5.9. In the figure is shown the Otto cycle. Paths A and C are adiabatic (Q = 0), and paths B
and D are at constant volume (V = 0). Consider the working substance of this engine
to be an ideal gas. For each path, indicate on the chart below whether the work W done
on the gas is positive (+), negative (-), or zero (0). Also indicate the sign of the net
work for the entire cycle. Repeat for the heat Q put into the gas, and the change of
internal energy Eint of the gas. Now, using your completed chart, answer the following
question. Is the work done on the gas along path A positive, negative, or zero? You only
get one try answering this question.
