A certain gas is compressed adiabatically. The amount of work done on the gas is 800 J. What is the change in the internal (thermal) energy of the gas?

800J

Explanation:

Using the formula for change in the internal energy of a system

∆U = Q - W

Q = heat added to the system

W =workdone by system.

We know the process is an adiabatic one then, there no addition/ removal of heat, then Q= 0

(∆U = -W )

Then substitute for W, we have

∆U = -[-800]

∆U= 800J

∆U = 800J

the answer would be a

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
