How is energy conserved in a closed system?
It is conserved because it stays in the system and never leaves. So it will be there forever until you open up the system.
What is definition of open system?
An open system is a system which can be affected by external factors. Energy of the system can be altered, total momentum, charge, etc. In a closed system, energy, mass, momentum, charge and other properties are conserved.
What conditions must be satisfied for momentum to be conserved in a system?
For momentum to be conserved in a system it must
When is the angular momentum of a system not conserved?
The angular momentum of a system is not conserved when a net external torque acts upon the system.
Would no momentum be conserved for the system if momentum were not a vector quantity?
Momentum would be conserved.
What is conserved when two object collide in a closed system?
Momentum is conserved when two objects collide in a closed system.
What is a closed system in thermodynamics?
A thermodynamically closed system is one where no mass enters or leaves the system. That does not preclude the possibility of heat or work entering or leaving the system.
Which of these leads to the conclusion that linear momentum is conserved?
An isolated system can lead us to conclusion that the linear momentum is conserved. When the mechanical properties of a given system does not change, then the system is in an isolated state.
Within which type of system is neither the total mass nor the total energy conserved?
That would be impossible as mass and energy are related.
Is energy conserved only in exothermic reactions?
no only in inothermic reactons
If Conjugate momentum is conserved for cyclic coordinate?
Conservation of linear Momentum is independent of the coordinate system. It does not matter what coordinates are used. In a closed system, i.e. no external forces, momentum is conserved
In what situations does the law of conservation of energy not apply?
In general Conservation of Energy does not hold internal to a system, it only holds at the boundary of the system. This is where the limits of the system are. Internal to the system energy is not conserved. The situations where the Conservation does not apply is where the force is not zero or the first derivative of energy is not zero.
