Thermodynamics
The study of thermal energy.
What is Thermodynamics?
Your bedroom, 5 days after it is perfectly cleaned, may be a example of this law because it is moving towards disorder.
What is an example of The Second Law of Thermodynamics?
When ice melts in your hand.
What is an example of conduction?
Energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed. They can only change from one type of energy to another.
What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?
An incandescent lightbulb represents this law because the bulb converts electrical energy into light and heat energy.
What is an example of the First Law of Thermodynamics?
A metal spoon is in hot coffee and becomes warm.
What is an example of conduction?
As entropy approaches its minimum and it's cooled toward absolute zero, it becomes less disorganized.
What is the Third Law of Thermodynamics?
Feeling the warmth of a fire, without touching the flames.
What is an example of radiation?
Also known as the law of entropy, this law states that the universe (natural processes) is becoming more disordered. Heat flows from hot to cold, never spontaneously from cold to hot.
What is the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
Photosynthesis represents this law because plants convert light energy from the sun to chemical energy.
What is an example of the First Law of Thermodynamics?
When heat travels from the sun and warms the earth.
What is an example of radiation?
Objects in equilibrium don't transfer heat energy to each other.
What is Zeroth Law?
When warm food is placed in the fridge and eventually reaches the same temperature as the fridge (it's in equilibrium).
What is an example of Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics.
When hot air rises and cold air sinks.
What is an example of convection?
