AP Physics 2
9.4 The First Law of Thermodynamics
9.2 The Ideal Gas Law

| Step | Process Type | \(\Delta U\text{ (J)}\) | \(W\text{ (J)}\) | \(Q\text{ (J)}\) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| \(1 \to 2\) | Isobaric expansion | \(+900\) | \(-600\) | \(Q_{1\to 2}\) |
| \(2 \to 3\) | Isochoric cooling | \(-900\) | \(0\) | \(-900\) |
| \(3 \to 4\) | Isobaric compression | \(-300\) | \(W_{3\to 4}\) | \(-500\) |
| \(4 \to 1\) | Isochoric heating | \(+300\) | \(0\) | \(+300\) |
| Cycle | Complete cycle | \(\Delta U_{\text{net}}\) | \(W_{\text{net}}\) | \(Q_{\text{net}}\) |
Which of the following correctly identifies the values of \(Q_{1\to 2}\), \(W_{3\to 4}\), and \(W_{\text{net}}\)?
