Phy Sci chapter three notes Flashcards
What has to be divided in the formula to get pressure
Force and area
The amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface
Pressure
The SI unit of pressure; equal to the force of 1N exerted over an area of 1m
Pascal
The upward force that keeps an object immersed in or floating on a fluid
Buoyant force
What principle is used to find buoyant force
Archimedes
What does Pascal’s principle state
if the pressure in a container is increased at any point, the pressure increases at all points by the same amount
What is based on Pascal’s principle
Hydraulic devices
What does viscosity depend on
Particle attraction
What is the resistance of a gas or liquid to flow
Viscosity
What makes up matter
Atoms and molecules that are always in motion
What is the relationship between temperature of a substance and the particles in that substance
The higher the temperature, the faster the particles move
A nonsolid state of matter in which the atoms or molecules are free to move past each other, as in a gas or liquid
Fluid
A state of matter that consists of free-moving ions and electrons
Plasma
The capacity to do work
Energy
What is the measure of average kinetic energy
Temperature
