Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Two forms of energy involved when hot gases move piston are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Energy is the capacity to do work. The law of conservation of energy states that “energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be converted from one form to another.” The total energy of the universe is constant.
(b)
Interpretation:
Two forms of energy involved when pistons power the crankshaft are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Energy is the capacity to do work. The law of conservation of energy states that “energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be converted from one form to another.” The total energy of the universe is constant.
(c)
Interpretation:
Two forms of energy involved when crankshaft turns the generator are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Energy is the capacity to do work. The law of conservation of energy states that “energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be converted from one form to another.” The total energy of the universe is constant.
(d)
Interpretation:
Two forms of energy involved when generator charges battery is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Energy is the capacity to do work. The law of conservation of energy states that “energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be converted from one form to another.” The total energy of the universe is constant.

- aIs the process of boiling water exothermic or endothermic with respect to the water? bA charged object is moved closer to another object that has the same charge. The energy of the system changes. Is it a change in kinetic energy or potential energy? Is the energy changes an increase or a decrease?arrow_forwardIn the following equation for a chemical reaction, the notation s, l, or g indicates whether the substance is in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state:2H2S(g)+3O2(g)2H20(g)+2SO2(g)+energy.
