Queenie · Answer 1

According to the second law, heat which is also referred to as thermal energy can be completely converted into work. Sot he answer would be Thermal energy flows from areas of higher to lower temperatures and this is the 3rd option from your given.

Alonso Everett · Answer 2

According to the second law, heat which is also referred to as thermal energy can be completely converted into work.

The second statement is much related directly to the second law.

We can say that some energy is lost while other is used to do work.
