8. A student does 1,000 J of work when she moves to her dormitory. Her internal energy is decreased by 3,000 J. Determine the heat during this process. Does she gain or lose her heat

Respuesta :

Answer:

The heat loss during the process = -4000 J

Explanation:

Work done by the student (W) = - 1000 J

Negative sign on the system is due to work done on the system.

Decrease in internal energy (U) = - 3000 J

We know that heat transfer in the system is given by (Q) = U + W

⇒ Q = - 1000 - 3000

⇒ Q = - 4000 J

This is the value of heat transfer during the process And negative sign indicates that heat loss during the process.
