Theory 1 of thermodynamics: law 1 5. Theory 2 of thermodynamics: law 2 6. Thermo - energy, dynamics - why things move the way they do o. Thermodynamics - how energy moves and why it moves the way it does. Came in the 1800s with the advent of the industrial revolution o. Millions of atoms colliding with each other: gives rise to many forces - gives rise to pressure - temperature. Introduce the large scale or macroscopic variable pressure (p), temperature (t), and volume (v) to understand the behaviour of systems containing many particles. Particles that make up the solids, liquids, and gases around us called atoms and molecules. The internal energy (eint) of a system of a system is the total kinetic and potential energies of the particles in the system. Worried about the kinetic energy associated with the object as the whole. Velocities associated with small scale entities o o.
