Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the first law of thermodynamics?
  • Step 1: Understand that energy is a property that can exist in different forms, like heat, light, or motion.
  • Step 2: Learn that the first law of thermodynamics is also known as the law of energy conservation.
  • Step 3: Realize that this law means energy cannot just appear or disappear.
  • Step 4: Know that energy can only change from one form to another, like turning chemical energy in food into kinetic energy when you move.
  • Step 5: Remember that the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant, even if it changes forms.
