Exam points

  • link work done by stirring to an increase in the internal energy of water
  • calculate internal energy change from thermal capacity and temperature change

2.2.2.1—A rise in the temperature of an object question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

In a famous experiment, a scientist showed that, when water in an insulated tub is stirred, its temperature increases.

What can be concluded from this experiment?

A

Temperature is a store of energy.

B

The water absorbs heat from the surroundings.

C

Work done by stirring increases the internal energy of the water.

D

Energy is not conserved.
