A | B |
States of Matter | Solid, liquid, gas, plasma |
Kinetic Theory of Matter | Particles in constant motion make up all matter. |
Crystals | Particles arranged in repeating geometric patterns. |
Plasma | Gaslike mixture of positively and negatively charged particles. |
Thermal Expansion | Matter expanding when hot, contracting when cool. |
Polluted Water | Water unfit for living things. |
Thermal Pollution | Hot water for example. |
Evaporation | Liquid to gas, below the boiling point. |
Condensation | When a gas changes to a liquid. |
Heat of fusion | The amount of energy needed to change a material from a solid to a liquid. |
Heat of vaporization | The amount of energy needed to change a material from a liquid to a gas. |
Pressure | The amount of force exerted per unit of area. |
Pascal | The SI unit for pressure. |
Boyle's law | Decrease the volume, the pressure increases. |
Charles's law | Increase the temp., the volume of a gas increases. |
Buoyant force | The upward force exerted by a liquid or gas. |
Archimedes' principle | The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. |
Pascal's principle | Pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid. |
Bernoulli's principle | As the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases. |
