A piston/cylinder assembly in a car contains 12 in3 of air at 13 lbf/in2 and 68 F. The air is compressed in a polytropic process with exponent n = 1.25 to a final volume six times smaller. Determine the final pressure and temperature, and the heat transfer of the process

What is a subatomic particle with a negative charge and very little mass?

Two conductors, a and b, are each in the shape of a tetrahedron. but of different sizes. they are charged in the following manner: 1. tetrahedron a is charged from an electrostatic generator to charge q. 2. tetrahedron a is briefly touched to tetrahedron b. 3. steps 1 and 2 are repeated until the charge on tetrahedron b reaches a maximum value. if the charge on tetrahedron b was q/4 after the first time it touched tetrahedron a. what is the final charge qbmax on tetrahedron b?

Daughter element the new element produced along with a decay particle in a nuclear transmutation 2. half-life the substance that decays in a nuclear transmutation 3. parent element the change of one chemical element into another by nuclear decay or radioactive bombardment 4. transmutation the time required for the decay of one-half of the atoms in a sample of radioactive material
