(a) $-1\text{.}0\times {\text{10}}^4\text{J}$ , or $-2\text{.}\text{39 kcal}$

(b) 5.00%

(a) 122 W

(b) $2\text{.}\text{10}\times {\text{10}}^6\text{J}$

(c) Work done by the motor is $1\text{.}\text{61}\times {\text{10}}^7\text{J}$ ;thus the motor produces 7.67 times the work done by the man

(a) 492 kJ

(b) This amount of heat is consistent with the fact that you warm quickly when exercising. Since the body is inefficient, the excess heat produced must be dissipated through sweating, breathing, etc.

(a) $W=P\text{Δ}V=1\text{.}\text{76}\times {\text{10}}^5\text{J}$

(b) $W=$ $\text{Fd}=$ $1\text{.}\text{76}\times {\text{10}}^5\text{J}$. Yes, the answer is the same.

(a) $\text{18.5}\text{kJ}$

(b) 54.1%

(a) ${\text{1.32 × 10}}^{\text{9}}\text{J}$

(b) ${\text{4.68 × 10}}^{\text{9}}\text{J}$

(a) ${\text{3.80 × 10}}^{\text{9}}\text{J}$

(b) 0.667 barrels

(a) ${\text{8.30 × 10}}^{\text{12}}\text{J}$, which is 3.32% of ${\text{2.50 × 10}}^{\text{14}}\text{J}$ .

(b) ${\text{–8.30 × 10}}^{\text{12}}\text{J}$, where the negative sign indicates a reduction in heat transfer to the environment.

(a) $2\text{44}\text{º}\text{C}$

(b) $\text{477}\text{º}\text{C}$

(c)Yes, since automobiles engines cannot get too hot without overheating, their efficiency is limited.

(a) ${\text{Eff}}_{\text{1}}=1-\frac{T_{\text{c,1}}}{T_{\text{h,1}}}=1-\frac{\text{543 K}}{\text{723 K}}=0\text{.}\text{249}\text{or}\text{24}\text{.}\mathrm{9\%}$

(b) ${\text{Eff}}_2=1-\frac{\text{423 K}}{\text{543 K}}=0\text{.}\text{221}\text{or}\text{22}\text{.}\mathrm{1\%}$

(c) $$\begin{array}{l}{\text{Eff}}_1=1-\frac{T_{\text{c,1}}}{T_{\text{h,1}}}\Rightarrow T_{\text{c,1}}=T_{\text{h,1}}1-{\text{eff}}_1\end{array}$$ $$\begin{array}{l}\text{similarly,}{T}_{\text{c,2}}=T_{\text{h,2}}1-{\text{Eff}}_2\end{array}$$ $$\begin{array}{l}\text{using}{T}_{\text{h,2}}=T_{\text{c,1}}\text{in}\text{above}\text{equation}\text{gives}\end{array}$$ $$\begin{array}{l}{T}_{\text{c,2}}=T_{\text{h,1}}1-{\text{Eff}}_{1}1-{\text{Eff}}_2\equiv T_{\text{h,1}}1-{\mathrm{Eff}}_{\text{overall}}\\ \therefore 1-{\mathrm{Eff}}_{\text{overall}}=1-{\text{Eff}}_{1}1-{\text{Eff}}_2\\ {\mathrm{Eff}}_{\text{overall}}=1-1-0\text{.}\text{249}1-0\text{.}\text{221}=\text{41}\text{.}\mathrm{5\%}\end{array}$$

(d) ${\text{Eff}}_{\text{overall}}=1-\frac{\text{423 K}}{\text{723 K}}=0\text{.}\text{415}\text{or}\text{41}\text{.}\mathrm{5\%}$

(a) $\text{–56.3ºC}$

(b) The temperature is too cold for the output of a steam engine (the local environment). It is below the freezing point of water.

(c) The assumed efficiency is too high.

(a) 4.61

(b) $1\text{.}\text{66}\times {\text{10}}^8\text{J}\text{or 3}\text{.}\text{97}\times {\text{10}}^4\text{kcal}$

(c) To transfer $1\text{.}\text{66}\times {\text{10}}^8\text{J}$ , heat pump costs $1.00, natural gas costs $1.34.

(a) $1\text{.}\text{44}\times {\text{10}}^7\text{J}$

(b) 40 cents

(c) This cost seems quite realistic; it says that running an air conditioner all day would cost $9.59 (if it ran continuously).

(a) $9.78\times {\text{10}}^4\text{J/K}$

(b) In order to gain more energy, we must generate it from things within the house, like a heat pump, human bodies, and other appliances. As you know, we use a lot of energy to keep our houses warm in the winter because of the loss of heat to the outside.

(a) $1\text{.}\text{04}\times {\text{10}}^{\text{31}}\text{J/K}$

(b) $3\text{.}\text{28}\times {\text{10}}^{\text{31}}\text{J}$

(a) $2\text{.}\text{47}\times {\text{10}}^{\text{14}}\text{J}$

(b) $1\text{.}\text{60}\times {\text{10}}^{\text{14}}\text{J}$

(c) $2.85\times {\text{10}}^{\text{10}}\text{J/K}$

(d) $8.29\times {\text{10}}^{\text{12}}\text{J}$

(a) $3\text{.}0\times {\text{10}}^{\text{29}}$

(b) 24%

(a) $-2\text{.}\text{38}\times {\text{10}}^{–\text{23}}\text{J/K}$

(b) 5.6 times more likely

(c) If you were betting on two heads and 8 tails, the odds of breaking even are 252 to 45, so on average you would break even. So, no, you wouldn’t bet on odds of 252 to 45.

(b) 7

(c) 64

(d) 9.38%

(e) 3.33 times more likely (20 to 6)
