Physics 10 Flashcards
A set of particles or interacting components considered to be a distinct physical entity for the purpose of study
System
The combination of conditions and influences outside a system that affect the behavior of the system
Environment
A thermodynamic process that takes place at constant volume so that no work is done on or by the system
Isovolumetric process
A thermodynamic process that takes place at constant temperature
Isothermal process
A thermodynamic process during which no energy is transferred to or from the system as heat
Adiabatic process
A thermodynamic process in which a system returns to the same conditions under which it started
Cyclic process
A measure of the randomness or disorder of a system
