Gekata [30.6K]1 year ago

Internal energy of a system is the product of specific heat and temperature included with number of moles. (i=nCT) and kinetic energy is product of Boltzmann constant and temperature.

  • All systems have a certain amount of energy that can be converted into other energy to do work. The kinetic energy within the molecules and atoms that make up the body and the energy generated by the intermolecular forces between them are collectively called internal energy.
  • In other words, the energy hidden in the system that can appear under different conditions can be called the internal energy of the system.

Internal energy is the sum of two energies:

(a) Thermal energy, which is the kinetic energy of molecules in random motion, and

(b) Potential energy of atoms.

  • Potential atomic energy arises from the atomic forces acting between the atoms of molecules and the intermolecular forces between molecules.
  • Total internal energy, E = kinetic energy (K.E.) + potential energy (P.E.).
  • The state function describes the equilibrium state of the system, as well as the system itself.
  • It is called the state function because the internal energy U is defined by the quantity that determines the state of the system at equilibrium. It is completely determined by the initial and final state of the system.
  • As the temperature of the system increases, the molecules move faster, resulting in an increase in kinetic energy and an increase in internal energy.

A sample of helium behaves as an ideal gas as energy is
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

0.0321 g

Explanation:

Let helium specific heat c_h = 5.193 J/g K

Assuming no energy is lost in the process, by the law of energy conservation we can state that the 20J work done is from the heat transfer to heat it up from 273K to 393K, which is a difference of ΔT = 393 - 273 = 120 K. We have the following heat transfer equation:

E_h = m_hc_h \Delta T = 20 J

where m_h is the mass of helium, which we are looking for:

m_h = \frac{20}{c_h \Delta T} = \frac{20}{5.193 * 120} \approx 0.0321 g

Which statement correctly describes the motion of water particles due to the action of waves?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

C True.  they rise and fall in a circular motion

Explanation:

The movement of water waves in the sea is described by a simple harmonic movement where the water droplets, which are the material particles of the movement oscillate up and down and the wave that is the energy of the movement travels perpendicular to it.

With this let's review the claims

A False

B False

C True.

D False

When Javier touches a hot mug of tea, energy is transferred from the surface of the mug to his hand. What kind of energy is this
sweet [91]

Answer:

Thermal energy

Explanation:

  • When work is being done energy is being transferred.
  • <em><u>Work can transfer energy between objects and cause a change in the form of energy.</u></em>
  • Thermal energy is a type of energy that is generated from heat. It is an example of kinetic energy that involves motion of particles.
  • <em><u>When  Javier touches a hot mug of tea, </u></em><em><u>thermal energy </u></em><em><u>is transferred from the surface of the mug to his hand through conduction.</u></em>
