Archimedes' Principle | states that the force exerted on an object in a liquid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object |
brittleness | a measure of a material's tendency to shatter upon impact |
buoyancy | a measure of the upward force a fluid exerts on an object |
density | a property that describes the relationship between mass and volume |
elasticity | a measuerment of a solid's ability to stretch and then return to its original shape and size |
hardness | measures a solid's resistance to scratching |
malleability | a solid's ability to be pounded into sheets |
tensile stregth | a measure of how much pulling, or tension, a material can withstand before breaking |
viscosity | a measure of a material's resistance to flow |
Boyle's Law | as the pressure of a gas increases, its volume decreases proportionately. as the pressure of a gas decreases, its volume increases proportionately |
Charles' Law | The volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature. The volume of a gas decreases with decreasing temperature. |
