You would need to find the National ES and ask him yourself. Each ES is different.

Have they released any info of who the National ES is going to be?

[TheChiScientist]

Tbh not that I am aware of. I would PM Unome as he is more aware of this kind of stuff.

Maybe also PM chalker. He is a nat'l supervisor and he's on the physics commitee.

HI guys! I just got the BDJH regional test, and looking at the one for C division I just can't figure out how to solve this.
1.)You have a piston filled with 8 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a temperature of 278 K. It is completely insulated (meaning that there is no heat transfer between the walls of the piston) and it is at rest in a vacuum. The piston has a diameter of 25 cm and has a mass of 4.5 kg. You then apply 50 N of force to the top of the piston.

a. (8 points) Determine the change in temperature of the gas:

Answer:98K Does anyone know what formula they used, and how they used it; Ideal gas law doesn't work with both volume and temperature changing after compression.

Hint: Adiabatic processes are polytropic.

Actually though, how do you solve that?

PV=nRT and U=3/2nRT

The temperature raising because of both V and work (forceXdistance).

[Alex-RCHS]

PV=nRT and U=3/2nRT

I'm afraid I still don't understand. How do you find U? I could see doing force times distance but I don't see any way to find the distance over which the force acts (the amount the piston descends).

And as for the ideal gas law, you don't know what V would be, right?

I did not check the calculation and units. Here is an idea:

Piston area: A=3.14 * 0.125 * 0.125 = 0.0491 (m*m)

Initial:
P0=4.5X9.8/A=898.2 N/(m*m)

V0=n*R*T0/P0=8 * 8.314459 * 278 / 898.2 = 20.59 (m*m*m)

h0 = V0 / A = 419.3m

U0=3/2 * R * T0 * 8 = 27737

======
After apply force of 50N

P2=(4.5X9.8 + 50)/A= 1916.5


U2 = 3 /2 * R * 8 * T2

U2 = U0 + (4.5X9.8 + 50) * LLLL
LLLL is the distance the piston moved.

First equation
3/2 * 8.31446 * 8 * T2 = 27737 + 94.1 * LLLL


======
P2 X (h0-LLLL)*A=8* R * T2


Second equation
1916.5*(419.3-LLLL)*0.0491= 8 * 8.31446 * T2



(1)
LLLL = 1.060 * T - 294.76


(2)
LLLL = 419.3 - 0.7069 * T


T= 404K
