... vertical distance h is mgh, so ∆Ug = mgh = (2.5 kg)(9.8 m/s2 )(0.17 m) = 4.19 J = ∆Ug (c) (5 points) As the box slides across the floor and up the ramp, what energy is lost to friction (in Joules)? Solution: Energy lost to friction is the work done against friction, and work is force times distance. ...

... We need to start with a handful of definitions: • A system that is completely isolated from all outside influences is said to be contained in adiabatic walls. We will also refer to such systems as insulated. • Walls that are not adiabatic are said to be diathermal and two systems separated by a diat ...
