A moonshiner makes the error of filling a glass jar to the brim and capping it tightly. The moonshine expands more than the glass when it warms up, in such a way that the volume increases by 0.5% (that is, ΔV/V0 = 5 10-3) relative to the space available.

- Could you please explain how to do this? I'm not sure how to use the slope (-18 Vm) to solve the problem. Thanks!arrow_forwardGeneral Relativity Consider a spherical blackbody of constant temperature and mass M whose surface lies at radial coordinate r = R. An observer located at the surface of the sphere and a distant observer both measure the blackbody radiation given off by the sphere.Both observers use Wien's law, the below equation, to determine the blackbody's temperature. Show that 2GM T = T/1 Rc2arrow_forwardAn ideal monatomic gas is used in a heat engine and is taken around the cycle shown on the PV diagram of the figure. In part C of the cycle, the gas experiences adiabatic expansion such that it obeys the relation pVY = constant, where y = 2, and f is the number of degrees of freedom of the molecules. Hint: you DO NOT need to know the number of molecules to solve this problem. 1. Find the pressure P2. 2. Compute the work done on the gas, the change in the internal energy, and the heat added to the gas in step A. 3.

- A particle has γ=15,687. Calculate c-v in m/s. (I would have asked for 1 - v/c, making the answer dimensionless, but the system doesn't seem to take numbers that small. Gamma is chosen to make the particle extremely close to the speed of light.) If your calculator gives problems, you might want to solve the appropriate equation for c-v or c(1 - v/c) and use an approximation.arrow_forwardThe Earth is spherical in shape and can be considered to be a perfect black body radiator at a temperature of 53°C. Radius of Earth is 6350 km. (consider: Stefan's constant o = 5.67 x 10 W/m?T4) 8 Calculate the total power radiated from the Earth in Wattsarrow_forwardThe escape velocity from a massive object is the speed needed to reach an infinite distance from it and have just slowed to a stop, that is, to have just enough kinetic energy to climb out of the gravitational potential well and have none left. You can find the escape velocity by equating the total kinetic and gravitational potential energy to zero E=12mv2esc−GmM/r=0E=12mvesc2−GmM/r=0 vesc=2GM/r−−−−−−√vesc=2GM/r where GG is Newton's constant of gravitation, MM is the mass of the object from which the escape is happening, and rr is its radius. This is physics you have seen in the first part of the course, and you should be able to use it to find an escape velocity from any planet or satellite. For the Earth, for example the escape velocity is about 11.2 km/s, and for the Moon it is 2.38 km/s. A very important point about escape velocity: it does not depend on what is escaping. A spaceship or a molecule must have this velocity or more away from the center of the planet to be free…arrow_forward

Assume that the properties of a black hole depend only on the mass of the black hole. (a) One characteristic of a black hole is the area of its event horizon. Roughly speaking, the event horizon is the boundary of the black hole. Inside this boundary, the gravity is so strong that even light cannot emerge from the region enclosed by the boundary. We shall write A = G°c®m°. Use dimensional analysis to find a, ß , and y. (b) One quantities in thermodynamics is entropy (S), that measure the disorder of a system. The relationship between entropy S, energy E and temperature 0 of a system is given as follow: = . For black holes, Bekenstein propose that the entropy is proportional the area of the black hole's event horizon S = nA, where n depends on c, k, G and h. Using dimensional analysis determine 7.

Given the dimensions of the motor region of a kinesin dimer of approximately 80 Å, calculate its speed in “body lengths” per second. To what speed does this body-length speed correspond for an automobile that is 10 feet long?arrow_forwardA spacecraft is in a 300 km circular parking orbit. It is desired to increase the altitude to 600 km and change the inclination by 20°. Find the total ΔV required if: Part A The plane change is made after insertion into the 600 km orbit (so there is a total of three ΔV burns).arrow_forwardI Review I Constants During most of its lifetime, a star maintains an equilibrium size in which the inward force of gravity on each atom is balanced by an outward pressure force due to the heat of the nuclear reactions in the core. But after all the hydrogen "fuel" is consumed by nuclear fusion, the pressure force drops and the star undergoes a gravitational collapse until it becomes a neutron star. In a neutron star, the electrons and protons of the atoms are squeezed together by gravity until they fuse into neutrons. Neutron stars spin very rapidly and emit intense pulses of radio and light waves, one pulse per rotation. These "pulsing stars" were discovered in the 1960s and are called pulsars. Part A = 2.0 x 1030 kg) and size (R 3.5 x 10° m) of our sun rotates once every 35.0 days. After undergoing gravitational collapse, A star with the mass (M the star forms a pulsar that is observed by astronomers to emit radio pulses every 0.100 s. By treating the neutron star as a solid sphere,…arrow_forward
