If a total mass of 11.5 kg falls 1.3 m and all of the mechanical energy is converted to internal energy, by how much will the internal energy of the water increase? (Assume no energy is transferred as heat out of the vessel to the surroundings or from the surroundings to the vessel's interior.)arrow_forward
- The first law of thermodynamics relates the heat transfer into or out of a system to the change of internal and the work done on the system. How much heat, in joules, is transferred into a system when its internal energy decreases by 165 J while it was performing 27.5 J of work?arrow_forwardA hot air balloon is being inflated to its full extent by heating the air inside it. In the final stages of this process, the volume of the balloon changes from 4.00 x 10^6 L to 4.2 x 10^6 L by the addition of 1.3 x 10^8 J of energy as heat. Assuming that the balloon expands against a constant pressure of 1.0 atm, how much work does the balloon perform?arrow_forwardA system undergoes a two-step process. In the first step, the internal energy of the system increases by 229 J when 166 J of work is done on the system. In the second step, the internal energy of the system increases by 115 J when 169 J of work is done on the system. For the overall process, fine the heat added to the system (including sign).arrow_forward

She then performs multiple repetitions on the bench press and does 2.75 x 105 J of work. After her workout, her net change in internal energy is +1.50 × 105 J. During her workout, she loses heat to the environment, which results in the vaporization of perspiration from the surface of her skin. What mass of water did she lose due to perspiration?

Number Unitsarrow_forwardA heat pump is a heating system that has an efficiency of about 150 %, that is,for every joule (J) the electrical energy consumed, 1.5 J of heat is produced. Yet according to the law from energy conservation, the energy efficiency of a device should never come into over 100%, since energy cannot be created or destroyed. So there is thermal energy that is transferred from the outside to the inside of the house. Explain why this phenomenon remains possible, even under 0 °C.arrow_forward
