The law is P = mAT
where R is the gas constant.

Stronger surface tension leads to higher capillary rise. Absolute pressures are frequently negative. If the pressure of fluid drops below the vapor pressure of that fluid at that temperature, the fluid will cavitate. F F T F F Density can be measured in lb;/ft° in the English system of units. For a hydrostatic incompressible fluid, pressure is independent of depth. A fluid with a high bulk modulus of elasticity is more difficult to compress than one with a low bulk modulus of elasticity. Viscosity is caused, in part, by the surface tension within a fluid. A fluid can resist an applied shear stress by deforming.

- 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_forwardSome scientists believe that the collision of one or more large asteroids with the Earth was responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. The unit of kiloton is used to describe the energy released during large explosions. It was originally defined as the explosive capability of 1000 tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT) high explosive. Because that expression can be imprecise depending on the explosive's exact chemical composition, the kiloton subsequently has been redefined as the equivalent of 4.186 x 1012 J. In the units of kiloton, calculate the kinetic energy of an asteroid that has the size (box-shaped, 13 x 13 x 25 km) and composition (density, 2.4 g/cm) of an asteroid. Kinetic energy is defined by U. = mv? where m is the object's mass and v is its speed. Objects passing through the inner solar system generally have speeds in the range of 20 km/s.
