This is correct. The lighter truck moves faster.
Answer:
(a) W = 1329.5 J = 1.33 KJ
(b) ΔU = 24.27 KJ
Explanation:
(a)
Work done by the gas can be found by the following formula:

where,
W = Work = ?
P = constant pressure = (0.991 atm)(
) = 100413 Pa
ΔV = Change in Volume = 18.7 L - 5.46 L = (13.24 L)(
) = 0.01324 m³
Therefore,
W = (100413 Pa)(0.01324 m³)
<u>W = 1329.5 J = 1.33 KJ</u>
<u></u>
(b)
Using the first law of thermodynamics:
ΔU = ΔQ - W (negative W for the work done by the system)
where,
ΔU = change in internal energy of the gas = ?
ΔQ = heat added to the system = 25.6 KJ
Therefore,
ΔU = 25.6 KJ - 1.33 KJ
<u>ΔU = 24.27 KJ</u>
Answer:
The coastal zone is not a stable and constant environment, but a dynamic place that can change rapidly in response to natural processes such as seasonal weather patterns. Waves, winds, currents, tides and storms are the major forces on the coast.
