    Explanation:

    The air inside a bicycle tire pump has 27 joules of heat conducted away. By convention, when heat is released, it takes the negative sign, so Q = - 27 J.

    77.9 joules of work done are being done on the air inside a bicycle tire pump. By convention, when work is being done on the system, it takes the positive sign, so W = 77.9 J

    We can calculate the change in the internal energy (ΔU) using the following expression.

    ΔU = Q + W

    ΔU = (-27 J) + 77.9 J

    ΔU = 51 J
