ericcrawford:

anyone?

TheSmartOne:

Uhh it's a quiet time right now so I'll give it a shot. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong I feel like we need to be using the equation \(\Delta\)U = Q - W Where \(\Delta\)U is change in internal energy Q is heat added to the system W is work done by the system Maybe I'm over thinking it Have you learned this formula yet?

it sounds like I have there's just so many formulas, thank you!
