What is internal energy? How is the formula for this determined?
That makes sense. Can you give me an example of how this formula works in real life?
Sure. Let's take the example of a gas inside a container. The internal energy of the gas will depend on factors such as the temperature, pressure, and volume of the gas. As the gas molecules move and collide with each other and the walls of the container, their kinetic energy changes, which in turn affects the internal energy of the gas. The potential energy of the gas also changes as the distance between the molecules changes due to collisions and other interactions.
