The first law of thermodynamics is concerned with the conservation of ______.
The first law of thermodynamics is consistent with the law of conservation of ______.
Options
momentum
energy
temperature
mass
velocity
Solution 1
The first law of thermodynamics is concerned with the conservation of energy.
Explanation:
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy, and thermodynamic processes are therefore subject to the principle of conservation of energy. This means that heat energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Solution 2
The first law of thermodynamics is consistent with the law of conservation of energy.
