HW # 1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1) What is continuum? How is it useful for thermodynamic analysis?
(2) Write the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics and its relation to temperature measurement.
(3) What is the difference between the classical and the statistical approaches to
thermodynamics?
(4) Separate the list P, F, V, v, , T, a, m, L, t and V into intensive, extensive and non-properties.

(5) An electric dip heater is put into a cup of water and heats it from 20oC to 80oC. Show the
energy flow(s) and storage and explain what changes.

(6) When you wind a spring up in a toy or stretch a rubber band what happens in terms of work,
energy and heat transfer? Later when they are released, what happens then?
(7) Write a short note on the physical insight to internal energy.
(8) Why do we write E or E2 E1 whereas we write 1Q2 and 1W2?
(9) An escalator brings four people of total 300 kg, 25 m up in a building. Explain what happens
with respect to energy transfer and stored energy.
(10) Is density a unique measure of mass distribution in a volume? Does it vary? If so, on what
kind of scale (length)?
