Consider the following diagram when answering the questions below. a. Compare balls A and B in terms of potential energy in both the initial and final setups. b. Ball A has stopped moving in the figure on the right above, but energy must be conserved. What happened to the potential energy of ball A?
Suppose heat flows into a vessel containing a gas. As the heat flows into the gas, what happens to the gas molecules? What happens to the internal energy of the gas?
In the “Chemistry in Focus” segment Firewalking: Magic or Science?, it is claimed that one reason people can walk on hot coals is that human tissue is mainly composed of water. Because of this, a large amount of heat must be transferred from the coals to change the temperature of the feet significantly. How much heat must be transferred to 100.0 g of water to change its temperature by 35 °C?
The “Chemistry in Focus” segment Nature Has Hot Plants discusses thermogenic, or heat-producing, plants. For some plants, enough heat is generated to increase the temperature of the blossom by 15 °C. About how much heat is required to increase the temperature of 1 L of water by 15 °C?
A book is held 6 feet above the floor and then dropped. Which statement is true? a.The potential energy of the book is converted to kinetic energy. b.The potential energy of the book is destroyed. c.Kinetic energy is created. d.The total energy of the system will not be conserved.
