How is internal energy affected when water is boiled?

AI Thread Summary
When water is boiled, its internal energy increases as it transitions from cold to hot, directly correlating with the rise in temperature. This increase in internal energy is associated with the kinetic energy of water molecules, which move more rapidly at higher temperatures. As the temperature rises, the properties of water change, affecting its molecular bonds and interactions. The boiling process continues until the maximum temperature is reached, at which point the water transitions to steam. Understanding these changes is crucial for grasping the thermodynamic principles involved in boiling water.

Well , internal energy of the water increases - as internal energy of a body is directly linked to the temperature of the said body .

Hope this helps.

Dear friends! What physically is happening when 1.Internal energy is increasing 2.After internal energy has increased?
?
Does anything happen to bonds?
At different levels of temperature properties must be changing until maximum possible temperature.

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Average velocity as a weighted mean'

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
