1. U = 700 J increase
2. a. 0.005 m3
b. 1.5 103 J
c. 1.5 103 J
3. a. 5.00 104 J
b. 1.40 104 J
4. a. U (compressed air) = W (added by person) Q (things warm up)
b. Disorder is increased by increasing internal energy through heat.
5. Graph bars should convey that: PE1 = max, KE1 = 0, U1 = 0 or U1 is any amount. Then, PE2 = 0,
KE2 PE1, U2 U1 + PE1. Then, PE3 PE1, KE3 = 0, U3 U2. Last: PE4 = 0, KE4 PE1,
and U4 PE1.

1. A system does 300 J of work at the same time that 1000 J of energy is transferred
to the system as heat. What is the change in the system’s internal energy?

2. Air is being compressed in a cylinder of area 0.025 m3 under a constant pressure
of 3.0 105 Pa, and the volume of the air in the cylinder is reduced to 0.020 m3.
a. By how much is the volume of air reduced?
_________________________________________________________________
b. How much work is done in the process?
_________________________________________________________________
c. The cylinder is thermally insulated, making the process adiabatic. What is the
change in internal energy of the gas?

5. A basketball bounces to half of its original height when dropped. In the space
below, sketch energy bar diagrams describing the ball’s potential energy, the
ball’s kinetic energy, the internal energy of the ball, and the ball’s environment at
each of the following four instants.
• just before the ball is dropped
• immediately after the first bounce
• at its highest point after the first bounce
• immediately after the second bounce
