Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
What is matter?
Grams or kilogram are SI units commonly used to measure this.
What is mass?
In this state particles are packed very close together, they can only vibrate in place.
What is solid?
The ability to do work or cause change.
What is energy?
Gravitational and elastic are two examples of this.
What is potential energy?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.
What is the difference between mass and weight?
A graduated cylinder is used to measure this.
What is volume?
During this change, the particles gain enough energy to move apart, changing from a liquid to a gas.
What is vaporization?
What law states energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
The amount of this energy depends on the speed and mass of the object.
What is kinetic energy?
The measure of the mass of a material in a given volume.
What is density?
This can be measured using a scale.
What is weight?
The process where a gas turns into a liquid as it loses thermal energy.
What is condensation?
A push or pull that can cause an object to move or change its motion.
What is a force?
This energy is the energy stored in the bonds of compounds, like food and batteries.
What is chemical energy?
Ice, water, and steam are examples of these three states
What are a solid, liquid, and gas?
The SI unit for this is either grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or grams per milliliter (g/ml).
What is density?
Liquid wax hardens at room temperature because of this phase change.
What is freezing point?
The rate at which work is done refers to this.
What is power?
The total potential and kinetic energy of an object is this form of energy.
What is mechanical energy
Oxygen can dissolve in water is an example of what property?
What is a physical property?
Thermal energy is the total energy of particles in a substance. This tool measures thermal energy.
What is a thermometer?
Electromagnetic radiation can help matter change state because light also creates this form of energy that is important part of phase changes.
What is thermal energy?
This is only done if the motion and the force are in the same direction.
What is work?
This type of energy is only kinetic and never potential.
What is electromagnetic radiation?
