A plastic bag containing 0.2 kg of water at 20°C is dropped from a height of 0.5 m onto an insulating carpet. Assume that the bag does NOT break. What is the approximate probability that a similar bag sitting on a carpet will do the reverse; that is, spontaneously jump 0.5 m in the air? Express your answer in the form "Probability = 10-x," where x is a number you will calculate. (Hint: Note that ey = 10y÷ln(10).)
How much energy (in J) is required to evaporate 25% of 4g of water currently at 100 degrees C? The answer (in fundamental SI unit) is ___________ (type the numeric value only, please do NOT use scientific notation)
The temperature in the deep interiors of some giant molecular clouds in the Milky Way galaxy is 50 K. Compare the amount of energy that would have to be transferred to this environment to the amount that would have to be transferred to a room temperature environment to bring about a 7.7 J/K increase in the entropy of the universe in each case.

The first low of the thermodynamics shows U = Q - W, where U is a changing internal energy of the gas in the system, Q is a heat that the system received, and DW is work done by the system. If 15 kJ of heat flows out of a system and 30 kJ of work is done by the system, then what is the change in internal energy?
A truck has four times the mass of a car and is moving with twice the speed of the car. If Kt and Kc refer to the kinetic energies of truck and car respectively, it is correct to say that a.Kt= 4Kc. b. Kt = Kc. c. Kt = 16Kc. d. Kt = Kc.
Why is the entropy higher for a system with 5 particles with energy states >1 than for a system with 5 particles with energy states less than or equal to 1?
Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigeration system as saturated vapor at 0.14 MPa and leaves as superheated vapor at 0.8 MPa and 60°C at a rate of 0.06 kg/s. Determine the rates of energy transfers by mass into and out of the compressor. Assume the kinetic and potential energies to be negligible.
(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.
A bricklayer drops a lump of mortar from a point 30 meters up the side of a brick building he is working on and it hits the ground with a splat. Mortar has a specificheat of 1200J/(kg•K). Byhow many degrees will the mortar be warmer, assuming that all the energy it acquires dur ing the drop is converted to internal energy inside the mortar and not the ground?
