What is Volume?
the measurement of the amount of space occupied by a substance
100
What is Viscosity?
the measurement of how fast a fluid flows
100
Name the states of matter.
Solid, liquid, gas
100
What do hot fluids do?
Hot Fluids rise
100
What is Buoyancy?
the anti- gravity force, the tendency to rise or float in a fluid
200
What is Fluid?
any substance that flows
200
What is Density?
the amount of mass in a certain unit volume of a substance
200
What state of matter am I? I have a definite volume, but no definite shape
Liquid
200
How do you make a fluid more viscous and less viscous?
Less viscous- heating More viscous- cooling
200
What state of matter am I? I have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.
Gas
300
What is mass?
the amount of matter in a substance
300
What is Average density?
the total mass of an object divided by the total volume
300
The order that these the fluids would be layered: hot water, cold salt water, cold water, hot salt water
(From bottom to top) Cold salt water, cold water, hot salt water, hot water
300
Why does the density in fluids matter?
It matters because of what order fluids will layer
300
What state of matter am I? I have a definite shape and volume.
Solid
400
What is Weight?
a force of gravity exerted on a mass
400
What is Gravity?
The attractive force between masses which causes objects to be attracted to earth
400
Give an example of average density?
salad dressing separates into layers of oil and vinegar
400
Why is Buoyancy important?
Buoyancy is important because it lets object float in or on water. Like a boat.
400
If the amount of weight pulling down and buoyancy pushing up an object are equal; what happens?
no motion or rest
500
What is Pneumatic?
the pressure in gases
500
What is Hydraulic?
the pressure in liquids
500
Name all five parts of the particle theory?
1. All mater is made up of very small particles 2. All particles in a pure substance are the same 3. There is space in between particles 4. The particles are always moving 5. The particles in a substance are attracted
500
The method used to measure the volume of an irregular object.
seeing how much water is displaced by the object
500
What is the unit that measures volume?
milliletres or litres
