A Perpetual Motion Machine

Q6: Physicists say that it is impossible to create a perpetual motion machine, a machine whose own activity keeps it running perpetually. What energy principle precludes the possibility of a perpetual motion machine? Explain.

A perpetual motion is a machine that converts thermal energy alone to mechanical work. When the thermal energy equivalent to the work, ...
