Answer: Increase internal energy and work done by the system

Explanation: According to the first law of thermodynamics conservation of energy, when heat is added to the system then the system gain or loss of energy.

So, when we add heat to a system then increases internal energy and external work done by the system.

How is the moment magnitude scale used to describe earthquakes?

natka813 [3]

The Richter Scale is not commonly used anymore, except for small earthquakesrecorded locally, for which ML and Mblg are the only magnitudes that can be measured. For all other earthquakes, the moment magnitude scale is a more accurate measure of the earthquake size.

An automobile engine takes in 4000 j of heat and performs 1100 j of mechanical work in each cycle. (a) calculate the engine's ef

Semmy [17]

(a) The efficiency of an engine is defined as the ratio between the work done by the engine and the heat it takes in:
$\eta= \frac{W}{Q_{in}}$
The engine in this problem does a work of $W=1100 J$ and it takes in $Q_{in}=4000 J$ of heat, therefore its efficiency is
$\eta= \frac{1100 J}{4000 J}=0.275 = 27.5 \%$

(b) The heat taken by the machine is 4000 J; of this amount of heat, only 1100 J are converted into useful work. This means that the rest of the heat is wasted. Therefore, the wasted heat is the difference between the heat in input and the work done by the engine:
$Q_{wasted}=Q_{in}-W=4000 J-1100 J=2900 J$

How does incident light that falls on an object affect the motion of electrons in the atoms of the object?

KonstantinChe [14]

Explanation:

Incident light makes an electron oscillate. The electrons emit light or absorb the light, collide with other electrons, thereby converting light energy to more internal energy. and convert it to heat.

Light wave of a given frequency is incident on a material with electrons having the same vibrational frequencies, then electrons absorb the energy of the light wave and transform it into vibrational motion.
