Several cartoon laws of physics violate the First Law of Thermodynamics:

Cartoon Law VI

As speed increases, objects can be in several places at once. This is particularly true of tooth-and-claw fights, in which a character's head may be glimpsed emerging from the cloud of altercation at several places simultaneously. This effect is common as well among bodies that are spinning or being throttled. A `wacky' character has the option of self-replication only at manic high speeds and may ricochet off walls to achieve the velocity required. (violation of conservation of mass)

Cartoon Law Amendment B

The laws of object permanence are nullified for "cool" characters. Characters who are intended to be "cool" can make previously nonexistent objects appear from behind their backs at will. For instance, the Road Runner can materialize signs to express himself without speaking. (violation of conservation of mass)

Cartoon Law Amendment E

Dynamite is spontaneously generated in "C-spaces" (spaces in which cartoon laws hold). The process is analogous to steady-state theories of the universe which postulated that the tensions involved in maintaining a space would cause the creation of hydrogen from nothing. Dynamite quanta are quite large (stick sized) and unstable (lit). Such quanta are attracted to psychic forces generated by feelings of distress in "cool" characters (see Amendment B, which may be a special case of this law), who are able to use said quanta to their advantage. One may imagine C-spaces where all matter and energy result from primal masses of dynamite exploding. A big bang indeed. (violation of conservation of mass & energy)

Of course some cartoon laws of physics DO adhere to the First Law:

Cartoon Law VIII

Any violent rearrangement of feline matter is impermanent. Cartoon cats possess even more deaths than the traditional nine lives might comfortably afford. They can be decimated, spliced, splayed, Accordion-pleated, spindled, or disassembled, but they cannot be destroyed. After a few moments of blinking self pity, they reinflate, elongate, snap back, or solidify. Corollary: A cat will assume the shape of its container. (the mass of the cat is conserved even if it may change form)

Cartoon Law X

For every vengeance there is an equal and opposite revengeance. This is the one law of animated cartoon motion that also applies to the physical world at large. For that reason, we need the relief of watching it happen to a duck instead. (ok - so this is conservation of vengeance, but it you think of vengeance as a form of energy, you get conservation of energy)

Which law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?

That law is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy. It is also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics.


What law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created or destroyed?

The First Law of Thermodynamics.


What law says that energy cannot be created or destroyed only changed?

It is called the First Law of Thermodynamics, sometimes also called The Law of conservation of energy.


What law of thermodynamics states that different forms of energy can be converted into one another?

That's related to the First Law of Thermodynamics - the Law of Conservation of Energy.


Of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation?

The 1st Law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.


When the law of conversation of energy is applied to heat it is known as the law of thermodynamics?

Not exactly. The first law of thermodynamics, i.e. the law of conservation of energy, also accounts for heat as one of the many forms that energy can take. There is no one law called "the law of thermodynamics", but there are several "Laws of Thermodynamics" (note the plural form "LAWS").


The first law of thermodynamics is related to the conservation of which quantity?

Yes. There are no known exceptions - otherwise it would not be considered a law


The fact that usable energy is always lost in an energy transfer is due to what 1 Newton's first law of motion 2 the second law of thermodynamics 3 Newton's second law of motion 4 the first l?

The second law of thermodynamics.


What is universal law of energy?

There is no commonly accepted law by that name, as far as I know. Two important laws about energy are the First Law of Thermodynamics and the Second Law of Thermodynamics.


What is another name for the first law of Thermodynamics?

Law of inertia


Which would mean that the energy in an isolated system would remain constant law of conservation of matter 1st law of thermodynamics second law of thermodynamics or the atomic theory of matter?

The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy of an isolated system is constant.


The first law of thermodynamics deals with this concept of energy?

The First Law of Thermodynamics is the Law of Conservation of Energy. There is a quantity, called energy, which does not change (in a closed system). There are several types of energy, and it is possible to convert from one type of energy to another; but never will the total energy change.
