What is the first law of thermodynamics and what are some examples?
Can you explain to me what is the first law of thermodynamics and give me some examples?
The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed or transferred. An example of this is when a ball is thrown into the air, the potential energy it possesses while stationary on the ground is converted into kinetic energy as it moves upward. When it reaches its maximum height, the kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy before it falls back down to the ground.
