When a system is heated, heat is _______________ by the system. The amount of heat added is given a _______________ sign. When a

system is cooled, heat is _______________ by the system. The amount of heat is given a _______________ sign. If a gas expands, it must push the surrounding atmosphere away. Thus, work is done _______________ the system and is given a _______________ sign. If a gas is compressed, then work is done _______________ the system. This work is given a _______________ sign.

First of all, we need to write the First Law of thermodynamics assigning the correct sign convention:

\Delta U = Q+W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed/released

W is the work done

and the signs are assigned based on whether there is an increase in the internal energy or not. Therefore:

Q is positive if it is absorbed by the system (because internal energy increases)

Q is negative if it is released by the system (because internal energy decreases)

W is negative if it is done by the system on the surrounding (because internal energy decreases)

W is positive if it is done by the surrounding on the system (because internal energy increases)

Using these definitions, we can now fill the text of the question:

When a system is heated, heat is ABSORBED by the system. The amount of heat added is given a POSITIVE sign. When a system is cooled, heat is RELEASED by the system. The amount of heat is given a NEGATIVE sign. If a gas expands, it must push the surrounding atmosphere away. Thus, work is done BY the system and is given a NEGATIVE sign. If a gas is compressed, then work is done ON the system. This work is given a POSITIVE sign.

Answer:

When a system is heated, heat is ABSORBED by the system. The amount of heat added is given a POSITIVE sign. When a system is cooled, heat is RELEASED by the system. The amount of heat is given a NEGATIVE sign. If a gas expands, it must push the surrounding atmosphere away. Thus, work is done BY the system and is given a NEGATIVE sign. If a gas is compressed, then work is done ON the system. This work is given a POSITIVE sign.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

v=2.556m/s

Explanation:

From the conservation of mechanical energy

K_{E1}+U_1=K_{E2}+U_2

\frac{1}{2}m*v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}*K*x_1^2=\frac{1}{2}m*v_2^2+\frac{1}{2}*K*x_2^2

x_2=0.08m

v_1=0 m/s

Solve to velocity v2

m*v_2^2=k*x_1^2-k*x_2^2

v^2=\frac{k}{m}*(x_1^2-x_2^2)

v^2=\frac{5.5N/m}{0.24kg}*(0.54m^2-0.080^2)

v=\sqrt{6.54m^2/s^2}=2.556m/s
