Midterm Flashcards
Mass is
the amount of matter in an object
Pressure is force/area, to increase pressure you
decrease the area the force is applied
and
Increase the applied force
A Bourdon Gauge utilizes a coiled tube to measure
The pressure difference between the pressure exerted by the a gas in a cylinder and atmospheric pressure
Kinetic energy is
the energy of motion
The second law of thermodynamics states
thermal contact between two bodies transfers heat from hot to cold
Pascals principle states that
a change is pressure on an enclosed, incompressible fluid is transferred equally throughout the body of the fluid
As the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid
decreases according to Bernoulli
Viscosity is the property which determines
laminar flow
Calculate the total pressure (PTotal) if the gauge pressure (PGauge) on an o2 cyclinder reads 10psi and atmospheric pressure is (Patmosphere) is 14.7
24.7 psi
A change in internal energy can be calculated from the
heat and work process
Potential energy is
stored energy
Density is the ratio of
mass to volume
Atomic Number Z =
the number of protons
T/F a substance can be both a molecule and an element
True
The volume of a substance can be described as
Extensive physical property
