When a system does work, what happens to its internal energy

2 answers:

8 0

The first law, which deals with changes in the internal energy, thus becomes 0 = Q - W, so Q = W.

If the system does work, the energy comes from heat flowing into the system from the reservoir; if work is done on the system, heat flows out of the system to the reservoir

Answer:

Internal energy decreases

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics heat can neither be created nor destroyed , but it changes from one form to another form.

Mathematical representation :

U=Q-w

Where U=Internal energy of system

w=Work done

Q=Heat gain or removed

When system does work then it take positive .When system does work then Q is positive .

Hence, the internal energy will decrease .

Distinguish between physical and chemical changes. Include examples in your explanations.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Chemical changes are recognized when a substance changes its properties permanently and it cannot be the same substance as before.

Instead the physical changes implies that if you can return to the same substance through a reverse process.

Explanation:

A chemical change is, by example, a combustion, if a sheet of paper burns, its result is ashes, the ashes cannot go back to being a sheet of paper because its properties changed, heat energy was generated that changed matter permanently.

A physical change, by example, is that of freezing water, the water becomes ice, but this can easily become water again if the temperature is increased, its properties do not change and the chemistry of the substance does not change.

How might observations of the sun's outermost layers reveal what's happening in the interior? and how could this information be

LuckyWell [14K]

A raging activity can be found in the Sun's interior, with pressure waves being produced and travelling back and forth, from the core to the surface and back to the core. By looking closely at the 'surface' we can see these "ripples". It gives us an idea of how dense the material was that the waves passed through. In a way, this can help to predict solar storms in the future.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Samantha walks along a horizontal path in the direction shown the curved path is a semi circle with a radius of 2 m while the horizontal part is for me what is the magnitude of displacement

Displacement is given by the straight line distance between P and Q. Displacement will be length of straight line joining P and Q

a semi circle with a radius of 2 m

Length of this straight line=4+diameter

=4+(2*2)

=8 m
