5 (a) Energy transferred
= Pt = 5  0.5 = 2.5 kW h
(b) Energy transferred
= Pt = 5  1000  30  60 = 9  106 J
6 Power of the heater
= = = 1000 W

7 (a) The statement is incorrect.
Temperature accounts for the average
kinetic energy of the molecules in an
object, while internal energy is the sum
of the kinetic and potential energy of all
the molecules in an object. A drop of hot
water has a higher temperature than the
water in an ocean, but the ocean has
more internal energy than the drop of hot
water since it contains much more
molecules.
(b) The statement is incorrect.
Heat always flows from a body with
higher temperature to a body with lower
temperature. However, an object having
more internal energy does not mean that
it has a higher temperature.
