First Law of Thermodynamics: The figure shows a pV diagram for a gas going through a cycle from A to B to C and back to A. From point A to point B, the gas absorbs 50 J of heat and finds its internal (thermal) energy has increased by 20 J. Going from B to C, the internal (thermal) energy decreases by 5.0 J.(a) How much work was done by the gas from A to B?(b) How much heat was absorbed by the gas from B to C?(c) How much work was done by the gas going from B to C?

What will be an ideal response?


(a) 30 J (b) -5.0 (i.e. released 5.0 J) (c) 0 J

A "double satellite" is launched into space. It consists of a satellite of mass m and another satellite of mass 5m. The connecting mechanism of these satellites is an explosive bolt and a compressed spring, both of negligible mass. The bolt is exploded and the satellites drift apart having been pushed by the spring. When the less massive satellite has moved a distance of 2.5 m from the center of

mass of the double satellite, how far away from it is the satellite of greater mass? a. 3.0 m c. 0.10 m b. 12 m d. 0.50 m
