@lectures by walter lewin Sir, I can't exactly figure out what we mean by temperature, i suppose the magnitude of jiggling of atoms of a substance at macroscopic level is sensed as temperature and the same jiggling atoms when they pound against a wall the averaged momentum transfer is felt by us as pressure my question is most knowledgeable people wright in books , we can't achieve 0K thermodynamic temperature as it's impossible to seize the motion of atoms completely. Well i have a way around it in this big intersteller space let's assume there is a place where no radiation is present yet then why zero kelvin can't be present there there we don't have to deal with seizing of atomic motion as we are no longer dealing with atoms or matter , so is it that in space 0K is possible but matter can't be manipulated to completely loose it's motion then 0K is observable thing and not a impossible scene .

Why we join 2 points to straight line .. is it experimentally determined that linearly expansion of metal with temp or what .?

If the material is uniform, then, the volume will change with temperature but not the shape. Thus the expansion between any 2 random points will be linear. use google

[@pulkitraju5374]

thermal expansion on heating basically occurs because of the due rise in temperature results in increased amplitude of oscillations between atoms of a material so the average sepration between them increases. My question is that in most textbooks rod is shown to expand only in one way, while in reality, it should expand on both ends in opposite directions?

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

rods expand in all directions, if the length is 1 m and if the extension is 0'.1% then the rod expands by 1 mm. If the radius is 5 mm, then it expands by 0,005 mm which is 5 microns

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

my answer was wrong. there is no capillary action between mercury and glass. Here is the correct answer which I found online. "A thermometer tube interior cross-section is quite small … usually about 1/8 inch or less (the curvature of the glass has a magnifying effect, making the mercury column seem bigger than it actually is). Mercury does not react or even adhere (“cling”) to glass. The mercury column holds itself together by surface tension. However, if the glass tube is wide enough that the weight of the mercury is greater than the retaining effect of the surface tension, then the mercury will flow downwards abruptly. And remember the old-style hospital thermometers: it took several very brisk shakes of the inverted thermometer to force the very thin column of mercury back down into the "

If we make a hole of this shape on an aluminium sheet (2D), will the areal expansion cause the material to move into the hole or away from the hole? Will the convexity of the material affect the direction of expansion?

If its concavity is high, then there wont be enough area for expansion resulting in bursting. Similar to wine glass which is highly concave will burst if heated too much.

Temperature was defined such that it depended linearly on change in length of the mercury column. So that is how it was defined. We measure the change in length of mercury as it goes from 0°-100°C and divide it into 100 equal lengths, each corresponding to a particular temparature. So why is it that for all materials, one degree change in temperature corresponds to same change in length (for a material of given length)?

Ice contracts the instant it freezes solid, and continues contracting all the way to absolute zero. The relation is not linear, and it contracts less per unit temperature the colder it gets. The highest rate of contraction happens right at 0 Celsius just after it froze. It does not become denser than water, given a pressure of 1 atmosphere.

President Ford created a board to coordinate the transition of the United States to SI, but the board was abolished and all the progress halted by Reagan even though the law is still on the books that says we should be transitioning.

I have a question. Assume that we have some mercury of V0 volume at temperature T. I increase T by an amount of dT. At T+dT, I have V1 = V0 + dV, where dV = V0*beta*dT (Eq. 1). Now I decrease the temperature from T+dT to T, I have V0 = V1 + dV, where dV = V1*beta*(-dT) (Eq.2). Now, I take the absolute value of dV, then I have dV = V0*beta*dT = V1*beta*dT. However, V0 is not equal to V1. I should be wrong somewhere!!! The only way I can explain it to myself is that beta depends on the temperature.

[@ThePiotrekpecet]

I know its too late but if anyone else is interested (and since this is actually a good conceptual question) the assertion that change in volume when heating is equal to negative change in volume when cooling is wrong. If you think about it it's like with railways thing that was presented here they bent on a scorching day and stayed bent on cooler days the linear expansion wasn't equal in both directions.

@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 Sir like you did in your last lecture ? :)

[@iaexo]

38:50 Oral - Not to be confused

[@matheusvivan3434]

Sup Walter. You like Formula 1?

[@hamzasharif855]

How much math is required if someone wants to completely understand all of his lectures?

[@aaronk8297]

Just up to calc II, but if you're in a rush, learn the basics of Derivatives, Differential Equations (1st and 2nd order), Integration, and Taylor Series.

What is difference between heat and energy??

[@carultch]

Energy is anything measured in Joules, that is a capacity to do work. Could be thermal energy, heat, work, kinetic energy, strain energy, chemical energy, etc. Heat is one particular form of energy, that is a thermal transfer of energy from a hot object to a cold object. The result is that one object gains internal thermal energy, and the other object looses internal thermal energy. "Internal thermal energy" refers to the molecular level kinetic energy within the objects, which could come in the form of translation, rotation, vibration, and in metals, the unorganized motion of the conducting electrons. This is why different materials have different specific heat capacities.

[@tobiramasenju7530]

Heat is the way energy tranfers from a hot to a cold object, the other way energy acts on matter is by doing work

[@kajalthakur7144]

sir,at last you explain the special character of water...and u gave some examples...about skating...fishes ...i didn't understand it clearly...can you please explain it to me again

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

how many minutes into the lecture?

[@kajalthakur7144]

sir,it's from 45:44 to 49

[@kajalthakur7144]

ok thank you sir...

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

Water is very special indeed. Ice at 0 C has a larger volume than water at 0 C, that's why it floats and that why we can skate. I watched and listened to what I said. I cannot add to it. Please use Google if you want to know more details.

[@kajalthakur7144]

thank you very much sir...

Fruit is to make sure your attention is on the lesson. If your paying attention you won’t see fruit.

Leuk om dit weer te zien ! 1973

[@Explorinity]

20:56 I found the answer to be 1mm. The formula that I used is R = 2d(1+α_2·∆T)/{(α_1-α_2)·∆T} and θ = l(α_1-α_2)∆T/(2d). These gives ∆h = R(1-cosθ) = 1mm. Please tell how to proceed to the correct answer.

[@unidentifieduser5346]

12:09 looks like a foot illusion caused by heat of the marker

[@gamervijay8932]

Sir can explain transmission of heat

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

there are several different ways to transfer heat - use google

[@GPCTM]

Heat will flow every time there's a difference in temperature; (No temperature difference means no heat exchange); heat will only flow - and flow it will - from higher temperature to lower temperature. (lower to higher is not possible); heat is exchanged by 3 ways: conduction; convection; radiation. Don't confuse temperature with heat. (it's like tension and current). there are an immense amount of free books available on the matter.

[@drimanbanerjee]

Love the way you hate Fahrenheit 😂

[@shadowvector4379]

👍👍

[@ashwinmandan5]

And Professor also looks a little like Benedict Cumberbatch which makes him a good looking teacher

[@Rakesh-zj8bf]

Tomorrow I have mains test and I am a bit worried . I have practised physics from ur channel but don't how tomorrow will be :)

[@pramesh1318]

How did you do your exam and are you a dropper or 12th

[@habibahmed5140]

prof. there in the video why are you hang foods on your shirt sometimes melon some fried egg _?

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

I love broaches - the fried egg is the most famous one

[@AryanKumar-ic4jh]

27:49 What a terrible scale.😅😅😅

[@albertoa1484]

the lower limit of temperature is quite intuitive ... every atom is at rest i have 0°K... but what about the upper limit? is it limitless?

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

there is no upper limit, but I suggest you ask google too.

[@AbdullahSaleem1]

[@raunakjha9230]

why does he have a melon on his shirt

[@non-inertialobserver946]

Why not?

[@turbopotato4575]

Why is he wearing a melon on his chest?

[@jahanvisogun1558]

That's a badge first of all and why shouldn't he?
