When a gas expands against an external pressure of 0, must the stopper on the cylinder be massless?

Basically, I need to conceptually understand why the work a gas does is the integral $int p_mathrm{external}dv$ and is 0 when pressure external is 0. I understand why $mathrm{d}w =...

Does the relative speed of time mean there is less energy where time is slower?

Time runs relatively slower near a planet than in outer space. Does this mean that there is less energy near the planet? Is there a relationship between energy...

How to compute $chi_1$, a Lorentzian absorption in the following paper?

I have the following paper:https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.01213on the third page, where they take: $$chi_2(omega)= frac{-kgamma}{(omega-omega_0)^2+gamma^2},$$ I don't see how to explicitly compute $chi_1$. Can someone...

Is only fluid velocity or both fluid velocity and sound speed discontinuous at a shock?

Formation of shock waves are common phenomena in Physics. Defining the Mach number as $M=v/c_s$ , where $v$ is the fluid velocity and $c_s$ is the sound...
