^{-3}$

$\bar w=9765.887\ N.m^{-3}$

$s=0.9955$

Explanation:

Given:

volume of liquid content in the can, $v_l=0.355\ L=3.55\times 10^{-4}\ L$

mass of filled can, $m_f=0.369\ kg$

weight of empty can, $w_c=0.153\ N$

<u>So, mass of the empty can:</u>

$m_c=\frac{w_c}{g}$

$m_c=\frac{0.153}{9.81}$

$m_c=0.015596\ kg$

<u>Hence the mass of liquid(soda):</u>

$m_l=m_f-m_c$

$m_l=0.369-0.015596$

$m_l=0.3534\ kg$

<u>Therefore the density of liquid soda:</u>

$\rho=\frac{m_l}{v_l}$ (as density is given as mass per unit volume of the substance)

$\rho=\frac{0.3534}{3.55\times 10^{-4}}$

$\rho=995.50\ kg.m^{-3}$

<u>Specific weight of the liquid soda:</u>

$\bar w=\frac{m_l.g}{v_l}=\rho.g$

$\bar w=995.5\times 9.81$

$\bar w=9765.887\ N.m^{-3}$

Specific gravity is the density of the substance to the density of water:

$s=\frac{\rho}{\rho_w}$

where:

$\rho_w=$ density of water

$s=\frac{995.5}{1000}$

$s=0.9955$
