Question

Which statement relates most directly to the second law?

Answer 1

Statement three i do believe

Answer 2

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to second law of thermodynamics, all the energy of a system cannot be converted into useful work because some amount of energy will be lost.

For example, a machine will never convert its energy into 100% work as some of the energy of machine will be lost into the atmosphere.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement some thermal energy is lost and some is used to do work, relates most directly to the second law.
