It helps to think of work as "transfer of energy". If you do energy on a system, its energy content increases. If the system does work on something else, the system's energy content decreases.

Doing work changes potential energy to kienetic energy because when we do wokrk the particles of our body moves and aquire keinetic energy.(Kienetic energy is the enrgy obtained by a body during motion)

What happens to the internal energy of a system when work is done on it?

If the internal energy of the system increases the temperature will increase.


A energy is?

Energy is the potential to do some work. If there is work done on a system, this work done is stored as potential energy of the system. If the system in motion, it should have kinetic energy. Hence total energy of the system PE+KE


Work done on the system is?

work done on the system: when a surrounding does work on the system the total energy increases so work done is positive..........


What happens to internal energy when mechanical work is done?

Increase.


What is the relationship between heat added to a system and the internal energy and external work done by the system-?

When heat is added to or is absorbed by a system, its internal energy increases. The amount of external work a system can do essentially refers to the amount of energy it can transfer to something else. So when internal energy increases, so does the external work done by the system.


How do you find a fruits energy?

The fruit energy as in commercial is not the form of energy in science. It is more or less a properties that fruit juice affect skin or health through its' mineral and vitamin. If the question is about finding energy content of the fruit, it can be done by analysed the chemical content and calculated out the energy human can use or use form of calorimeter and measure out the energy content of the food.


When negative work is being done what happens to potential energy?

Negative work increases potential energy.


Can work done on a system decrease its thermal energy?

Yes. As an example: if you define a refrigerator as your system, the work done on the system causes heat to be expelled from the system to the surroundings. The net heat expelled will be equal to the work input plus the decrease in its thermal energy.


What the realationsip between work and mechanical energy?

I think it helps to think - informally - of work as the "transfer of energy". Work is said to be done when you apply a force along a certain distance; and energy is required to do this work. The work done on the system may increase the system's potential energy, or - if done against a force of friction - it may increase its heat energy.


If work is don adiabatically on a system will the internal energy increase or decrease?

If work is done adiabatically on a system, the internal energy will increase. This is because adiabatic processes do not involve the exchange of heat with the surroundings, so any work done on the system will directly contribute to an increase in its internal energy.


What happens to energy when work is done?

the worker sticks it up their bosses back hole......!


When mechanical work is done on a system there is an increase in what?

both temperature and internal energy
