Answer:Decreases

Explanation:

Given

Volume is held constant that is it is a isochoric process.

We know that

PV=nRT

as n,V& R are constant therefore only variables are

P & T

so $\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

As $T_1$ is decreasing therefore Pressure must also decrease so that ratio remains constant.

Answer:

P = 4000 [Pa]

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the relationship between Force and the area where the body rests.

The support area is equal to:

$A=50*20=1000[cm^{2} ]$

But we must convert from square centimeters to square meters.

$1000[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2}m^{2} }{100^{2}m^{2} }=0.1[m^{2} ]$

And the pressure is:

$P=\frac{F}{A} \\P=400/0.1\\P=4000[N/m^{2} ]or 4000[Pa]$

The situation given above can be answered through the concept of the First Law of thermodynamics which states that the change in internal energy is equal to the difference between the work done and the heat added to the system. The work done by the object is negative and the heat added is positive.
change in internal energy = -500J + 1400 J = 900 J
