J is the tenth letter in the basic modern Latin alphabet; it was the last of the 26 letters to be added. Its name in English (pronounced /dʒeɪ/) is spelled jay. It was formerly jy (from French ji), and still is in some dialects, mainly in Scottish English, where it is (pronounced /dʒaɪ/).

History

J was originally used as a swash character to end some Roman numerals in place of i. There was an emerging distinctive use in Middle High German. Gian Giorgio Trissino (1478-1550) was the first to explicitly distinguish I and J as representing separate sounds, in his Ɛpistola del Trissino de le lettere nuωvamente aggiunte ne la lingua italiana ("Trissino's epistle about the letters recently added in the Italian language") of 1524. Originally, both I and J represented /i/, /iː/, and /j/; but Romance languages developed new sounds (from former /j/ and /ɡ/) that came to be represented as I and J; therefore, English J (from French J) has a sound value quite different from /j/ (which represents the sound in the English word "yet").

Q. A gas absorbes 25 J of heat and 20 J of work is done on the gas. What is the change in internal energy of the gas?

A. Q = W + E(internal) The trick here is that W is the work done BY the gas. In other words, if you had no change in internal energy, adding heat would make the gas expand and do work. Instead, you're compressing the gas by doing work ON it. That means, for purposes of the equation above, W = -20 J.

How much heat was lost by a system, if its internal energy decreased by 150 J while it was doing 30 J of work?
Q. please help..need some calculations..thanks a tons.. 1.Suppose 40 J of heat flows into a system while it does 10 J of work. What is the change in internal energy? 2.How much heat was lost by a system, if its internal energy decreased by 150 J while it was doing 30 J of work?

A. 1st law of thermodynamics> dQ = dU + dW dQ = + 40 J (heat in is positive) dW = + 10 J (work done by the system) change in interbnal energy (dU) = dQ - dW = 40 - 10 = + 30 J dU = positive > increase in internal energy === 2) dQ = dU + dW dQ = ? (heat exchange) dW = + 30 J (work done by the system) change in interbnal energy (dU) = - 150 J (decreased) dQ = dU + dW = - 150 + 30 = - 120 J >>>*** corrected - dQ > means heat lost by the system> negative (dU) means cooling of system > for that heat must go out!!

J am check in on a contest to drop an egg from 15 meters and it shouldnt brake.?
Q. My device must not be heavier than 5kg. If j land the egg with out touching the ground j get 3 points. If the egg touches the ground j get 6 points. Thank you for your answers.

A. 3 pt. wrap your egg with bubble wrap as many layers you can do. 6 pt. put the egg in a closed jar full of watter (or jelly). The jar will brake but there is a good chance that the egg will not. You can try and add a parachute that will slow the fall. Make some experiments before you deliver your device.
