For Quiz 1 Prep Winter 2014, question 2 seems tricky in the sense that
where volume is constant and since
with v=0, then w=0 .
So in the end you will have
which is +2.50kJ.
Is this the correct thought process behind this?
Internal Energy with Constant Volume

Re: Internal Energy with Constant Volume
Yes, that's the reasoning behind it! Since volume is constant, there's no change in volume, thus work=0 and change in internal energy=q+w=q+0=q=+2.50kJ
