thermal physics Flashcards
define temperature
Average kinetic energy of its molecules
state Boyles law
For a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume
state Charles law
for a fixed mass of gas at a constant pressure the volume is proportional to the temperature in kelvin
V∝T
state pressure law
For a fixed mass of gas at a constant volume the pressure is proportional to the the temperature in kelvin
P∝T
what is an ideal gas
a gas which obeys Boyles law at all temperatures
what is absolute zero
when kinetic energy of all molecules is zero
specific heat capacity
the heat energy require to cause a temperature increase of 1k of a 1kg block of the material
formula for boyles law
P1V1=P2V2
Charles law formula
V1/T1=V2/T2
Pressure law formula
P1/T1=P2/T2
ideal gas formula for moles
PV=nRT
ideal gas equation for molecules of gas
PV=NKT
Formula for average kinetic energy
KE=3/2 KT=1/2 m⟨c^2 ⟩
Specific heat capacity formula
Q=mcΔθ
