Name that Physicist!
This English scientist was the first to use the term "cell" as the building block of life. He also discovered a law of elasticity that says the amount a solid is deformed is directly proportional to the force acting on it.
Who is Robert Hooke?
This is the equation for density
What is mass/volume?
Pizza Dough
NOT ELASTIC
The process where two or more gases mix thoroughly.
What is diffusion?
True or False, when swimming underwater, the weight of the water above you pushes down on you.
TRUE! This is water pressure.
This French scientist understood the importance of experiments. He proved that as one gains altitude, air pressure decreases. The metric unit for pressure is named in his honor!
Who is Blaise Pascal?
This state of matter has the highest density
What is a solid?
Steel bar
Elastic! Think of the metal wires in braces.
The discoveries of Boyle, Charles, and Gay-Lussac combined into this single statement about gases.
What is the Ideal Gas Law?
This branch of science is concerned with the practical applications of fluids, primarily liquids, in motion. It is especially important in lifting heavy objects, like cars.
What is hydraulics?
This English scientist has a law named after him that says the volume of a gas varies inversely to the pressure. He also learned Hebrew and Greek to pursue his study of Scripture.
Who is Robert Boyle?
In a substance with multiple liquids (like a bottle of vinaigrette dressing in your refrigerator), this will happen to the liquid with the higher density.
What is fall to the bottom?
Lead
NOT HIGHLY ELASTIC
These three properties of a gas are always related.
What is volume, temperature, and pressure?
This principle states pressure in liquid acts equally in all directions.
What is Pascal's Principle?
This Swiss physicist applied Newton's Laws of Motion not only to large objects, but to molecules in gases and liquids as well. His principle explains why differences in pressure over the wing of an airplane gives enough lift for flight.
Who is Daniel Bernoulli?
This is the volume of a liquid whose mass is 100 grams and volume is 25 cubic inches.
What is 4 grams/inches cubed?
True or False: A rubber band is elastic because it can stretch so much!
False! It is elastic because it will return to its original shape after stretched.
With a constant temperature, if the volume of a gas increases, this will happen to the pressure.
What is it will decrease?
The equation of the pressure of a liquid
What is pressure = density x depth
This physicist developed the kinetic theory of gases which explains the relationships among temperature, volume, and pressure of a gas.
Who is James Maxwell?
This is the density of a brick whose mass is 40grams and measures 4 inches long, 2 inches deep and 1 inch high.
What is 5 grams/inches cubed?
Glass
HIGHLY ELASTIC
What is car tire pressure decreasing in the winter, a basketball left out in the cold decreasing, etc?
This is the difference in pressure on the floor of a 120lb person wearing boots with a surface area of 30sq inches versus high heels with a surface area of 10sq inches.
What is 8 lbs/sq in?
(12 lb/sq in - 4lb/sq in = 8 lbs/sq in)
