No matter what other interactions take place, the internal energy must change if a system undergoes a heat transfer. d. The only changes that can occur in the internal energy of a system are those produced by non-mechanical forces. e. The internal energy of a system cannot change if the heat transferred to the system is equal to the work done by the system.

A basketball player jumps to make a basket, and remains in the air for a moment. A sportscaster, talking about the game, then remarks that she has "defied gravity." Which of the following accurately describes the situation?
A) The player did stay in the air in spite of the Law of Gravitation, but a single counter-observation is not enough to warrant revisiting a theory that usually works. B) The player produced enough force with her legs to accelerate up into the air, and gravity brought her back down with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2. C) The player only seemed to defy gravity, but part of the Universal Law of Gravitation makes an exception for basketball players. D) The player has defied gravity, so scientists must go back into the lab to refine their theory.
