Matter
anything that takes up space and has mass
What is matter?
The term that means a liquid's resistance to flow
What is "viscosity?"
the total kinetic and potential energy of all the particle in a sample of matter
What is thermal energy?
Changes in temperature do this to matter.
What is changing states of matter?
or
What is solid to liquid to gas?
This process is the change from the solid state straight to the gaseous state.
What is sublimation?
the 4 states of matter
What is solid, liquid, gas, and plasma?
The reason a spider can seem to "float" or "walk" on top of water
What is surface tension?
The definition of temperature
What is "the average kinetic energy of the individual particles
the temperature at which matter changes from a solid state to a liquid state
What is melting (or melting point)?
This term is equal to the force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted. This force helps blow up a ball when the air enters it.
What is pressure?
This state of matter has a definite shape and volume and the particles just vibrate in place.
What is a solid?
This gas exists in the air but is generally solid or liquid at room temperature.
What is vapor?
The movement of thermal energy from a substance at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature
What is heat?
temperature at which matter changes from a liquid state to a solid state is called this
What is freezing (or freezing point)?
upward force exerted on a object immersed in water
What is buoyant force?
This is the definition of liquid.
What is "matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape?"
the particles in these solids are arranged in a repeating, three-dimensional pattern called a crystal
What are crystalline solids?
As matter gains energy the particles do this.
What is get hotter (increase thermal energy)?
The definition for vaporization is this.
What is "the change from a liquid to a gas'?
Archimedes' Principle says this.
What is "the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object"?
This type of matter has no definite shape or volume. It takes the shape of its container whether big or small and is usually invisible.
What is gases?
These solids often consist of large particles that are not arranged in a repeating pattern.
What are amorphous solids?
Thermal energy depends on this
What is "the number of particles in a substance as well as the amount of energy each particle has"?
When particles move slowly enough for their attractions to bring them together, droplets of liquid form. This process is the opposite of vaporization.
What is condensation?
If the matter of an object has more of this than the fluid it is in the object will sink. If the matter of an object has less of this than the fluid it is in it will float.
What is density?
