States of matter
Has definite shape and volume
Solid
The theory that states all matter is made of particles in motion that collide without losing energy
Kinetic theory
Melting
High: Honey, maple syrup
Low: Water, alcohol
The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object
Archimedes' principle
Has definite volume, but no definite shape
Fluid
Gas particles move _____________ than liquid particles.
Changing from a liquid to a solid
Freezing
The amount of energy needed to change a solid to a liquid
Heat of fusion
A force applied to one section of an enclosed liquid at rest will be transferred to the entire liquid with the same amount of force.
Pascal's principle
Has neither a definite shape or volume
Gas
Solid particles move _____________ than liquid particles.
Slower
Changing from a liquid to a gas
Evaporation/boiling
The term for matter contracting with cold and expanding with heat
Thermal expansion
The pressure exerted by a moving fluid is less than the pressure of the surrounding fluid
The faster a fluid moves, the lower the pressure it exerts
Things move from area of high pressure to low pressure
Bernoulli's principle
Has charged, rapidly moving particles and no definite shape or volume
Plasma
The point at which all particles stop moving.
Absolute zero
Changing from a gas to a liquid
Condensation
The amount of energy needed to change a liquid to a gas.
Heat of vaporization
How are pressure and volume related in Boyle's law?
The most common state of matter in the universe
Plasma
Describe the difference in how particles move in solids, liquids, and gases.
Solids - vibrate
Liquids - slide, move past
Gases- Random, free motion
Changing from a solid to a gas
Sublimation
The property of fluid that describes its resistance to flow
Viscosity
How are volume and temperature related in Charles's law?
As one goes up the other goes up and vice versa
