Problem 1
On a cold day, Ming rubs her hands together to warm them up. She presses her
hands together with a force of \(5.0 \mathrm{N} .\) Each time she rubs them back
and forth they move a distance of \(16 \mathrm{cm}\) with a coefficient of
kinetic friction of \(0.45 .\) Assuming no heat flow to the surroundings, after
she has rubbed her hands back and forth eight times, by how much has the
internal energy of her hands increased?
Problem 9
Suppose 1.00 mol of oxygen is heated at constant pressure of 1.00 atm from
\(10.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(25.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) (a) How much heat is
absorbed by the gas? (b) Using the ideal gas law, calculate the change of
volume of the gas in this process. (c) What is the work done by the gas during
this expansion? (d) From the first law, calculate the change of internal
energy of the gas in this process.
Problem 63
A \(0.50-\mathrm{kg}\) block of iron $[c=0.44 \mathrm{kJ} /(\mathrm{kg} \cdot
\mathrm{K})]\( at \)20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
is in contact with a \(0.50-\mathrm{kg}\) block of aluminum \([c=\) $0.900
\mathrm{kJ} /(\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K})]$ at a temperature of
\(20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) The system is completely isolated from the rest of
the universe. Suppose heat flows from the iron into the aluminum until the
temperature of the aluminum is \(22.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
(a) From the first law, calculate the final temperature of the iron. (b)
Estimate the entropy change of the system.
(c) Explain how the result of part (b) shows that this process is impossible.
[Hint: since the system is isolated, $\left.\Delta S_{\text {System }}=\Delta
S_{\text {Universe }} .\right]$
Problem 73
A reversible heat engine has an efficiency of \(33.3 \%\) removing heat from a
hot reservoir and rejecting heat to a cold reservoir at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
.$ If the engine now operates in reverse, how long would it take to freeze
\(1.0 \mathrm{kg}\) of water at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) if it operates on a
power of \(186 \mathrm{W} ?\)
Problem 75
A fish at a pressure of 1.1 atm has its swim bladder inflated to an initial
volume of \(8.16 \mathrm{mL}\). If the fish starts swimming horizontally, its
temperature increases from \(20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to $22.0^{\circ}
\mathrm{C}$ as a result of the exertion. (a) since the fish is still at the
same pressure, how much work is done by the air in the swim bladder? [Hint:
First find the new volume from the temperature change. \(]\) (b) How much heat
is gained by the air in the swim bladder? Assume air to be a diatomic ideal
gas. (c) If this quantity of heat is lost by the fish, by how much will its
temperature decrease? The fish has a mass of \(5.00 \mathrm{g}\) and its
specific heat is about $3.5 \mathrm{J} /\left(\mathrm{g} \cdot^{\circ}
\mathrm{C}\right)$.
