The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that "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.
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.
True
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.
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.
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.
The "zeroeth" law defines thermal equilibrium. It also helps define the concept of temperature. Both of these are prerequisite assumptions and/or concepts that the first and second laws depend on.
"Unavailable for doing work" is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Second Law of Thermodynamics
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.
True
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.
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.
The second law does not allow complete conversion of heat into work.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics.
The second law of thermodynamics states that a system with no energy input and no energy losses will tend toward dissolution.
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.
