THE IDEAL GAS
• the total kinetic energy before the collision is equal to the total
kinetic energy after the collision
• It does not deform the objects permanently, but inelastic
collisions can deform objects permanently
• It does not create any heat or sound, but inelastic collisions
always emit energy in some form
• are not present in nature, but inelastic collisions are present4

V= volume [] or [] 1 =
T= temperature [K]

A butcher for the local Chinese restaurant needs to defrost a large
chunk of beef, which weights 25 kg and is currently at 0 C°. He
wants to accomplish this by repeatedly drop it onto the ground.
Suppose the potential energy of the meat completely transforms
into heat each time it hits the ground, and that energy can be
calculated from V=mgΔh, where m is mass of the object, g is the
acceleration of gravity, and Δh is change in height.
If the man is 1.7 m tall and he wants to get the meat to room
temperature (25C°), calculate:
• how many times does he have to drop the piece of meat?
Assume the environment has no effect on the meat, and that it
does not lose any heat. (Specific Heat of the Meat: 0.25 J/gC°).

EXERCISE 2 - Problem
Gasoline vapor is injected into the cylinder of an automobile engine when the piston is
in its expanded position.
The temperature, pressure, and volume of the resulting gas-air mixture
are 20°C, 1.00× Pa, and 240 , respectively.
The mixture is then compressed adiabatically to a volume of 40 . Note that in the
actual operation of an automobile engine, the compression is not quasi-static,
although we are making that assumption here.
a) Design the adiabatic compression graph.
b) What are the pressure and temperature of the mixture after the compression?
c) How much work is done by the mixture during the compression?
