Uncategorized: Practice Problem & Solution

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Uncategorized. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

In an adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged with the surroundings ($\Delta Q = 0$). From the first law of thermodynamics, $\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$, which gives $\Delta U = -\Delta W$.
