Im doing a balloon problem. The problem states that the volume increases linearly with pressure in the solution manual they that P2/P1=V2/V1 i think that is related linearly but i can't figure how. Can some explain?
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the relationships and conversions between heat and other forms of energy.
Mass is an important factor in thermodynamics as it is used to calculate the energy of a system. The mass of a substance can also affect its specific heat capacity and how it responds to changes in temperature.
In an open system, both matter and energy can be exchanged with the surroundings, while in a closed system, only energy can be exchanged. This means that the mass of a closed system remains constant, while an open system can have changes in mass.
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. This means that the total energy of a closed system remains constant.
Thermodynamics has many practical applications, such as in the design of engines, refrigeration systems, and power plants. It is also used in chemical reactions, weather forecasting, and even in the study of black holes.
