The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics tells us...

Heat flows randomly, it's a 50/50 coin flip

Heat doesn't flow, temperature flows.

The first law of thermodynamics tells us...

The amount of heat put into a system is the amount of energy that system gains.

Absolute Zero cannot be reached

When you place the metal in boiling water, heat flows from the _________ to the _______.

bottom of the metal to the top half of the metal

bottom of the water to the top of the water

the amount of heat/energy required to raise 1 gram of a substance by 1°C (or K) aka "C"

the temperature initial minus temperature final

the temperature final minus temperature initial

the item in a system with given weight in grams

Which best describes ENTROPY?

Random energy that escapes from the system

Useful heat energy needed to drive an engine

Heat that can be stored to be used at a later date

A state of order in a physical system

W hich statement is true about the ENTROPY?

Entropy refers to DISORDER, the unusable energy that escapes a system.

Entropy refers to the balance of temperature among two or more systems.

Entropy refers to the average kinetic energy of the molecules.

Entropy refers to the inability to destroy or create energy.

Which will most likely occur when raw egg is placed on black pavement o n a hot, summer day?

The pavement will conduct the heat and cook the egg.

The egg will reflect the heat and make the pavement hotter underneath.

The egg will absorb the heat and leave the pavement h otter underneath.

The pavement will absorb the heat from the egg, and the egg will stay raw.
