We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:
where
is the change in internal energy of the system
Q is the heat absorbed by the system
W is the work done by the system
In our problem, the heat absorbed by the system is Q=+194 kJ, while the work done is W=-120 kJ, where the negative sign means the work is done by the surroundings on the system. Therefore, the variation of internal energy is

Answer:
ks= 133.2 N/m
Explanation:
- Assuming that we can neglect the gravitational potential energy of the mass, and that no other forces acting on the payload, total mechanical energy must be conserved.
- This energy, at any time, is part elastic potential energy (stored in the spring) and part kinetic energy.
- When the spring is initially compressed, the payload is at rest, so all energy is elastic potential.
- Once the spring has returned to its natural state, all this elastic potential energy must have been turned into kinetic energy.
- If the payload is launched horizontally, and no gravity is present,this means that its final speed will be horizontal only also, according to Newton's First Law.
- So, we can write the following equation:
- where ΔU = -1/2*k*(Δx)² (2)
- and ΔK = 1/2*m*v² (3)
- Replacing in (2) and (3) by the givens, and simplifying, we can find the stiffness ks as follows:
