Study Notes
System Definition
- A system is a defined portion of the universe, isolated for observation and measurement of changes.
- Isolation allows for focused analysis without interference from external factors.
Types of Systems
- The simplest type of system is an isolated system.
- An isolated system has boundaries that prevent any exchange of matter or energy with its surroundings.
- This complete isolation facilitates controlled experiments and accurate observations of internal changes.
