Chapter 21, Problem 8A
What is internal energy?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To Explain: Internal energy.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Total energy contained by matter is called internal energy due to the motion of molecules. This energy arises due to the potential and kinetic energy of molecules.
A system’s internal energy can be changed when heat is added or subtracted from the system or when work is done on the system.
Conclusion:
Thus, internal energy is total energy of a system which occurs due to kinetic and potential energy of constituent molecules.

- You are working with a team that is designing a new roller coaster-type amusement park ride for a major theme park. You are present for the testing of the ride, in which an empty 150 kg car is sent along the entire ride. Near the end of the ride, the car is at near rest at the top of a 100 m tall track. It then enters a final section, rolling down an undulating hill to ground level. The total length of track for this final section from the top to the ground is 250 m. For the first 230 m, a constant friction force of 370 N acts from computer-controlled brakes. For the last 20 m, which is horizontal at ground level, the computer increases the friction force to a value required for the speed to be reduced to zero just as the car arrives at the point on the track at which the passengers exit.
