In any process energy is conserved, i.e. it is neither created nor destroyed; it just changes form.

In any process some energy will be lost as heat; you can't convert all energy from a source into useful work.

What is a 2nd law of energy?

You must be referring to the two Laws of Thermodynamics. Stated in terms of energy: 1. The First Law of Thermodynamics is the Law of Conservation of Energy, meaning that energy can not be created or destroyed. 2. However, useful energy is continuously being converted into unusable energy. This is irreversible. This is the Second Law of Thermodynamics.


Can you use thermodynamic in a sentence?

There are three laws of thermodynamics, not inlcluding the understood fourth law. Thermodynamics is the study of how energy is transferred in a system.


What are the first and second laws of thermodynamics explain how energy flows through the rainforest?

The First Law of Thermodynamics: (Conservation) Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, merely changing from one form to another. The second law of Thermodynamics: In all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves the system, the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state. This is also commonly referred to as entropy. I would imagine that energy flows through a rain forest - as it does in any other location!


The life and death of cells are governed by?

The laws of thermodynamics - energy can be exchanged through physical systems as heat and/or work.


Would nuclear fusion break the laws of thermodynamics?

I can't answer that but I have asked myself this question; how can you get out more energy than you put in?

Thermodynamics


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").


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.

Why environment keeps on changing with time?

Because of the energy flow though it and the laws of thermodynamics and evolution.
