Re: CONSERVATION OF ENERGY



Would you be happy with this statement of the first law:

"The change in the thermal energy of a system is the sum of
the heat that flows into it and that part of the work that
is done on it that does not appear as a change in the
kinetic energy of the center of mass of the system"

eh? (No, I haven't gone native; I just didn't know how to
get the "?" into the sentence!)
