Theories
The extremely small particles of which all matter is formed
What are atoms
What are crystalline solids
What is adhesion
The law that states if the temperature of a gas is constant the volume and pressure of the gas are inversely proportional
What is Boyle's Law
Force / Area
What is pressure
The theory that provides the basis for our understanding of all matter
What is the atomic theory of matter
What is deformation
This causes atoms or molecules near the surface back into the liquid resulting in a film on the liquids surface
What is surface tension
The principle that states if a pressure is applied to a fluid inside a closed container, the pressure increase will be distributed equally through the container.
What is Pascal's Principle
What is Boyle's Law
The theory that states that all molecules are in constant motion and that when molecules are heated up, they move more and have more energy
What is the kinetic theory
The ability of a solid to recover its original shape
What is elasticity
The pressure the air around us exerts
What is atmospheric pressure
The Law that states the relationship between temperature and volume when pressure is constant
What is Charles's Law
V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
What is Charles's Law
The attraction between molecules of the same substance
What is cohesion
The Mohs Scale and the Brinell Scale are used to measure this in a solid
What is hardness
The ability to be easily squeezed and compacted into smaller containers
What is compressibility
The Law that states the relationship between temperature and pressure are directly proportional when volume is held constant
What is Amontons's Law
P1 / T1 = P2 / T2
What is Amontons's Law
What is osmosis
Five main types of deformation
What are stretching, compression, bending, shear, and torsion
When the molecules of a liquid are more attracted to the container than themselves; there adhesion is stronger than their cohesion this is produced
What is capillarity
An object in a fluid will float if it is lighter than an equal to volume of the fluid and will sink if it is heavier than an equal volume of the fluid
What is Archimedes' Principle
F = kx
What is Hooke's Law
