Answer:

a) 0 J

b) W = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

c) ΔQ = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

d) ΔQ = W

Explanation:

a) To find the change in the internal energy you use the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U=\Delta Q-W

Q: heat transfer

W: work done by the gas

The gas is compressed isothermally, then, there is no change in the internal energy and you have

ΔU = 0 J

b) The work is done by the gas, not over the gas.

The work is given by the following formula:

\\W=nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})

n: moles

R: ideal gas constant

T: constant temperature

Vf: final volume

Vi: initial volume

Vf < Vi, then W < 0 and the work is done on the gas

c) The gas has been compressed. Thus, its temperature increases and heat has been transferred to the gas.

The amount of heat is equal to the work done W

d)

\Delta U = \Delta Q-W\\\\0=\Delta Q-W\\\\\Delta Q=W=nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})

<h3>No:1</h3>

The object is moving with constant or uniform acceleration and in average speed

<h3>No:-2</h3>

The object is de accelerating

<h3>No:-3</h3>

The object deaccelerated and came to rest so fast.

<h3>No:-4</h3>

The object moves slowly first then accelerated.

<h3>No:-5</h3>

The object accelerated at first so fast then move with constant acceleration then again accelerated .
