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.

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 fact that usable energy is always lost in an energy transfer is due to the second law of thermodynamics. This law states that entropy, or disorder, tends to increase over time in a closed system, leading to the loss of usable energy in the form of heat.


Which law of thermodynamics states that the heat engine cannot be completely efficient?

True


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 entropy closely related to the 1st law of thermodynamics?

Entropy is closely related to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, not the 1st law. The 1st law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. Entropy, on the other hand, is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system, which increases over time according to the 2nd law of thermodynamics.


How does entropy work in the context of thermodynamics and the second law of thermodynamics?

Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system. In the context of thermodynamics and the second law of thermodynamics, entropy tends to increase over time in isolated systems. This means that energy tends to disperse and become less organized, leading to a decrease in the system's ability to do work. The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of a closed system will always increase or remain constant, but never decrease.

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 are the second law of thermodynamics and Murphys law related?

Actually Murphy's law has been suggested (humorously) as "the fourth law of thermodynamics". It is only peripherally related the the second law. One of the implications of the second law is that an increase in disorder in the universe is a consequence of natural processes. Some have suggested that Murphy's law (If any thing can go wrong, it will.) is an example of this. Strictly speaking - this is quite different from the 2nd law but when someone screws up, it sure does tend to cause a lot of disorder!
