Closed Systems
A closed system is a type of system where the matter within it does not enter or leave the system. This means that the total amount of matter within the system remains constant. However, energy can still enter and leave the system.
Key Characteristics of Closed Systems
- Matter does not enter or leave the system
- Total amount of matter within the system remains constant
- Energy can enter and leave the system
Examples of Closed Systems
Some examples of closed systems include a sealed terrarium, a closed soda can, and a sealed jar of water. In each of these examples, the matter within the system remains constant, but energy can still enter and leave.
Study Guide Questions
- What is a closed system?
- What are the key characteristics of a closed system?
- Provide examples of closed systems.
Summary
Understanding closed systems is important in science as it helps us analyze and predict how matter and energy behave within a given system.
