SI unit for
pressure: Pascal,
but kilo pascal is
usually used
What does the amount of force
exerted by a gas depend upon?
The size of the
container
How will particles
move in an open
container vs. a
closed container?
Open - They would come out of the container
Closed - They would try to spread as far apart
as possible
Boyle's
Law
With the temperature
held constant, when
the pressure of a gas
increases the
pressure will decrease
Charles's Law
With pressure
held constant,
when the gas is
heated, the
volume will
increase
Absolute Zero
The
temperature at
which particle
motion stops
-273 C
Buoyancy
The ability of a fluid to exert
an upward force on an object
immersed in it
Explain how a hydraulic lift
works
Two cylinders
connected by a pipe
are filled with oil. If you
push down on one
piston, then it pushes
the oil into the pipe and
lifts the other piston
and whatever weight is
put on it.
Uses Pascal's
principle
Archimedes
Principle
The buoyant
force of an object
in a fluid is equal
to the weight of
the fluid displaced
by the object
Bernoulli's
Principle
As the velocity of
a fluid increases,
the pressure
exerted by the
fluid decreases
Energy
Difference between
potential and kinetic
Potential: stored
Kinetic: in motion
Matter is
anything that
takes up space
and has mass
Solid
Very Strong
Attractive Force
Atoms can wiggle a
little
Solid becomes liquid at melting
point
Heat of Fusion
Amount of energy it takes to change 1kg of a solid to a
liquid at its melting point
Solid to gas w/o liquid is
sublimation
Liquid
Medium Attractive
Force
Particles can move over
and around each other
Liquid to gas is
evaporation
Changes at its boiling
point.
Gas
No attractive
force
Particles move
freely
Gas to liquid is
condensation
Kinetic Theory of Matter
Particles are in constant
motion Rate of motion
depends on attractive force
Attractive force defines state
of matter
