(a)
Whether it is possible for heat to flow into the system if the temperature of the system is fixed and explain the same and specify the example of this process.
(a)

Answer to Problem 1CQ
Explanation of Solution
The formula to calculate the amount of heat is,
Here,
At constant temperature the change in the internal energy of the system is zero but when there is isothermal expansion the work is done by the system is positive work. The net work done by the system is having a positive value due to which the total heat have a positive value that is the heat flows into the system. The example of such an instance is the isothermal expansion of the gas.
Conclusion
Therefore, it is possible to have a substance of a fixed temperature in which the heat flows into the system and the example of this process is isothermal expansion.
(b)
Whether it is possible for heat to flow out of the system if the temperature of the system is fixed and explain the same and specify the example of this process.
(b)

Answer to Problem 1CQ
Explanation of Solution
The formula to calculate the amount of heat is,
At constant temperature the change in the internal energy of the system is zero but when there is isothermal compression the work is done on the system in a negative direction. The net work done by the system is having a negative value due to which the total heat have a negative value that is the heat flows out of the system. The example of such an instance is the isothermal compression of the gas.
Conclusion
Therefore, it is possible to have a substance of a fixed temperature in which the heat flows out of the system and example of this process isothermal compression.

- Consider a uniformly charged ring of radius R with total charge Q, centered at the origin inthe xy-plane. Find the electric field (as a vector) at a point on the z-axis at a distance z above thecenter of the ring. Assume the charge density is constant along the ring.arrow_forward3) If the slider block C is moving at 3m/s, determine the angular velocity of BC and the crank AB at the instant shown.

A motorboat traveling 6 m/s, West encounters a water current travelling 3.5 m/s, South. a) Draw a vector diagram showing the resultant velocity, then determine the resultant velocity of the motorboat. b) If the width of the river is 112 m wide, then how much time does it take for the boat to travel shore to shore? c) What distance downstream does the boat reach the opposite shore?arrow_forwardLake Erie contains roughly 4.00⋅10114.00⋅1011 m3 of water. Assume the density of this water is 1000. kg/m3 and the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg˚C. It takes 2.31x10^19 J of energy to raise the temperature of that volume of water from 12.0 °C to 25.8 ˚C. An electric power plant can produce about 1110 MW. How many years would it take to supply this amount of energy by using the 1110 MW from an electric power plant?arrow_forward
