1. James Joule and the mechanical equivalent of heat
Joule knew a mass above the ground had potential energy. He dropped an object on a cord, turning a paddle in water monitored by a very accurate thermometer.
His conclusion was to connect energy conservation (potential and kinetic) to heat as a third form observed.

2. Specific heat
A specific heat value reveals how much temperature will change when a given amount of a substance absorbs a given amount of heat.
Water is a “benchmark” as one ml of water will absorb 1 cal of heat to raise its temperature by 1oC.

10. Hot pot
A heavy copper pot of mass 2 kg is at temperature of 150C. You pour 0.1 kg of water at 25C into the pot then quickly close the lid so no steam can escape. Find the final temperature of the pot and its contents and determine the phase (liquid or gas) of the water. Assume no heat is lost to the surroundings.

11. Why, and how well, do materials transfer heat?
Conduction: heat transfer within a body or between two bodies in contact.
Convection: heat transfer through movement of mass from one place to another
Radiation: heat transfer by electromagnetic radiation

15. Does the path of the PV change matter?
The start, the finish, and the shape of the curve are all significant.

16. Compressed air
A compressed air cartridge at a starting pressure of p1 = 50 atm and starting volume V1 = 5 cm3 is put into an empty, sealed balloon. It pops and causes the balloon to expand to 10 times the volume of the cartridge, V2.
Assuming the air undergoes an isothermal expansion and behaves like an ideal gas, draw the pV diagram of this process.
What is the final pressure of the balloon?
Two other ways different than the first method 1) of inflating the balloon to the same final volume are 2) a constant pressure p1 = 50 atm inflates the balloon from V1 to V2 or 3) a constant pressure p2 (calculated above) inflates the balloon from V1 to V2. Draw pV diagrams and rank the work done by the expanding air for the three cases of isothermal expansion.
