1.1) For the following systems, determine whether the system described is best modeled
as an isolated, closed, or open system:
(a) steam flowing through a turbine
(b) an incandescent light bulb
(c) a fuel pump in a moving automobile
(d) an anchor of a sunken ship resting 3000 m below the surface of the ocean
(e) the roof of a house
Solution:
(a) Open System
(b) Closed System
(c) Open System
(d) Isolated System – could be modeled as a closed system if something is being done
to it.
(e) Closed System
1.2) For the following systems, determine whether the system described is best modeled
as an isolated, closed, or open system:
(a) a tree growing in a forest
(b) a television
(c) a laptop computer
(d) the Voyager 2 spacecraft in its current state
(e) the Messenger spacecraft as it moved into orbit around Mercury
Solution:
(a) Open System
(b) Closed System
(c) Open System (considering the cooling air passing through the system)
(d) Isolated System
(e) Open System (would have been expelling mass with a rocket burn)
