You are give a system about which two things are known: the relation between pressure,
volume and temperature, and the heat capacity at constant volume (α is a constant) PV^3=αT; CV =A(V)T
Please
(a) Find the derivative of entropy with respect to volume at fixed
T
(b) Show that the coefficient A(V ) in the specific heat is independent of V
(c) Find S(T,V) in terms of the (assumed known) value S0 of the entropy at a given temperature and volume T0, V0, S0 = S(T0, V0).
(d) Find the heat capacity at constant pressure

Consider a case in which we have an Einstein solid that is neither at high or low temperature. In this case, we cannot use either the N>>q or q>>N approximation. In this case both N and q are >> 1. Derive an expression for the chemical potential then discuss how this more general result differs from and/or could correlate to the low and high temperature cases.

Choices: True or False.
If velocity is zero then acceleration must be zero too.
If speed is constant then acceleration is zero.
If velocity is constant then speed must be constant too.
If speed changes then velocity must change too.
Object slows down if it's acceleration is negative.
If speed is constant then velocity must be constant too.

A spring with force constant k = 175 N/m is attached to the ground. On top of the spring a 1.30 kg metal pan is attached. The combination could be used as a scale, but we are going to do something more interesting. We place a metal ball with mass 0.250 kg on the tray and then the tray is pushed down 0.150 m below its equilibrium point and released from rest (take this as t = 0).
a) At what time does the ball lose contact with the metal pan? Carefully consider direction and remember that ω is in rad/s.
b) How high above the equilibrium point is the pan at this time?
c) How fast is the ball moving at the time it loses contact with the pan?

A small block with mass 0.0550 kg slides in a vertical circle of radius 0.0740 m on the inside of a circular track. There is no friction between the track and the block. At the bottom of the block's path, the normal force the track exerts on the block has magnitude 3.40 N Part A What is the magnitude of the normal force that the track exerts on the block when it is at the top of its path?

4) A nucleus of radioactive radium (226Ra), initially at rest, decays into a radon nucleus (222Rn) and an alpha-particle (a 4He nucleus). If the kinetic energy of the alpha-particle is 6.72 × 10^ -13 J, what is (a) the recoil speed of the radon nucleus, and (b) its kinetic energy? The superscripts indicate, roughly, the mass of each nucleus in unified mass units (u), where 1 u = 1.66 × 10^ -27 kg.

Suppose you wanted to hang a frame imaged on the wall. The object will be hanging by two strings. Both of the strings attached are at the top of the framed imaged. The second string angel is 142 degrees (counter-clockwise from right) and the first string angel is 52 degrees (counterclockwise from right) and the tension is 48 N.
-Make a force diagram. What could be the tension in the second string?
-What must be the mass of the object hanging?

I have a practical for physics lab soon. Can you walk me through how to do the following and the equations I would need.
Measure the combined focal lengths of a two-lens combination consisting of a spherical and cylindrical lens in contact. Qualitatively compare measured and expected values.
Apparatus: An optical track with two lenses (spherical and cylindrical); a ruler; and a lamp-house with a coarse wire mesh on it. The focal length of each lens will be given to you.
Procedure:
Put the spherical lens and the cylindrical lens together on
the track as close as they can go. Put the screen on the track, at the op-
posite end from the lamp-house. Move the two-lens combination until an
appropriately sharp real image is formed. It may also be necessary to make
adjustments by rotating the cylindrical lens in its holder. Measure object
distance and image distance. Next move the screen closer to the two-lens
combination until a second appropriately sharp real image is formed. Again,
measure object distance and image distance. From the object and image
distances, calculate the focal length corresponding to each image. Then, us-
ing the focal lengths of each individual lens as given to you, calculate the
expected focal lengths of the two-lens combination. Qualitatively compare
these expected focal lengths to the ones calculated from image and object
distances.
