Are you referring to the laws of thermodynamics?

If so, the first law is the law of conservation which states that energy is neither created nor lost, it only changes form. The second law is the law of entropy which very simply put states that heat will flow to cool areas and even itself out.

What are the two ways energy is transferred to absorbers?

Energy can be transferred to absorbers through radiation, where energy is emitted in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light. Energy can also be transferred through conduction, where heat is directly transferred through physical contact between objects of different temperatures.


How is friction different from the laws of conservation of energy?

Friction is a force that resists relative motion between two surfaces, leading to energy loss in the form of heat. The laws of conservation of energy state that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed from one form to another. Friction causes energy to be dissipated, leading to a loss of mechanical energy in a system.


What are two ways that energy can be transferred between objects?

The transfer of energy from one object to another varies as the type of energy being transferred. If we consider billiards, we see the kinetic (mechanical) energy of one ball transferred to another by contact. The transfer of thermal energy can be accomplished via conduction, convection or radiation. There is more, but specific answers require specific questions. Additionally, conservation laws apply in all cases.
