This interaction is given by the first law of thermodynamics, which argues you cannot get more energy out of a system than you put into it. We will see in this chapter how internal energy, heat, and work all play a role in the first law of thermodynamics.

Since Earth and the solar system are roughly 4.5 billion years old, this means that the Sun has been producing vast amounts for energy for a very, very long time. Neither chemical burning nor gravitational contraction can account for the total amount of energy radiated by the Sun during all this time.

      The mechanical energy of the block at position \(A\) is thus: \[\begin{aligned} K_A&=0\\[4pt] U_A&=\frac{1}{2}kD^2\\[4pt] \therefore E_A &= U_A + K_A = \frac{1}{2}kD^2\end{aligned}\] At position \(B\)...The mechanical energy of the block at position \(A\) is thus: \[\begin{aligned} K_A&=0\\[4pt] U_A&=\frac{1}{2}kD^2\\[4pt] \therefore E_A &= U_A + K_A = \frac{1}{2}kD^2\end{aligned}\] At position \(B\), the spring potential energy of the block is zero (since the spring is at rest), and all of the energy is kinetic: \[\begin{aligned} K_B&=\frac{1}{2}mv_B^2\\[4pt] U_B&=0\\[4pt] \therefore E_B &= U_B+K_B=\frac{1}{2}mv_B^2\end{aligned}\] Since there are no non-conservative forces doing work on the b…

For the hand operated jack, the distance the operator of the jack moves their hand in order to operate it is much greater than the distance through which the jack moves against the force of gravity on the car.

Exploiting this fact will allow us to analyze and easily solve many problems in classical mechanics - this conservation law is an immensely useful tool.
