States of Matter
What state of matter has a definite shape and definite volume?
Solid
What is the ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it?
Buoyancy
What is the amount of force exerted per unit of area?
Pressure
What is the equation for pressure?
P=F/A
What is boiling point?
Temperature at which a liquid can start turning into a gas, or temperature at which pressure of vapor is equal to pressure of atmosphere
What state of matter has neither a definite shape or volume?
Gas
According to Pascal's Principle, will pressure applied to a fluid be transmitted throughout the fluid?
Yes
What law is isobaric?
Charles's Law
What is the equation for Pascal's Principle?
F1/A1=F2/A2
What is the term for the amount of energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid?
Heat of Fusion
What state of matter has a definite volume, but not a definite shape?
Liquid
What is viscosity?
Resistance of a fluid to flow
What kind of process is Boyle's Law?
Isothermal
What is the equation for Boyle's Law?
P1V1=P2V2
What is the term for "the amount of energy required for the liquid at its boiling point to become a gas"?
Heat of vaporization
What state of matter is the most abundant in the universe?
Plasma
What is the principle that states that, as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases?
Bernoulli's Principle
What law is isovolumetric?
Guy-Lussac's Law
V1/T1=V2/T2
What is thermal energy?
Total amount of kinetic and potential energy in a material
What is the process in which a solid goes straight to a gas, without passing through the liquid state?
Sublimation
What principle states that "the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object"?
Archimedes Principle
Atoms in a solid material are arranged in a geometric pattern called what?
A crystal lattice
What is the General Gas Law Equation?
P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2
What is Kinetic Theory?
The explanation of how particles in matter behave
(matter's composed of small particles, particles are in constant random motion, energy lost in collisions with each other is negligible)
