Which of the following is an example of an isolated system?

A. Your cars AC system
B. A mouse on an exercise wheel
C. A single cell
D. All of the above
E. None of the above

Answer 1

An isolated system is a system that is completely isolated from its surroundings and does not interact with them. An example of an isolated system is the system shown in Figure 7.15(a).

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of an isolated system is the system shown in Figure 7.15(a). In an isolated system, the net external force is zero, meaning there are no external forces acting on the system. This allows the system to be completely isolated from its surroundings and not interact with them. In the given options, a car's AC system (option A), a mouse on an exercise wheel (option B), and a single cell (option C) are not isolated systems because they interact with their surroundings.
