A 0.500-mol sample of an ideal monatomic gas at 400 kPa and 300 K, expands quasi-statically until the pressure decreases to 160 kPa. Find the final temperature and volume of the gas, the work done by the gas, and the heat absorbed by the gas if the expansion is (a) isothermal, and (b) adiabatic.

the closer the planet is to the sun, the larger the gravity

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
