States & Energy
The only state of matter you can hold in your hand.
What is solid?
As temperature rises particles begin to move quicker and spread further apart from one another, this is what's known as this concept.
What is thermal expansion?
Pressure changes in this way when particles start moving faster.
What is increases?
Along with liquids, this is the other state of matter that is a fluid.
What is a gas?
This is the number of millimeters in a centimeter.
What is 10?
This type of energy is produced by capturing sunlight.
What is solar?
Following along with thermal expansion, most substances contract as they freeze, all but for this very important exception.
What is water?
Hot are balloons work by heating air and capturing the expanding air. This is an example of this law at work.
What is Charles's Law?
The scientific word for floatation.
What is Buoyancy?
The first step of the scientific method.
What is observation, or ask a question?
This state of matter has no definite shape, but does have definite volume.
What is liquid?
Temperature decreases this as it goes up, a liquid's resistance to flowiing.
What is viscosity?
This law is also a unit we use for expressing pressure.
What are Pascals?
You sink when the upward force of buoyancy is less than this downward force.
What is weight?
This is the measure of mass per unit volume.
What is density?
This state's particles are moving so quickly they begin to break apart and become charged.
What is plasma?
As long as temperature is held constant, these other two variables have a relationship according to Boyle's law.
What is pressure and volume?
This is a more common unit used to measure pressure here in the US.
What is pounds per square inch, or PSI?
This type of technology utilizes the fact that liquids transmit pressure very efficiently.
What are hydraulics?
This is the day we are taking our next test.
This, similar to melting point, describes the energy required to go from a solid state to a liquid state.
What is the heat of fusion?
In Charles's Law, temperature and this variable can be related if pressure is held constant.
What is volume?
Shooting the lid off a water bottle that you've twisted or crushed down is taking advantage of this law.
What is Boyle's Law?
This fluid principle is the reason airplane wings create lift.
What is Bernoulli's principle?
This temperature is defined as the complete lack of and movement of a substances particles.
What is 0 Kelvin, or Absolute Zero?
