Interpretation:Whether there is an increase in the internal energy of the body takes place after exercising or not needs to be explained.
Concept introduction: When heat is absorbed by the system and work is done on the system, both q and w is positive. Since internal energy is the sum of work done and the heat, it increases under these conditions. On the other hand, if heat is released, work is done by the system, both w and q have negative values resulting decrease in the internal energy.
Answer to Problem 6.1P
At the time of exercising, heat is discharged from the body (system) and work is done by the body. Therefore, after exercising,the body is warmed because the body loses its energy.
Explanation of Solution
When heat is absorbed by the system and work is done on the system, both q and w is positive. Since, the internal energy is the sum of work done and heat, it increases under these conditions. On the other hand, if heat is released, work is done by the system, both w and q have negative values resulting decrease in the internal energy.
At the time of exercising, heat is dischargedfrom the body (system) and work is done by the body. Therefore, after exercising, the body is warmed because the body loses its energy.
At the time of exercising, heat is released from the body (system) and work is done by the body. Therefore, after exercising the body is warmed because it loses its energy.
