The figure shows a pV diagram of a gas for a complete cycle. During part bc of the cycle, 1190 J of heat flows into a system, and at the same time the system expands against a constant external pressure of 7.00 × 104 Pa as its volume increases from 0.0200 m3 to 0.0800 m3. Calculate the change in internal (thermal) energy of the system during part bc of the cycle. If the change is nonzero, be sure to indicate whether the change is positive or negative.
Answer: -3010 J

The law of universal gravitation is written F = GMm/r2. Why did we use the form F = mg when we studied projectile motion?
A. The first form is not valid for projectile motion. B. The first form does not work because it requires two masses. C. The first form is not valid near the surface of Earth. D. The second form is a good approximation to the first and much simpler to use.
