The first law, which deals with changes in the internal energy, thus becomes 0 = Q - W, so Q = W.
If the system does work, the energy comes from heat flowing into the system from the reservoir; if work is done on the system, heat flows out of the system to the reservoir
The process of determining the value of the individual forces acting upon an object involve an application of Newton's second law (Fnet<span>=m. a) and an application of the meaning of the </span>net force<span>.</span>
