Physics 10 - Lecture 02: Atoms and Heat II

Physics 10: Physics for Future Presidents. Spring 2006. Professor Richard A. Muller. The most interesting and important topics in physics, stressing conceptual understanding rather than math, with applications to current events. Topics covered may vary and may include energy and conservation, radioactivity, nuclear physics, the Theory of Relativity, lasers, explosions, earthquakes, superconductors, and quantum physics.

I think he was great, actually. The anecdotes are often what makes a course more enjoyable in my opinion.

You must have missed it when he said "~about", he was rounding( he even drew it on the board). Or did he mention somewhere that it "=equals", that I missed?

Amazing teacher, he sure knows what he is saying. I'm tuning to all his lectures, it would be sad to miss!

thanks!

Heated atoms gain energy and move around more to fill a volume, thus the area they use up expands. When gas is pressurized it is full of energy and heats up because of all of the collisions between energized gas particles, but eventually that heat dissipates and you're left with just the potential energy in the pressurized gas. When that pressure is released those particles are no longer bouncing against each other so much, and so they begin to cool down.

Loses time* ;) Learn to correct yourself sir/ma'am.
