Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.77PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The stiffness of bicycle frame made from new material should be compared to the stiffness of an aluminum frame.
Concept introduction:
The stiffness of any material depends on its elasticity. Elasticity is a property of any material through which it can be stretched from its regular shape or can become flexible.
Any matter resumes its size after stretching through the help of its elasticity. The elasticity is different for different matters.
The stiffness of any material is measured in modulus which is the ratio of stress to the strain for the material as:
Higher the modulus more will be the stiffness of the material.

500 J of heat energy was absorbed from the sorroundings and the gas expanded from 30 L to 70 L against a constant pressure of 2.8 atm. Calculate the change in internal energy in joules.
2) An insulated container is used to hold 50.0 g of water at 25.0 °C. A sample of a new alloy
weighing 25.0 g is placed in a dry test tube and heated to a temperature of 250.0°C. The
heated test tube is carefully removed with laboratory tongs and inclined so that the alloy
slides into the water in the insulated container. The temperature of the water is measured
and reaches a maximum of 56.2 °C. What is the specific heat capacity of this new alloy?
Jiffy popcorn is made on a stovetop and has a metal handle. After a while the metal handle becomes slightly warm because metals are great conductors. Which type of heat transfer represents Jiffy popcorn?
