Living systems maintain order by transferring entropy to their surroundings, aligning with the Second Law. Looking ahead, we’ll apply energy conservation to fluid flow and electric circuits, drawing parallels to living systems. We’ll also explore momentum conservation and dive into Newton’s Laws to understand forces and motion over time.
