PROPERTIES OF A SYSTEM
Property - any quantity which serves to describe a system.
Intensive Property – one which does not depend on the mass of the system (ex.
temperature, pressure, density and velocity).
Extensive Property- one which depend on the mass of the system (ex. volume,
momentum and kinetic energy).
Force (F)
Newton’s Second Law of Motion: “The force acting on a body is proportional to the
product of the mass and its acceleration produced.”
Fma where: F = force applied
m = mass of the body
a = acceleration
