Answer:

The change in internal energy for the system = - 78.87 KJ = - 79 KJ to 2 s.f

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another.

It goes further to explain that change in the internal energy of a system (ΔU) is the sum of heat exchanged (Q) and the work done (W) by the system or on the system.

If work is done by the system, sign of work is ‘-’, if work is done on the system, the sign of work is ‘+’.

If heat is released by the system, the sign of q is ‘-’. And if heat is gained by the system, then the sign of q is ‘+’.

ΔU = Q + W

Q = 130 J

W = - 79 KJ = - 79000 J

ΔU = 130 - 79000 = - 78870 J = - 78.87 KJ = - 79 KJ

babymother [125]

Answer:

A) Its density will decrease

Explanation:

When an object is heated, its volume increases. This is due to the fact that the particles in the medium vibrate more (if it is a solid) or they move more (if it is a liquid or a gas), therefore they tend to occupy a larger space.

At the same time, the mass of the object does not change, because the mass just represents the amount of matter contained in the object, so it does not increase/decrease at different temperatures.

The density of an object is defined as the ratio between the mass (m) and the volume (V):

d=\frac{m}{V}

We said that the mass remains unchanged while the volume increases: since the density is inversely proportional to the volume, this means that the density decreases.

Reduce the friction. Since the total energy is conserved, the only way to improve its work capacity is by reducing energy that doesnt go into work.
