Archimedes' PrincipleThe buoyant force on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
Bernoulli's PrincipleAs the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted on the fluid decreases
Boyle's LawIf you decrease the volume of a container of gas, the pressure of the gas will increase, provided the temperature does not change
Bouyant ForceThe upward force exerted on an object when it is completely immersed in a fluid
Charles's LawThe volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature, provided the pressure does not change
CondensationThe change of a substance from a gaseous state to a liquid state
CrystalA solid having a distinctive shape because its atoms are arranged in repeating geometric patterns
EvaporationThe change of a substance from a liquid state to a gaseous state
Heat Of FusionThe amount of energy needed to change a material from the solid state to the liquid state
Heat Of VaporizationThe amount of energy needed to change a material from the liquid state to the gaseous state
Kintetic Theory Of MatterThe theory that all matter is made up of tiny particles that are in constant motion
PascalThe international unit of pressure
Pascal's PrincipleThe pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted unchanged throughout the fluid
PlasmaA gaslike mixture of positively and negatively charged particles
PressureThe amount of force exerted per unit of area
States Of MatterAny of the four conditions in which matter can exist: solid, liquid, gas, or plasma
Thermal ExpansionA characteristic of matter causing it to expand when heated and contract when cooled
