Solids
The theory that says all molecules of matter are in constant motion and that molecules move faster at warmer temperatures.
What is the Kinetic Theory of Matter?
The tendency of a solid object to float when placed in a fluid.
What is buoyancy?
Type of vessel that can change its buoyancy to float on water's surface or maneuver beneath the surface.
The scientist who discovered that (if the temperature of a gas remains constant) the volume and pressure of a gas are inversely proportional.
Who is Robert Boyle?
Lateral pressure exerted by a moving fluid decreases as the fluid's speed increases
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
The ability of a solid to recover its original shape after it is deformed.
What is elasticity?
Thin solids that allow certain substances to diffuse through them are described with this word.
What is semipermeable?
The ability of a gas to be easily squeezed and compacted into smaller containers.
The scientist who discovered that sideways pressure exerted by a moving fluid decreases as the fluid's speed increases.
Who is Bernoulli?
At a constant pressure, volume and temperature of a gas are directly proportional.
What is Charles's Law?
The maximum amount of permanent change a solid may be subjected to without breaking.
What is plasticity?
The phenomenon in which liquids in thin tubes rise above or fall beneath their levels.
What is capillarity?
The SI unit of pressure
The scientist who discovered that if pressure is applied to a fluid inside a closed container, the pressure increase will be distributed equally through out the container.
Who is Pascal?
At a constant volume, temperature and pressure of a gas are directly proportional.
A combination of stretching and compression.
What is bending?
The process of mixing molecules of one substance with another substance by random molecular motion.
What is diffusion?
What is neutral buoyancy?
The scientist who discovered that objects appear to lose weight when immersed in water.
Who was Archimedes?
Buoyant force experienced by an object is exactly equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
What is Archimedes' Principle?
The basis for the scientific understanding of all matter.
What is the Atomic Theory of Matter?
The small piston of a hydraulic press has an area of 3.0 cm3 and the large piston has an area of 18 cm2. If the small piston has a force of 6.0 N applied to it, this is the output force of the large piston.
What is 36 N?
The original volume and pressure of a gas sample were 8.0 L and 125 kPa. If the pressure is increased to 200.0 kPa while the temperature is kept constant, this is the new volume of the gas.
What is 5.0 L?
The scientist who proposed that air has weight and therefore exerts pressure.
Who was Torricelli?
Amount of deformation is proportional to the amount of stretching force.
What is Hooke's Law?
