Self test for matter: Energy
Choose the correct answer for each question.
 

1. Which of the following equations is correct?
(E.gif = change in total energy of the object, W = work done on the object, Q = heat absorbed by the object)
W = E.gif + Q
Q = E.gif + W
E.gif = W + Q
W = E.gif + Q / 2
None of the above

2. Calculate the work done on a gas if one mole of the gas is heated and expanded from 24 litres to 25.2 litres at a pressure of 1.5 atm?
1.8 J
-1.8 J
181.8 J
-181.8 J
181800 J

0.36 MJ
139.8 MJ
140.2 MJ

9. Which of the following statements is correct?
Energy on the earth is conserved and reusable
Energy on the earth is conserved but keep on degrading
Energy on the earth is not conserved because we are using up energy
Energy on the earth is not conserved because we extract new energy resources
Energy on the earth is not conserved because the earth is not a closed system

10. Which of the following energy resources does not come indirectly from the sun?
Petroleum
