The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the first law of thermodynamics, which states that the change in internal energy (ΔU) of a system is equal to the heat added to the system (Q) minus the work done by the system (W). The formula can be expressed as: \[ \Delta U = Q - W \] Where: - ΔU = Change in internal energy - Q = Heat added to the system - W = Work done by the system In this case, we need to find the magnitude of work done on the system, which can be rearranged from the equation above: \[ W = Q - \Delta U \] ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Heat provided to the system (Q) = 50 Joules - Change in internal energy (ΔU) = 60 Joules 2. **Substitute the values into the equation**: \[ W = Q - \Delta U \] \[ W = 50 \, \text{J} - 60 \, \text{J} \] 3. **Calculate the work done**: \[ W = 50 \, \text{J} - 60 \, \text{J} = -10 \, \text{J} \] 4. **Interpret the result**: The negative sign indicates that work is done on the system. However, since the question asks for the magnitude of work done, we take the absolute value: \[ \text{Magnitude of work done} = |W| = 10 \, \text{J} \] ### Final Answer: The magnitude of work done on the system is **10 Joules**.
