You know from your math courses that an infinitesimal segment of a
circular arc can be considered as a straight line segment. Imagine that you
cover a full circle in, say, the clockwise direction, with infinitesimal
displacement vectors dr. Then evaluate fdr and fdr (the circle symbol on
the integral just reminds us that we have to go around the full circle).
When 1.00 g of water at 100˚C changes from the liquid to the gas phase at atmospheric pressure, its change in volume is: 1.67 x 10^-3
How much heat is added to vaporize the water?
How much work is done by the water against the atmosphere in expansion?
What is the change in the internal energy of the water?
1 m3 of pure water is heated from 10˚C to 120˚C at a constant pressure of 1 atm. The volume of the water is contained, but allowed to expand as needed remaining at 1 atm. Calculate the change in enthalpy of the water. You are provided with the following information at the conditions of 1 atm:
The density of pure water between 10˚C and 100˚C: 1000kh/m^3
The heat capacity of water: 4.18 kj/kgK
Enthalpy required to convert liquid water to gas (enthalpy of vaporization): 2260 kj/kg
The heat capacity of steam: 1.7kj/kgk
Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic? Why?

- To get there they need to travel through an area of salt-water, which seems to also be a magical portal, before arriving in a dry area. Judging by the time Maui and Moana spend falling through the water, it seems they dive 3440. ft deep. Assume the portal is non-magical salt-water, with a density of 1027 kg/m^3. Given that the air pressure above the portal is 1.013 ⋅10^5 Pa, what is the pressure when they are 3440. ft deep? 1 m = 3.28 ft. Moana would have a surface area of 1.30 m2.

Pushing on a File Cabinet Bob has been asked to push a heavy file cabinet down the hall to another office. It's not on rollers, so there is a lot of friction. At time t = 0 seconds, he starts pushing it from rest with increasing force until it starts to move at t = 2 seconds. He pushes the file cabinet down the hall with varying amounts of force. The velocity versus time graph of the cabinet is shown below. A. On the graphs provided below, 1. draw the net force vs. time that would produce this velocity graph; 2. draw the friction force vs. time for this motion; 3. draw the applied force (Fon Cabinet by Bob) VS. time for this motion (the first two seconds of this graph have been drawn for you).
