Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
What is matter?
Grams 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?
A characteristic that describes something's ability to change into another substance.
What is a chemical property?
A graduated cylinder is used to measure this.
What is volume (of irregular shaped items)?
During this change, the particles gain enough energy to move apart, changing from a liquid to a gas.
What is evaporation?
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?
Density equals mass divided by volume.
What is the formula for density?
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?
Heat that is transferred through direct contact.
What is conduction?
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?
Use a balance scale and known masses.
What is how to find mass?
Has a definite volume, but not a definite shape.
What is a liquid?
This happens when an object's position changes relative to another object.
What is motion?
The total potential and kinetic energy of an object is this form of energy.
What is mechanical energy
Water boiling at exactly 100 degrees C is an example of what kind of property?
What is a physical property?
The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
What is temperature?
Liquid wax hardens at room temperature because of this phase change.
What is freezing point?
This is only done if the motion and the force are in the same direction.
What is work?
The transfer of heat through empty space.
What is radiation?
