A model of a swinging pendulum includes the pendulum and its surroundings within the system boundary.
Which description is consistent with the model being a closed system?
The total energy in the model decreases when energy is transferred to less useful stores.
The model is closed only if energy remains in the same store throughout each swing.
Equal, non-zero amounts of energy enter and leave the model across its boundary.
Energy may move between stores within the model while its total energy stays constant.
