I was reading an old thermodynamics textbook and came across this equation describing change in internal energy. What does the (dU/dT)V and (dU/dV)T mean? I think it’s partial derivatives, but I’ve never seen a derivative sub (something). Please help

The de broglie relation λ=h/p can be rewritten in terms of the wave number k as p=kℏ. recall that wave number is defined by k=2π/λ. using the fact that λ=v/f, find the wave numbers k1 and k2 corresponding to frequencies f1 and f2. express your answer as two expressions

Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at 20â°c throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27â°c and 14â°c in the summer and winter, respectively. the exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32â°c throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. the coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 w/m2 â‹…â‹… k. what is the ratio of the thermal resistance due to convection to the thermal resistance due to radiation in the summer? what is the ratio of thermal resistances in the winter

Tafari worked one summer on a ship that set weather buoys in the ocean. he watched how one of the buoys moved in the water. describe which parts of the wave would cause the buoy to bob up and down. which wave property determined how fast the buoys bobbed in the water? he observed that when the wind blew harder, the ocean waves were larger, and the buoys moved away from the ship. what effect, if any, did the waves have on how far the buoys moved? explain your answer.
