Ch. 8 Vocab Flashcards
States that the buoyant force on an object is the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
Archimedes Principal
Upward force exerted on an object immersed in fluid
Buoyant force
The process of changing from a gas to a liquid
Condensation
Mass of an object divided by its volume
Density
Change of matter from a liquid state to a solid state
Freezing
Matter that does not have a definite shape or volume; has particles that move in high speeds at all directions
Gas
Movement of thermal energy from a substance at a higher temperature to a substance is a lower temperature
Heat
Matter with a definite volume but no definite shape that can flow from one place to another
Liquid
Anything that takes up space and has mass
Matter
Change of matter from a solid state to a liquid state
Melting
States that when a force is applied to a confined fluid, an increase in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid
Pascals principle
Force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted
Pressure
Matter with a definite shape and volume, has tightly poached particles that move mostly by vibrating
Solid
The uneven forces acting on the particles of the surface of a liquid
Surface tension
Measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles of a substance
Temperature
