8I Fluids And Forces Flashcards
Volume
The more volume the more space the object takes up (the amount of space space an object takes up)
Solid-liquid
Melting
Liquid-gas
Evaporation
Gas-liquid
Condensation
Liquid-solid
Freezing
Gas-solid
Sublimation
Solid-gas
Sulbimation
Mass
How many particles (stuff) are in an object
Density
How much space an object takes up and how many particles there are
Why can particles change state?
The reason particles can change state is because a particle in a liquid has less energy than a gas and the gas has more energy than a solid. The particles gain and lose kinetic energy.
Can density change
Yes
Can mass change
No mass stays the same
What happens to a balloon if the air inside is hotter
Makes the balloon rise because the more heat there is the more particles and they get more energy hitting against the inside of the balloon. When we heat up particles, they move further apart, heat is thermal energy.
4 forces acting on any object
Upthrust, drag, thrust and weight
How to work out mass
Density x volume
