(II) When a diver jumps into the ocean, water leaks into the gap region between the diver’s skin and her wetsuit, forming a water layer about 0.5 mm thick. Assuming the total surface area of the wetsuit covering the diver is about 1.0m2 and that ocean water enters the suit at 10°C and iswarmed by the diver to skin temperature of 35°C, estimate how much energy (in units of candy bars = 300 kcal ) is required by this heating process.

Consider a container of oxygen gas at a temperature of 23°Cthat is 1.00 m tall. Compare the gravitational potential energyof a molecule at the top of the container (assuming thepotential energy is zero at the bottom) with the averagekinetic energy of the molecules. Is it reasonable to neglectthe potential energy?
(15-56) An inventor claims to have built an engine that produces 2.00 MW of usable work while taking in 3.00 MW of thermal energy at 425 K, and rejecting 1.00 MW of thermal energt at 15 K. Is there anything fishy about his claim?
