After you drive for a while your tires will gain some energy via friction and
heat up. If the air inside the tires absorbs 150 Joules of energy by heat, and
does 100 Joules of work by expanding and lifting your car a fraction of a
millimeter, what is the net change in the internal energy of the air inside the
tires? (Hint: Use the first law of thermodynamics)
100 Joules
50 Joules
250 Joules
150 Joules
The ground temperature a few meters below the surface is fairly constant throughout the year and is near the average value of the air temperature. In areas in which the air temperature drops very low in the winter, the exterior unit of a heat pump designed for heating is sometimes buried underground in order to use the earth as a thermal reservoir. Why is it worthwhile to bury the heat exchanger, even if the underground unit costs more to purchaseand install than one above ground?
How much work is done when 10 ft3 of an air is initially at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 0oC experience an increase of pressure to 6 atm in a closed and rigid cylinder?
