a closed system stores 500 joules of energy. the system is not used for accessed. how much energy will it have one month later? how do you know?

In classical physics terms, you do work on an object when you exert a force on the object causing it to move some distance. The amount of work you actually do may have little relationship to the amount of effort you apply. For example, if you push on a car stuck in a snow drift, you may exert a lot of force (and effort) but if the car does not budge, you have not done any work! In order for work to be done on an object, the object must move some distance as a result of the force you apply. There are also constraints on the force you apply. Only force exerted in the same direction as the movement of the object result in work. You may think that you do a lot of work if you carry an arm full of books from home to school. In reality you do no work at all! In carrying the stack of books, you exert an upward force to hold the books so they don't fall to the ground. There is no movement associated with this force. As you walk, the motion of the books is horizontal not vertical. Since the force applied to the books is vertical, and the motion is horizontal, you do not do any work on the books.

Work is a transfer of energy so work is done on an object when you transfer energy to that object. The amount of work done on an object depends on the amount of force exerted on the object and the amount of distance the object moves.

Work = Force x Distance

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force on an object is dependent on the mass of the object, and its acceleration during the movement.

Force = Mass x Acceleration

The common unit of force is the Newton (N). One Newton is the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second.

1 N = 1kg m/s2

The amount of work done to push a 10,000 N car a distance of 10 meters would be

10,000 N x 10 m = 100,000 N m or 100,000 J

The Newton-meters are termed joules (J). The joule is named after James Prescott Joule (1818-1889) who first calculated the amount of electrical work needed to produce a unit of heat. In his experiments, Joule discovered that the same amount of heat was produced by the same amount of either electrical or mechanical work ("the mechanical equivalent of heat").

explanation:

earth's surface is mainly heated by the absorption of infrared radiation from the sun.

evaporation occurs because molecules in liquid water are warmed ( usually by the sun) and vibrate quicker, becoming less dense and rise.

condensation occurs because molecules in water vapor are cooled and therefore vibrate more slowly thus becoming more dense and eventually fall to earth.

lines of equal barometric pressure on a weather map are called: isobars : lines of equal temp on a weather map are called: isotherms.​
