 ENERGY - Is the capacity to do work.

 GENERAL FORMS OF ENERGY
 Kinetic Energy – energy possessed by moving objects.
Formula: KE = mv2/2
 Potential Energy – energy possessed by an object due to its position and commonly known as energy at rest.
Formula: PE = mgh = mgs

 LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION - Any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their
masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
m1 m2
Formula: Fg = G

 THERMODYNAMICS - in physics is a branch that deals with heat, work and temperature, and their relation to energy, radiation and physical properties
of matter.
 FOUR TYPES OF THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES
1. Adiabatic Process – A process where no heat transfer into or out of the system occurs.
2. Isochoric Process – A process where no change in volume occurs and the system does no work.
3. Isobaric Process – A process in which no change in pressure occurs.
4. Isothermal Process – A process in which no change in temperature occurs.
 LAWS OF THERMO DYNAMICS
1. The Zeroth law of thermodynamics - states that if two bodies are individually in equilibrium with a separate third body, then the first two
bodies are also in thermal equilibrium with each other.
2. First law of thermodynamics (also known as the law of conservation of energy) - states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed,
but it can be changed from one form to another.
3. Second law of thermodynamics - states that the heat always moves from hotter objects to colder objects unless energy in some form is
supplied to reverse the direction of heat flow and that the entropy in an isolated system always increases. Any isolated system
spontaneously evolves towards thermal equilibrium—the state of maximum entropy of the system. The amount of entropy is also a
measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system.

Third law of thermodynamics - states that the entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero
