Chapter 6, Problem 89E
A metal ball is barely able to past through a metal ring. When Anette Zetterberg heats the ball, it does not pass through the ring. What happens if she instead heats the ring (as shown)? Does the size of the hole increase, stay the same, or decrease?

An ideal gas is confined within a thermally isolated cylinder. It consists of N atoms initially at a pressure of p0. A movable piston seals the right end of the cylinder, as shown in the figure. (Figure 1)A given amount of heat Q is slowly added to the gas, while the piston allows the gas to expand in such a way that the gas's temperature remains constant at T0.
A) As heat is added, the pressure in this gas __________.
increases
decreases
remains constant
cannot be determined
B) Is the internal energy of the gas the same before and after Q is added?
yes
no
C) Does the second law of thermodynamics forbid converting all of the absorbed heat Q into work done by the piston?
yes
no
D) The (Kelvin-Planck statement of the) second law of thermodynamics reads as follows:It is impossible for an engine working in a cycle to produce no other effect than that of extracting heat from a reservoir and performing an equivalent amount of work.The phrase "in a…
What is the role of “loose” electrons in heat conductors?
(A) Loose electrons move quickly away from hot locations, making it impossible for energy to move and making the object a good insulator.
(B) Loose electrons absorb energy, giving materials a high specific heat capacity.
(C) Loose electrons vibrate and emit radiation that carries energy through the material at the speed of light.
(D) Loose electrons transfer energy rapidly through a solid.
