What is the formula for density?
Density =mass divided volume
How do you find the density of an regular shaped object?
- Measure the mass of each object using a balance
- Measure the width, length and depth of each object with a ruler
- The volume is calculated by multiplying the three lengths together
- To calculate the density = mass divided my volume
How do you find the volume irregular shaped object ?
- Measure the mass of the object using a scale ( displacement can)
- Then fill up a displacement can of water so it is full and ready to use
- Lower the object into water and hold and empty beaker
- Measure the volume of the displaced water
- Then use the equation of Density= mass divided volume
What does specific heat capacity mean?
Specific hat capacity is the thermal energy required to raise the temperature of a body of mass 1kg by 1k
What does specific latent heat mean?
Specific latent heat is the amount of energy needed to change the state of unit mass of a pure substance without a change in temperature
E= m x l
What is internal energy
The molecules with inna body all possess kinetic energy. This is the energy due to their random motion
What is the formula of internal energy ?
Internal energy= kinetic energy ( how fast molecules move) + potential energy bonds
What is a fluid
A fluid refers to a liquid as a gas as the particles in both are able to flow,be fluid
When you pull the syringe that is blocked and has a marshmello inside what happeneds?
It decreases the pressure
The pressure on the outside of the marshmallow is less than before.
