Sure! Here are the answers:
1. Thermodynamics is the study of heat, energy, and how they move around.
2. The first law of thermodynamics says energy can't be created or destroyed, just changed from one form to another.
3. A piston works by moving up and down to compress or expand gases in an engine.
4. The thermodynamics equation often used is ΔU = Q - W, where ΔU is internal energy, Q is heat added, and W is work done.
5. You calculate thermal energy by using the formula Q = mcΔT, where m is mass, c is specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
6. The first law of thermodynamics shows up in a heat engine because the engine converts heat energy into work while following energy conservation.
7. The law of conservation of energy is basically the same as the first law of thermodynamics; they both say energy can't just vanish.
