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:

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:

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)

B. The Earth radiates an amount of energy into space equal to the amount it receives.
Part of the solar energy is reflected by the Earth into space, this is known as albedo. The other part of the energy radiated by the Earth in the form of infrared radiation, is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, which cause most of this infrared radiation to be emitted into space. Therefore, the net flow of energy is zero.
Answer:
(A) Reading will be 65 N
(B) Net force on the elevator will be 49.076 N
Explanation:
We have given the balance force = 65 N
Acceleration due to gravity 
We know that W=mg
So 
m = 6.632 kg
(a) In first case as the as the speed is constant so the force on the elevator will be 65 N
(B) In second case as the elevator is decelerating at a rate of 
So net acceleration = 9.8-2.4=
So net force on elevator will be = m× net acceleration = 6.632×7.4 = 49.076 N
Urbanization often requires extensive ecological change and many times destruction and displacement to occur. This can have a negative impact on the environment, and the animals within ecosystems undergoing urbanization.
Hope this helps!
