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!

I need ideas of what kind of simple motor i can build and how i can build it. The simple motor MUST spin without using your own
Alborosie

See for yourself how the forces of electricity and magnetism can work together by building a simple DC electric motor using simple materials you can find in any hardware store!

Electricity and magnetism are both forces caused by the movement of tiny charged particles that make up atoms, the building blocks of all matter. When a wire is hooked up to a battery, current flows through the wire because negatively charged electrons flow from the negative terminal of the battery toward the positive terminal of the battery because opposite charges attract each other, while similar charges repel each other. This flow of electrons through the wire is an electric current, and it produces a magnetic field.

In a magnet, atoms are lined up so that the negatively charged electrons are all spinning in the same direction. Like an electric current, the movement of the electrons creates a magnetic force. The area around the magnet where the force is active is called a magnetic field. Metal objects and other magnets that enter this field will be pulled toward the magnet.

The way the atoms are lined up creates two different poles in the magnet, a north pole and a south pole. As with electrical charges, opposite poles attract each other, while like poles repel each other.

Learn about electromagnetism and its many uses here.

Now let's watch it work as we build a motor.

Astronomers observe two separate solar systems each consisting of a planet orbiting a sun. The two orbits are circular and have
Oxana [17]

Answer:

(D) 3

Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by:

\vec{L}=\vec{r}\ X \ \vec{p}

Thus, the magnitude of the angular momenta of both solar systems are given by:

L_1=Rm_1v_1=Rm_1(\omega R)=R^2m_1(\frac{2\pi}{T_1})=2\pi R^2\frac{m_1}{T_1}\\\\L_2=Rm_2v_2=2\pi R^2\frac{m_2}{T_2}

where we have taken that both systems has the same radius.

By taking into account that T1=3T2, we have

L_1=2\pi R^2\frac{m_1}{3T_2}=\frac{1}{3}2\pi R^2\frac{1}{T_2}m_1=\frac{1}{3}\frac{L_2}{m_2}m_1

but L1=L2=L:

L=\frac{1}{3}L\frac{m_1}{m_2}\\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=3

Hence, the answer is (D) 3

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

Which of the following is a contact force?
Nutka1998 [239]
The contact force is indeed caused by "Contact". 

Air resistance is basically a type of friction, which is apparently present providing two object contact.

The rest selections are all interaction force, which is not necessarily caused by contact.

The binding energies of K-shell and L-shell electrons in a certain metal are EK and EL, respectively, If a Kαx ray from this met
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The separation distance between the parallel planes of an atom is hc/2sinθ(EK - EL)

Explanation:

The relationship between energy and wavelength is expressed below:

E = hc/λ

λ = hc/EK - EL

Considering the condition of Bragg's law:

2dsinθ = mλ

For the first order Bragg's law of reflection:

2dsinθ = (1)λ

2dsinθ = hc/EK - EL

d = hc/2sinθ(EK - EL)

Where 'd' is the separation distance between the parallel planes of an atom, 'h' is the Planck's constant, 'c' is the velocity of light, θ is the angle of reflection, 'EK' is the energy of the K shell and 'EL' is the energy of the K shell.

Therefore, the separation distance between the parallel planes of an atom is hc/2sinθ(EK - EL)

shtirl [24]
Newton's second law says that the acceleration of an object is produced by the force exerted on it.
Having this in mind, if you hit a baseball with a bat it will <u>accelerate according to the applied force.</u>
