A piston/cylinder contains 1 kg water at 20°C with volume

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

For each pair of compounds below, identify the one that would be expected to have more ionic character. Explain your choice. (a) NaBr or HBr (b) BrCl or FCl

Earth Science 13
The circumference of Earth at the equator is 24,900 miles. Calculate how fast someone at the equator is rotating in miles per hour. If the rotational speed of Earth were to slow down, how might this impact daytime highs and nighttime lows?

Soft Drink Consumption A researcher claims that the yearly consumption of soft drinks per person is 52 gallons. In a sample of 50 randomly selected people, the mean of the yearly consumption was 56.3 gallons. The standard deviation of the population is 3.5 gallons. Find the P-value for the test. On t

Compute the minimum square error for \(f(x)=x / \pi(-\pi<x<\pi)\) and trigonometric polynomials of degree \(N=1, \cdots, 5\).

Biology: The Dynamic Science 5
About 200 years ago, Jan Baptista van Helmont tried to determine the source of raw materials for plant growth. To do so, he planted a young tree weighing 5 pounds in a barrel filled with 200 pounds of soil. He watered the tree regularly. After 5 years, he again weighed the tree and the soil. At the s
