How does a gas do work?

Your answer would be C, "By conserving energy"! A gas can do work through something called the First Law of Thermodynamics. Heat that energy used by the gas during this "work" cannot be created or destroyed however it can be transferred and converted. This energy can only be stored during these processes, not removed. An example of this would be gas in a cylindrical object such as a piston. When the gas is heated, it expands and moves the piston upwards. When it expands, it stores that energy it gains through the heat given.

I hope this helps! (:

You are pulling a child in a wagon. The rope handle is inclined upward at a 60∘ angle. The tension in the handle is 20 N.How muc

Work is equal to the force applied times the displacement. Since you pull the wagon at constant speed this means that there is no acceleration on the wagon as it does not change speed. F=ma. Since a=0, F=0. Therefore no work has been done in this situation

according to Newton's third law what is the equal and opposite force to the downward force of gravity pulling on a man standing

Fudgin [204]

When you're talking about gravity, it's easy to identify the equal
opposite forces.

Gravity ALWAYS produces an equal pair of opposite forces.
They both act between the centers of the two objects, one in
each direction.

Consider the equal pair of opposite gravitational forces between
you and the Earth. One force acts on you, and draws you toward
the center of the Earth. We call that force "your weight".
The other one acts on the Earth, and draws it toward the center
of you. Hardly anybody ever talks about that one, but the two
forces are equal ... your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's
weight on you !
