Question
A thermos flask is filled with water. The thermos is shaken for some time due to which the temperature of the water increases. Give reasons. (i) Was work done on water? (ii) Was heat given to water? (iii) Will the internal energy of water increases?

Answer

(1) Yes, because the layers of water have to move relative against the viscous force, hence work was done on the water by an external factors.
(ii) No, because the flask is equipped with a heat insulating covers.
(iii) Yes, because due to increase in temperature, uncontrolled movement of molecules results in kinetic energy and due to thermal expansion of water, intermolecular potential energy increases.
