Newtons Laws And The Laws Of Thermodynamics

Front

What is the Law of Entropy?

Back

The Law of Entropy states that in an isolated system, the degree of disorder (entropy) tends to increase over time. For example, ice (organized molecules) melts into water (random molecules).

Front

What is Net External Force?

Back

Net External Force is the total force acting on an object, calculated by summing all the individual external forces.

Front

State Newton's Second Law of Motion.

Back

Force = Mass * Acceleration.

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is Absolute Zero?

Back

Absolute Zero is the lowest possible temperature, where all molecular motion stops.

Front

Define Newton's First Law of Motion.

Back

An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.

Front

What is Thermodynamics?

Back

Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy.

Front

What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?

Back

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

Explain the concept of kinetic energy.

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion, calculated as KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy.
