First Law of Thermodynamics — Quiz

Question 8 • Physics

A system uses 49 J of energy to do work, and the change in internal energy is ​​​​​​​58 J. How much heat was added to the system?

Answer
A
107 J
B
97 J
C
117 J
D
9 J

Explanation

Use the first law of thermodynamics: the change in internal energy equals heat added minus work done by the system, ΔU = Q − W. Rearranging gives Q = ΔU + W = 58 J + 49 J = 107 J. Therefore, 107 J of heat was added to the system, choice A.
