3Question 3.
What does the First Law of Thermodynamics imply?
- Energy can be created
- Energy can only change forms
- Energy is always lost
Show hintHide hint
Look beyond the surface; think about energy in different contexts.
4Question 4.
True or False: Internal energy can remain constant if a system does work.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the relationships between work and energy.
Question 5.
A gas system in a cylinder absorbs 600 J of heat and performs 250 J of work on the environment. Calculate the change in internal energy and interpret the result.
Show hintHide hint
Pay attention to the signs! Remember how heat input and work output affect internal energy.
Question 6.
If a heat engine consumes 15,000 J of heat and converts only 4,000 J into work, calculate the efficiency and discuss what this implies about its performance.
Show hintHide hint
Revisit the efficiency formula; it's all about understanding energy use.
