The laws of thermodynamics are time-honored principles that describe the behavior of energy. (2) These laws are based on certain observations about the behavior of matter and energy that are remarkably invariable from one instance to the next. (3) Such consistency leads to predictions. (4) What happens, for example, to objects raised above the ground and then released? (5) What happens to an object that is heated and then set aside, away from the heat? (6) Everyone can predict that the first object will fall to the ground and that the second will cool. (7) Such observations, made time and again, have eventually led to the formulation of laws of nature. Question6. What do you imagine will follow this paragraph? a. A description of the effects of heating an object. b. Observations about the nature of energy. c. A description of what makes an object fall or cool. d. An explanation of specific "laws of nature
