Concept explainers
ToExplain:The importance of asking right questions rather than the answers.
Explanation of Solution
It has been said for long that if a person is asking more questions, he is dumb or slow to understand concepts but in science, it is always encouraged to ask the right questions. The beauty of science lies not in finding the exact answers but in asking the most general and relevant questions.
“Why is the color of sky blue?” or “What is light?” these seem to be pretty obvious questions but in science, they ignite a whole chain reaction of questions. One simple question as “What is light?” can lead to enormous number of questions requiring years of experiments and interpretations. The presence of gravity was so obvious but one single question “Why do the things fall downward?” led to whole new dimensions in the scientific world.
In science, it is always encouraged to ask right questions, asking the questions is not considered a sign of weakness but a sign of beautiful mind. It is advisable that while answering a question, the art of asking right questions is also taught.
Conclusion:
Therefore, in science, asking the good questions is more important than finding the answers to those questions.

- An ideal gas in a sealed container starts out at a pressure of 8900 N/m2 and a volume of 5.7 m3. If the gas expands to a volume of 6.3 m3 while the pressure is held constant (still at 8900 N/m2), how much work is done by the gas? Give your answer as the number of Joules.arrow_forwardThe outside temperature is 25 °C. A heat engine operates in the environment (Tc = 25 °C) at 50% efficiency. How hot does it need to get the high temperature up to in Celsius?arrow_forwardGas is compressed in a cylinder creating 31 Joules of work on the gas during the isothermal process. How much heat flows from the gas into the cylinder in Joules?arrow_forward
