0th law of thermodynamics

If object A is in thermal equilibriumĀ with object B, and B is n thermal equilibriumĀ with objectĀ C, then A and C are also in thermal equlibrium

2
New cards

0th law of thermodynamics is like...

A thermometer

3
New cards

1st law of thermodynamics

A change in internal energy of a system is equal to the energy transferred to the system by heat minus work

4
New cards

1st law of thermodynamics is like...

An equation (ΔU = Q - W)

5
New cards

2nd law of thermodynamics

In a closed system, total entropy in the system cannot decrease over time

6
New cards

2nd law of thermodynamics is like…

Heat naturally goes hot → cold… perpetual motion machines are impossible

7
New cards

3rd law of thermodynamics

As the temperatureĀ of a system approachesĀ absolute zero, entropy reached a constant minimum value

8

26
New cards

Newton’s 1st law normal version

In an inertial reference frame, an object in motion or at rest remains that way unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced outside net force

27
New cards

Newton’s 2nd law normal version

Acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass

28
New cards

Inertia is…

A property of an object to resist changes to. its motion

29
New cards

Mass is…

A measurement of a property of matter called inertia

30

Weight is…

The force of gravity on an object

31
New cards

Newton’s 2nd law normal version equation

Ī£F = ma (ITS NET FORCE DON’T FORGET THE SIGN)

32
New cards

Newton’s 3rd law normal version

For every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction

fs, max = šœ‡sN

37
New cards

Hooke’s law or spring force equation

Fs = -kx

38
New cards

What is conduction?

Direct physical contact as vibrating atoms and molecules bump into others and transfer kinetic energy

39
New cards

What is thermal conductivity?

How easily an object conducts or loses heat

40
New cards

Thermal conductivity is like…

Metal and steel is high, wood and plastic is low, kinda like how much they cost
