    Please help me with this I’m having trouble
    Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct? Thermal energy with some effort, can only be partially converted to mechanical energy. If a system's work is positive, work is done to the system; work done by the system is negative. N. For a closed system operating adiabatically, work is obtained from the direct conversion of internal energy of the fluid to work. Work or mechanical energy can spontaneously be converted to heat.
    True or false flow systems involve the movement of materials energy information people or goods
