Density describes the relationship between what? | mass and volume |
Hardness measures a solids resistance to what? | scratching |
What is the hardest natural substance on earth? | diamond |
Elasticity is the measure of a solids ability to be what? | strectched and return to its original size |
Brittleness measures a material's what? | tendency to shatter upon impact |
Malleability measures a solids ability to what? | be pounded into thin sheets |
Tensile strength is a measure of what? | how much pulling/tension a material withstands before breaking |
Fluid | any matter that is able to flow |
3 properties of fluids | density, buoyancy, and viscosity |
Buoyancy | measure of upward force fluid exerts on an object |
Viscosity | materials resistance to flow |
Archimede's Principle | the force exerted on an object in a liquid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced |
3 fluids with high viscosity | syrup, ketchup, corn syrup |
3 fluids with low viscosity | coke, water, vinegar |
Why are some liquids more viscous than others? | it depends on the shape of the molecules |
Hardness | A measure of a solid's resistance to scratching |
Calculating Density | Mass/Volume or mass divided by volume |
Mass | measured in grams, calculated using an electronic balance, mass of an object stays the same as it goes through each phase change |
Definition of mass | amount of matter |
Definition of volume | amount of space matter occupies |
Volume | measured in cubic cm or mL, can be calculated with a formula for some objects, displacement can help us find the volume of irregular shaped objects |
Calculate volume | Length X Width X Height |
Slowest Molecular Movement of water to Fastest Molecular Movement | Solid - Liquid - Gas |
Evaporation | Fast-moving molecules in a liquid can escape to become a gas |
Melting | Temperature at which water changes from a solid to a liquid |
Freezing | Process of a liquid releasing thermal energy to a solid |
