Answer 1

1. Physical systems are composed of matter and energy.

2. Social system is a comprehensive arrangement.

3.Similarities: Both are made of parts that function together to preform a task. Differences: Social systems are made up of organisms physical systems are not.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Information is embedded in physical systems, and is stored and transported, in matter/energy carriers. The behaviour of physical systems manifests itself as flows and exchanges of matter, energy and information, and interaction through force fields.

2. It takes its orbit all the diverse subsystems such as the economic, political, religious and others and their interrelation too. Social systems are bound by environment such as geography.

3. Similarities: Social systems are made up of organisms physical systems are not. Something that goes into a system. Differences: Physical systems differ from social systems because a physical system refers to systems that rely on a group of physical parts to perform a function.
