A | B |
Archimedes' Principle | The buoyant force on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object |
Bernoulli's Principle | As the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted on the fluid decreases |
Boyle's Law | If you decrease the volume of a container of gas, the pressure of the gas will increase, provided the temperature does not change |
Bouyant Force | The upward force exerted on an object when it is completely immersed in a fluid |
Charles's Law | The volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature, provided the pressure does not change |
Condensation | The change of a substance from a gaseous state to a liquid state |
Crystal | A solid having a distinctive shape because its atoms are arranged in repeating geometric patterns |
Evaporation | The change of a substance from a liquid state to a gaseous state |
Heat Of Fusion | The amount of energy needed to change a material from the solid state to the liquid state |
Heat Of Vaporization | The amount of energy needed to change a material from the liquid state to the gaseous state |
Kintetic Theory Of Matter | The theory that all matter is made up of tiny particles that are in constant motion |
Pascal | The international unit of pressure |
Pascal's Principle | The pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted unchanged throughout the fluid |
Plasma | A gaslike mixture of positively and negatively charged particles |
Pressure | The amount of force exerted per unit of area |
States Of Matter | Any of the four conditions in which matter can exist: solid, liquid, gas, or plasma |
Thermal Expansion | A characteristic of matter causing it to expand when heated and contract when cooled |
