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

Atmospheric pressure is greater at the base of a mountain than at
aliina [53]

At the top of the mountain, when he tightens the cap onto the bottole, there is some water and some air inside the bottle.  Then he brings the bottle down to the base of the mountain.

The pressure on the outside of the bottle is greater  than it was when he put the cap on.  If anything could get out of the bottlde, it would. But it can't . . . the cap is on too tight. So all the water and all the air has to stay inside, and anything that can get squished into a smaller space has to get squished into a smaller space.

The water is pretty much unsquishable.

Biut the air in there can be <em>COMPRESSED</em>.  The air gets squished into a smaller space, and the bottle wrinkles in slightly.

Torque can be best described as which of the following? Give an example of both a force and a torque and explain why in a couple
kicyunya [14]

Answer: rotational force

Explanation:

Torque is the twisting force which cause rotation and the axis of rotation is the point at which the object rotates.

Torque is a rotational force as it leads to the rotation of an object about an axis. Force simply means a pull or push. When an unbalanced ball acts on a force, the ball, the ball will be moved towards the linear motion.

Then, the unbalanced force that is acting in the ball produces torque which causes the ball's rotational motion.
