Step-by-step explanation:

NOT true is the first statement :

energy can't enter the system by mass can.

it is a strange statement and wrong in itself.

as we all know, the famous equation

e = mc²

tells us : mass is also energy, just in a different form, and can be converted.

so, when mass enters, so does energy.

and that cannot be in a closed system.
