What does the First Law of Thermodynamics state?

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

Energy can be created or destroyed.

Energy is always lost in a system.

Energy is always gained in a system.

How does the First Law of Thermodynamics apply to power plants?

It drives turbines to generate electricity.

It converts heat into chemical energy.

It creates energy from nothing.

Diagram of a heat engine showing the flow of heat and work.

A diagram with arrows indicating heat input, work output, and heat rejection.

A diagram showing only the work output without heat flow.

A diagram with arrows indicating only heat input and no work output.

A diagram showing the flow of electricity instead of heat.

How does the First Law of Thermodynamics apply to a steam engine?

It converts heat energy into mechanical work, with some energy lost as waste heat.

It converts mechanical work into heat energy, losing no energy.

It creates energy from nothing, demonstrating energy creation.

It stores energy without any conversion or loss.

What does the Second Law of Thermodynamics state about heat flow?

Heat flows naturally from hot to cold objects.

Heat flows naturally from cold to hot objects.

Heat does not flow naturally between objects.

Heat flows naturally from hot to hot objects.

What is one application of the Second Law of Thermodynamics in refrigerators?

To reverse the natural heat flow and maintain cool temperatures inside.

To increase the natural heat flow.

To convert heat directly into electricity.

To maintain constant heat flow.

Why can't a heat engine be 100% efficient according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics?

Because there is always unavoidable heat loss.

Because heat engines can convert all heat into work.

Because heat engines do not require energy input.

Because heat engines operate without any heat flow.

Why can't a heat engine be 100% efficient?

It violates the second law of thermodynamics.

It violates the first law of thermodynamics.

It violates the law of conservation of energy.

It violates the principle of entropy.

Why can't a heat engine be 100% efficient?

Because the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that some energy is always lost as waste heat during the conversion process.

Because the First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Because heat engines are designed to be inefficient.

Because energy is always completely converted into work.
