Can You Explain the Differences Between Open and Closed Systems in Energy Transfers?

Sure! Here’s a simpler version:

Open Systems:

  • Things like energy and matter can go in and out.
  • Imagine a pot of boiling water; the steam goes up into the air.

Closed Systems:

  • Only energy can move in and out, but the matter stays inside.
  • Think of a sealed soda bottle; you can’t get the soda out unless you open it, but the bottle can still lose heat.

When we look at energy diagrams, open systems show energy moving in many directions. Closed systems have fewer paths for energy. It’s really cool to see how these ideas play a role in our everyday lives!
