Q

How does matter mass and volume relate to the 3 states of matter

A

A solid has a definite shape and volume

A liquid has a definite volume but it’s shape is determined by its surroundings

A gas has its volume and shape determined by its surroundings

Q

What is viscosity

A

The description of fluids resistance flow

High viscosity-he particles move faster

Low viscosity- the particles move slower

Q

What is surface tension

A

Surface tension is another property of liquid in which the surface of a liquid acts like a thin skin or membrane

17
Q

What is the hydraulic system (jaws of life)

A

It’s a system that uses hydraulics to pry out people from crashes cars
When one side pushes down the oil the other side goes up form all the oil going in to it pushing up whatever is holding it down

Example syringe science class

18
Q

What is the particle model of matter

A

All matter is made up of particles

In solids the particles are very close and in gasses they are far apart and liquid in the middle

19
Q

What are the three states of matter

A

Solids liquids and gasses
