The internal energy of a gas is \(500 .\) J. The gas is compressed adiabatically, and its volume decreases by \(100 . \mathrm{cm}^{3} .\) If the pressure applied on the gas during compression is \(3.00 \mathrm{~atm},\) what is the internal energy of the gas after the adiabatic compression?
In which type of process is no work done on a gas? a) isothermal b) isochoric c) isobaric d) none of the above
A \(100 .\) mm by \(100 .\) mm by 5.00 mm block of ice at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is placed on its flat face on a 10.0 -mm-thick metal disk that covers a pot of boiling water at normal atmospheric pressure. The time needed for the entire ice block to melt is measured to be \(0.400 \mathrm{~s} .\) The density of ice is \(920 . \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} .\) Use the data in Table 18.3 to determine the metal the disk is most likely made of
You are going to lift an elephant (mass \(\left.=5.0 \cdot 10^{3} \mathrm{~kg}\right)\) over your head \((2.0 \mathrm{~m}\) vertical displacement). a) Calculate the work required to do this. You will lift the elephant slowly (no tossing of the elephant allowed!). If you want, you can use a pulley system. (As you saw in Chapter \(5,\) this does not change the energy required to lift the elephant, but it definitely reduces the force required to do so.) b) How many doughnuts ( 250 food calories each) must you metabolize to supply the energy for this feat?
Arthur Clarke wrote an interesting short story called "A Slight Case of Sunstroke." Disgruntled football fans came to the stadium one day equipped with mirrors and were ready to barbecue the referee if he favored one team over the other. Imagine the referee to be a cylinder filled with water of mass \(60.0 \mathrm{~kg}\) at \(35.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Also imagine that this cylinder absorbs all the light reflected on it from 50,000 mirrors. If the heat capacity of water is \(4.20 \cdot 10^{3} \mathrm{~J} /\left(\mathrm{kg}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right),\) how long will it take to raise the temperature of the water to \(100 .{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ? Assume that the Sun gives out \(1.00 \cdot 10^{3} \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{2},\) the dimensions of each mirror are \(25.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) by \(25.0 \mathrm{~cm},\) and the mirrors are held at an angle of \(45.0^{\circ}\)
