The second law of thermodynamics states essentially that it is impossible for heat to flow from a cooler body to a hotter one, without the performance of work by an external agency. I'm not sure how this relates to your wording of 'matter and energy'.

What is the need of the second law of thermodynamics?
Second law of thermodynamics used for prove of process reversibility, it provide the concept of system loss capability to perform work. Second law of thermodynamics is an effective tools to debunked pseudo-science in the field of perpetual energy (perpetual magnetic generator) and hoax energy saving scam.
What is a 2nd law of energy?
You must be referring to the two Laws of Thermodynamics. Stated in terms of energy: 1. The First Law of Thermodynamics is the Law of Conservation of Energy, meaning that energy can not be created or destroyed. 2. However, useful energy is continuously being converted into unusable energy. This is irreversible. This is the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
What law of thermodynamics accounts for the other 75 units of energy?
The way that the question is worded it is impossible to be sure exactly what you are looking for, but as a reasonable guess, you are looking for what happens to energy that is not producing useful work. The second law of thermodynamics generally tells us that we can never get 100% efficiency, i.e. we can never convert all the energy we are using into useful work. Some of the energy will just go into increasing the entropy of the universe.
What are the first and second laws of thermodynamics explain how energy flows through the rainforest?
The First Law of Thermodynamics: (Conservation) Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, merely changing from one form to another. The second law of Thermodynamics: In all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves the system, the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state. This is also commonly referred to as entropy. I would imagine that energy flows through a rain forest - as it does in any other location!
What law of thermodynamics is unavailable for doing work?
"Unavailable for doing work" is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Which would mean that the energy in an isolated system would remain constant law of conservation of matter 1st law of thermodynamics second law of thermodynamics or the atomic theory of matter?
The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy of an isolated system is constant.
Why the first and second law of thermodynamics may be states you can not get ahead and you can not break even?
According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.
Is dark energy and dark matter killing the universe?
No. What is killing the Universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
What law of thermodynamics tracks 'quality' of energy?
second law
The fact that usable energy is always lost in an energy transfer is due to what 1 Newton's first law of motion 2 the second law of thermodynamics 3 Newton's second law of motion 4 the first l?
The second law of thermodynamics.
Can energy be regenerated?
According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, once energy is wasted, it is gone forever - useful energy has become unusable energy.According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, once energy is wasted, it is gone forever - useful energy has become unusable energy.According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, once energy is wasted, it is gone forever - useful energy has become unusable energy.According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, once energy is wasted, it is gone forever - useful energy has become unusable energy.
What is universal law of energy?
There is no commonly accepted law by that name, as far as I know. Two important laws about energy are the First Law of Thermodynamics and the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
How does energy efficiency relate to the first and second law of thermodynamics?
By the first law of thermodynamics, energy is conserved - i.e. the sum of the useful work and the energy lost to heat will equal the energy you started with. The second law states that you will never get 100% energy efficiency.
What law of thermodynamics says everything is running down?
The second law of thermodynamics states that a system with no energy input and no energy losses will tend toward dissolution.
Which law is Some energy is released as unusable heat energy into the environment?
The closest law is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Note that not necessarily "most" energy will be converted to unusable heat, but it is almost inevitable that some will.
This law states that all energy tends to become disorganized?
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
In what way is aging an example of the second law of thermodynamics?
Aging is an example of the second law of thermodynamics because everyone ages, no matter what. It is a law that states every living being must adhere to it.
