The ball in this activity could reach much greater speeds if not for the loss of energy in many different transformations. There
is one major energy loss that is causing the ball to move more slowly, what is that energy? What force is acting upon the ball to create this loss of energy?

Answer:
W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)
Explanation:
First, we find the change in internal energy of the diatomic gas by using the following formula:
where,
ΔU = Change in internal energy of gas = ?
n = no. of moles of gas = 0.0884 mole
Cv = Molar Specific Heat at constant volume = 5R/2 (for diatomic gases)
Cv = 5(8.314 J/mol.K)/2 = 20.785 J/mol.K
ΔT = Rise in Temperature = 18.8 K
Therefore,
Now, we can apply First Law of Thermodynamics as follows:
where,
ΔQ = Heat flow = - 83.7 J (negative sign due to outflow)
W = Work done = ?
Therefore,
<u>W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)</u>
