- 1. In general, the internal energy U depends on both temperature and volume, U=U(TV). The volume dependence comes from the potential energy due to the interactions among the particles. For free particles, there are no interactions, thus, the internal energy U should be independent of the volume, i.e., = 0. Verify this result for ideal gas pV = RT. au avarrow_forwardis a mass hanging by a spring under the influence of gravity. The force due to gravity, Fg, is acting in the negative-y direction. The dynamic variable is y. On the left, the system is shown without spring deflection. On the right, at the beginning of an experiment, the mass is pushed upward (positive-y direction) by an amount y₁. The gravitational constant g, is 9.81 m/s².

Students hold on to one end of the wire, then whirl the ball around in circles and count the number of rotations per second. One group finds these numbers: ball mass= 320 gram, wire length= 1.3m, number of rotations/sec=2.5. The wire is made of steel with a diameter of 1mm and a Young's modulus of 20x10^10 N/m^2.How much does the wire stretch due to the tension on it? Should the students correct their data for the wire stretching?arrow_forward

You pulled the 100-gram mass 6 cm from its equilibrium position and let it go at t = 0. Find an equation for the position of the mass as a function of time t. 2. The scale of a spring balance found in an old Physics lab reads from 0 to 15.0 kg is 12.0 cm long.
