Description: Energy: Capacity to change the position, physical composition, or temperature of matter – a force that can accomplish work There are different forms of energy: Potential energy = energy of position Kinetic energy = energy of motion Chemical energy = potential energy held in the bonds between atoms Energy: can change from one form to another 1. First law of thermodynamics It can not be created or destroyed, thus the total energy in the universe remains constant 2. Second law of thermodynamics The nature of the energy will change from a more ordered state to a less-ordered state, if not force counteracts this Entropy = systems tend to move toward increasingly disorder Picture Stats: Views: 412 Filesize: 130.86kB Height: 777 Width: 1312 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=35607 |
