Introduction:
Answer to Problem 1FIB
Correct answer:
According to the first law of thermodynamics, energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Energy occurs in two major forms: kinetic, the energy of movement, and potential or stored energy.
Explanation of Solution
“According to the first law of thermodynamics, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed”. As it is transformed from one form to another. There are two forms of energy such as kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is a type of energy production during movement. It involves radiant energy, heat or thermal energy. Potential energy is a form of stored energy. It involves elastic energy which is stored in a compressed string.
“First law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed” and it is of two forms such as kinetic and potential energy.
