assumes matter is made of small particles in constant motion
kinetic theory of matter
equals f/a
pressure
form of matter found in lighting bolts, nuclear reactors, and stars
plasma
the reason a cars dashboard might crack when exposed to high temperatures
thermal expansion
defined as the point at whi h a liquids vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure
boiling point
SI unit of pressure
pascal
energy released as a gas changes in liquid
heat
the force which supports objects in fluids
bouyant force
temp at which supports objects in fluids
melting point
property of fluids which enables ships and balloons to float
buoyancy
pressure times area, or a push or pull
force
a fluids resistance to flow
viscosity
all matter is made of small particles that are in motion
kinetic theory of matter
if the volume of a container of gas is decreased, the pressure on the gas will increase if the temperature does not change
Boyles law
the volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature provided the pressure does not change
Charles law
the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces
Archimedes’ Principle
pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted unchanged throughout the fluid
pascals principles
as the velocity of fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases
Bernoulli’s pprinciple
