<h2>Answer:</h2>

d. An object did work on the environment.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Work is defined in many contexts. Some of these are;

i. <em>Work is the product of force and displacement</em>. In this case, work done is positive if the force applied on an object or body and the displacement caused by the force are in the same direction. If instead the force and displacement are in opposite direction, then the work done will be negative. If it is the case the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other, the work done is zero.

ii. In the first law of thermodynamics, the internal energy of a system is the sum of the work done and the heat exchanged between the system and the environment. Therefore, <em>work done is the difference between the internal energy of a system and the heat exchanged between the system and the environment</em>.

In this case, work is said to be positive if work is done by the system (object) on the environment. It is negative if work is done by the environment on the system (object).

Which of the following statements is correct?
Mumz [18]

Answer: c. Generally, metals are ductile.

Explanation:

From the options given in the question, the correct statement is that"Generally, metals are ductile.

Ductility of a metal simply means that a metal can be plastically deform before it is then fractured. It implies that metals can be drawn to thin wires. The only exception we have in this case is mercury.

A person jogs for 4.0 km in 32 mins,then 2.0km in 22mins,and finallu 1.0 km in 16 mins.whqt is the joggers average speed in km p
blondinia [14]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

total distance covered = (4km + 2km + 1km) = 7 km

time to cover the distance = (32min + 22min + 16min) = 70 min

Average speed = (7 km) / (70 min)

Average speed = 0.1 km/minute

maria [59]

Answer:

The net change in the internal energy of the gas in the piston is -343J

Explanation:

Because heat and workdone are the only means of energy transfer between the system and the surrounding, change in internal energy is given by;

∆E = q + w

q = heat transfer

w = workdone

Because heat is lost by the system, the heat transfer is negative

q = -413J

Because work is done on the system, workdone is positive

w = +70J

∆E = -413J + 70J

∆E = -343J
