1/30 - Laws of Thermodynamics

Today we spoke about the laws of thermodynamics and work. We talked about a number of equations that we will be using over the course of this section:
W = KE + PE
W = H * J
where J is the Joule constant = 4.18 J/Cal
KE = 1/2 m*v^2
and the Equation for equilibrium. When we were going over the equation for equilibrium, we spoke about a website that you could go to in order to practice the conversions. That website is:
