A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 15.5

An Introduction to Thermal Physics 1
Problem 35P According to the Sackur-Tetrode equation, the entropy of a monatomic ideal gas can become negative when its temperature (and hence its energy) is sufficiently low. Of course this is absurd, so the Sackur-Tetrode equation must be invalid at very low temperatures. Suppose you start with a s

Darlene is a stunt motorcyclist in a traveling circus. For the climax of her show, she takes off from the ramp at angle _0, clears a ditch of width L, and lands on an elevated ramp (height h) on the other side (Figure 3-42). (a) For a given height h, find the minimum necessary takeoff speed vmin nee

Suppose that the lifetime of a certain type of lamp has an exponential distribution for which the value of the parameter is unknown. A random sample of n lamps of this type are tested for a period of T hours and the number X of lamps that fail during this period is observed, but the times at which t
