W = 117.7 – 50 = 67.7 J
Volume = 10 cm3
work = force × distance in direction of force
= 10 × 10–6 m3 distance travelled = 5 m
Density = 2700 kg m–3 67.7 = F × 5
F = 13.5 N
mass = V × ρ = 10 × 10–6 × 2700
mass = 2.7 × 10–2 kg = 27 g 7

3 (a) Block has PE = mgh = 10 × 9.8 × 40

= 3.92 × 103 J

(b) This PE will all be converted to heat so

v = 60 m s–1
KE = 12  mv2 = 12 × 1000 × 602

this is equivalent to 2 cm × 5°C cm–1 = 10°C

 8 (a) Average KE of air molecules = 32  kT (b) Energy added = 3 × 105 J = mcΔθ
so Δθ = 3 × 10 = 667°C

(This assumes air is an ideal gas which it
0.5 × 900
isn’t, but it gives an approximate answer)
so if initial temperature = 20°C
temperature in K = 273 + 20 = 293 K
final temperature = 687°C
Average KE = 32 × 1.38 × 10–23 × 293
= 6 × 10–21 J  12 mv2 = 12 × 1500 × 202
14 (a) Initial KE =
(b) molar mass of air = 29 g mol−1 = 3 × 105 J
mass of 1 molecule = 29 Final KE = 0 J so KE lost = 3 × 105 J

9 From definition Q = CΔθ
10 × 440
Heat lost = 210 × 103 × 2
15 (a) 8 litre/min = 8 kg/min since 1 litre has a
Q = 420 kJ
mass of 1 kg.
10 (a) A 1 kW heater will deliver 103 J per second So in 10 minutes 80 kg of water is used.
so if it’s on for 1 hour: (b) Using Q = mcΔθ
heat delivered = 60 × 60 × 103 = 3.6 × 106 J Q = 80 × 4200 × (50 – 10)
(b) From definition C = Q = 1.34 × 107 J
Δθ
the room is heated from 10°C to 20°C
16 From definition Q = ml
so Δθ = 10°C (fusion since water is turning into ice)
So for the room, C = 3.6 × 10

Heat released, Q = 1 × 106 × 3.35 × 105 J
10
= 3.35 × 1011 J
= 3.6 × 105 J °C–1
(c) Some heat will be lost to the outside. 17 To change 400 g of water at 100°C into steam
requires 0.4 × 2.27 × 106 = 9.08 × 105 J
11 From table, Ccopper = 380 J/kg°C
If power of heater = 800 W
So Q = 0.25 × 380 × (160 – 20)
then since P = energy  , t = E = 9.08 × 10

M = 1000 × 10–3 = 1 kg
(a) Volume = 1000 × 2 × 10–2 = 20 m3
(b) Q = mc∆θ = 1 × 4200 × (100 – 20)
Density, ρ = M ⇒ M = Vρ = 20 × 920
= 3.36 × 105 J V
(c) 1 kW ⇒ 1000 J per second = 1.84 × 104 kg
So time taken = 3.36 × 10 = 336 s

2 × 960 × 92 = 39 kJ
This can be KE and PE. Increased thermal (b) Work done = average force × distance

molecules which increases the temperature, = loss of KE = 39 kJ = average force × 15 m
in other words the runner becomes hot.
average force = 39 000 = 2.6 kN

(b) (i) Energy generated = power × time
(c) Energy given to brakes = 39 kJ
= 1200 × 3600 = 2.2 × 106 J
This causes the brakes to get hot so KE

(b) (i) Using PV = nRT
T = 290 K When first filled and joined we can treat the two
P = 4.8 × 105 Pa flasks as one container. Applying the ideal gas
V = 9.2 × 10–4 m3 equation, PV = nRT, we get 100 × 2V = nR × 300
