A chair is at rest on the floor. The chair absorbs thermal energy from the floor, and begins moving spontaneously with kinetic e
nergy equal to the thermal energy absorbed. This process violates ___________. A- Both the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamicsB- Only the 1st law of thermodynamicsC- Neither the 1st nor the 2nd law of thermodynamicsD- Only the 2nd law of thermodynamics
It violates 2nd law because according to 2nd law of thermodynamics, it is impossible that the sole result of a process is is to absorb energy and do equivalent amount of work. so some heat must lose to surrounding which is not specified here. so it violates 2nd law.
