Several cartoon laws of physics violate the First Law of Thermodynamics:
Cartoon Law VI
As speed increases, objects can be in several places at once. This is particularly true of tooth-and-claw fights, in which a character's head may be glimpsed emerging from the cloud of altercation at several places simultaneously. This effect is common as well among bodies that are spinning or being throttled. A `wacky' character has the option of self-replication only at manic high speeds and may ricochet off walls to achieve the velocity required. (violation of conservation of mass)
Cartoon Law Amendment B
The laws of object permanence are nullified for "cool" characters. Characters who are intended to be "cool" can make previously nonexistent objects appear from behind their backs at will. For instance, the Road Runner can materialize signs to express himself without speaking. (violation of conservation of mass)
Cartoon Law Amendment E
Dynamite is spontaneously generated in "C-spaces" (spaces in which cartoon laws hold). The process is analogous to steady-state theories of the universe which postulated that the tensions involved in maintaining a space would cause the creation of hydrogen from nothing. Dynamite quanta are quite large (stick sized) and unstable (lit). Such quanta are attracted to psychic forces generated by feelings of distress in "cool" characters (see Amendment B, which may be a special case of this law), who are able to use said quanta to their advantage. One may imagine C-spaces where all matter and energy result from primal masses of dynamite exploding. A big bang indeed. (violation of conservation of mass & energy)
Of course some cartoon laws of physics DO adhere to the First Law:
Cartoon Law VIII
Any violent rearrangement of feline matter is impermanent. Cartoon cats possess even more deaths than the traditional nine lives might comfortably afford. They can be decimated, spliced, splayed, Accordion-pleated, spindled, or disassembled, but they cannot be destroyed. After a few moments of blinking self pity, they reinflate, elongate, snap back, or solidify. Corollary: A cat will assume the shape of its container. (the mass of the cat is conserved even if it may change form)
Cartoon Law X
For every vengeance there is an equal and opposite revengeance. This is the one law of animated cartoon motion that also applies to the physical world at large. For that reason, we need the relief of watching it happen to a duck instead. (ok - so this is conservation of vengeance, but it you think of vengeance as a form of energy, you get conservation of energy)

James Prescott Joule was a pivotal figure in the field of thermodynamics, best known for his work on the relationship between heat and mechanical work. He established the first law of thermodynamics, demonstrating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. Joule's experiments, particularly those involving the conversion of mechanical energy into heat, led to the formulation of the Joule's law, which quantifies the heat produced by an electric current. His contributions laid the groundwork for the development of modern physics and engineering.
Julius Robert von Mayer was a pioneering German physicist known for his formulation of the law of conservation of energy, which laid the groundwork for the first law of thermodynamics. In 1842, he introduced the concept that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. Mayer also made significant contributions to the understanding of the mechanical equivalent of heat, demonstrating the relationship between work and heat energy. His work helped to establish the field of thermodynamics and influenced future scientific developments.
The first 2D animated full-length feature film from Disney was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the late 30s. Disney's Pixar Studios creates all the rendered CGI 3D animation movies, and it's first release was Toy Story in 1995.
The first law of thermodynamics is also known as the Law of Energy Conservation.
That's related to the First Law of Thermodynamics - the Law of Conservation of Energy.
That law is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy. It is also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics.
Not exactly. The first law of thermodynamics, i.e. the law of conservation of energy, also accounts for heat as one of the many forms that energy can take. There is no one law called "the law of thermodynamics", but there are several "Laws of Thermodynamics" (note the plural form "LAWS").
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system; it can only change forms. This law is also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy.
The 1st Law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.
Another name for the first law of thermodynamics is the law of energy conservation.
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.
Yes. There are no known exceptions - otherwise it would not be considered a law
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. This is directly related to the law of conservation of energy, which states that the total energy in a closed system remains constant. In essence, the first law of thermodynamics is a specific application of the broader principle of conservation of energy.
Another name for the Law of Conservation of Energy is the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
zeroth law forms the basis for first law of thermodynamics
