For a gas at finite pressure, the processes which increase the internal energy of a gas are:

A mass attached to a horizontal spring is displaced from it’s equilibrium position value by 0.1 m, and then released. It then oscillates back and forth about it’s equilibrium position (i.e. it vibrates). While vibrating, the mass undergoes 20 complete oscillations over 5 seconds.  What is the frequency of oscillation in SI units?

A metal sphere initially holds no charge.  A glass wand has +2 C on it’s tip, and it is brought into proximity of the metal sphere.  The metal sphere has no electrical contact or connection with the wand or anything else through the process.  Which best describes what will happen to the sphere?

With a force F acting on a mass, acting over time interval t, and over a displacement magnitude d in the direction of the force, the change in an object’s momentum is:

A cyclist is riding on a country road, down a huge hill into the holler. Which is true of the cyclist’s potential energy?

If an airplane manufacturer doubles the area of each window in a model, which describes the effect of the force on a window from air pressure?

A 5kg and a 10kg are free-falling near the Earth’s surface, with the Earth’s gravitational force the only force acting.  Which is true?

The atomic mass of a He atom is 4.  What is the mass of 3 x 10^23 atoms of such atoms in kg?

Which most closely describes refraction?

A ball initially has velocity in the positive direction.  It is struck by a bat, and reverses direction with the same speed.  Which is true of the CHANGE in the ball’s momentum over the interval it is struck by the bat?
