ethan made a diagram to compare examples of the first and
second laws of thermodynamics.
what belongs in the areas marked x and y?
o
first law of
thermodynamics
second law of
thermodynamics
x: the internal energy of a piston system increases as
heat is added and rises to a cool area
y: as thermal energy is added to a container, some of the
energy is lost to the environment
x: as thermal energy is added to a container, some of the

y: the internal energy of a piston system increases as
heat is added and rises to a cool area
x: a cold noon placed in hot liquid gets warmer
y: thermal energy is converted to light energy
