The container is initially empty (vacuum).
The walls are rigid, they are perfect thermal insulators, and have zero specific heat. There is also a small valve.

When the valve was open, the air rushed inside the container with a lot of hissing. After some time the pressure inside the containter became equal to atmospheric pressure on the outside.

Temperature of air in the room is 300K.
What is temperature of air inside the container?

It seems like everyone I see on TV says that it isn't possible that a door was left open, but they have no problem believing a tiger jumped over a 15 foot moat and up an 18 foot wall to kill one person, then track down the other people 300 yards away.

Maybe it was a Liger, as we all now they are bred for their skills in magic.

Suppose you find a watch in the middle of a desert. What would you conclude? Would you think that someone dropped the watch? Or would you suppose that the watch came by itself?

I am very interested in Islam and I was thinking if I can do that or do I have to become muslim first. I want to see how being muslim feels before I decide. Thank you.

I started a small business at the age of 19. I ran summer camps and did this independently for 5 years. The business went from a small seasonal business that grew. After having my first child I hired someone else to run it but quickly got bored so I opened another location. I then sold my first location and made a good buck so my current business has very minimal debt (almost none).
Fast forward to now...I am a mom of 2 kids...again someone else is running the company and is doing quite well. But I want to try something new...I've been in this daycare field now for quite some time and want to explore other options. It just feels impossible to do anything else. If I sold now I would cash in huge. If I didn't sell my business I still make a very very good income with "fring benefits" such as car, insurance, groceries, toys for my kids etc...I don't know what to do...what would you do? Sell or stick it out?

I'm looking to trade options in the near future but I have a question.
Is it possible to profit from an options contract if the stock has not hit the Break Even point yet?
i.e.
Apple -> current price is $60
1 x option contract is $15 with strike of $65
let's say the BE point is $70 here....
in about a month, assume the current price of the apple stock is $69 and the options contract purchased has gone up by $2 to $67...
could I then profit if I decide to sell the options contract back into the market and profit $200 (from the sale of the contract)??
The price is still below the BE point, but I could still profit?
thanks.

It's a hard language because it is so confusing, especially when written down. Example: The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.....Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.....What is an intresting one you can come up with?

I'm interested to be a children's book illustrator but I'm not sure where to apply for it. Currently I'm studying a non-related course which is Landscape Architecture, although both are sitll under design. I'm torn in between these two fields as both are interesting, although I think Landscape Architecture is harder and it's just not about art/design. As for the other field, I'm not sure where to start because I've never heard of such industry in where I stay (Singapore) and secondly, I dont have the related field course. Currently I do mostly ink drawings and simple photoshop artwork which I think are not good enough.

My old shoes are lovely
I carry them in a pillow case
When I feel lonely
I take them out and race

Sometimes I race against bikes
Sometimes against cars
With both of those I lose
But I always win with stars

I've heard many horror stories about health care providers making up false excuses NOT to cover expensive operations and as a result many people have died. The Ceo's of these providers receive bonuses for the more claims they turn down. Has anyone had a MAJOR opperation covered without a fight? Other countries have free healthcare. Would this solve the problem? Do you think if we end up getting that benefit too, operations would not be denied or would the Government deny them bc they are paying for them?

I am a single mom and have raised my daughter alone for the last 11 years.she is a senior in high school and will be leaving off to college next fall. All these years my life was pretty much whatever she was doing , she has always been active in band and all types of other groups in school so i was always there cheering and encouraging her. I just wonder how do parents cope with this. I would never hold her back or even tell her of the anxiety I am feeling , so i thought I would get advice from parents or single parents of how they handled their situations.
