A college student is working on her physics homework in her dorm room. Her room contains a total of 6.0×1026 gas molecules. As she works, her body is converting chemical energy into thermal energy at a rate of 125 W. If her dorm room were an isolated system (dorm rooms can certainly feel like that) and if all of this thermal energy were transferred to the air in the room, by how much would the temperature increase in 17 min? Use the ideal gas model. Express your answer in degrees Celsius.

For a planet to have an atmosphere, gravity must be sufficient to keep the gas from escaping The escape speed a particle needs to escape the earth's gravitational attraction is 1.1 x 10 m/s. The motion of projectiles never depends on mass, so this escape speed applies equally to rockets and to molecules in the earth's upper atmosphere.

A gas expands from I to F in the figure below. The energy added to the gas by heat is 212 J when the gas goes from I to F along the diagonal path. Three paths are plotted on a PV diagram, which has a horizontal axis labeled V (liters), and a vertical axis labeled P (atm). The green path starts at point I (2,4), extends vertically down to point B (2,1), then extends horizontally to point F (4,1). The blue path starts at point I (2,4), and extends down and to the right to end at point F (4,1). The orange path starts at point I (2,4), extends horizontally to the right to point A (4,4), then extends vertically down to end at point F (4,1).

Answers (~1.9kJ, ~1.1kJ, ~4kJ) The figure to the right shows a gas contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly. A vertical shaft with a cross- sectional area of 1.0 cm² is attached to the top of the piston. The total mass of the piston and shaft is 35 kg. While the gas is slowly heated, the internal energy of the gas increases by 0.25 kJ, the potential energy of the piston-shaft combination increases by 0.5 kJ, and a force of 1300 N is exerted on the shaft as shown in the figure. The piston and cylinder are both good insulators and friction between them is negligible. The local atmospheric pressure is 1 bar and g = 9.81 m/s². Determine: 21 F-1300N (c) the heat transfer to the gas (kJ) (d) Provide a detailed accounting of where all of the heat energy has gone.
