For each of the situations described below, the object considered is undergoing some changes. Among the possible changes you should consider are:
(Q) The object is absorbing or giving off heat.
(T) The object's temperature is changing.
(E) The object's thermal energy is changing.
(W) The object is doing mechanical work or having work done on it.
(C) The objects chemical energy is changing.
For each of the two situations, identify which of the five changes is taking place, indicating the applicable letters Q T U W C (or none) as appropriate while providing your reasoning.
a. An ice cube sits in the open air and is melting.
b. A cylinder with a piston on top contains a compressed gas and is sitting on a thermal reservoir (a large iron block that can provide or take thermal energy as the system needs). After everything has come to thermal equilibrium, the piston is moved upward somewhat (very slowly). The object to be considered is the gas in the cylinder.
