Using the simplified energy balance in Equation 1, suppose there is heat transfer of 40.00 J to a system, while the system does 10.00 J of work. Later, there is heat transfer of 25.00 J out of the system while 4.00 J of work is done on the system. What is the net change in internal energy of the system?
You pour a litre (1 kg) of 25.0˚C water into a 0.500 kg aluminium pan off the stove, but has previously been heated so it starts with a temperature of 120˚C. What is the temperature when the water and the pan reach thermal equilibrium (i.e., what is the temperature of both objects when they reach the same temperature)? Assume that the pan is placed on an insulated pad and a negligible amount of water boils off.
A golf club hits a golf ball and the golf ball’s flight reaches a maximum height of 5.48 m. Calculate the momentum of the golf ball at the maximum height if the mass of the golf ball is 0.459 kg.
