Physics Topic 3/4 Flashcards
Density=
Mass/volume
The density of a object depends on
What it’s made of and how it’s particles are arrange
Density is the measurements of
The compactness of a object
A dense material has
Particles tightly packed together
Describe a solid
Strong force of attraction to hold particles in a fixed arrangement.m particles don’t have much energy so cant vibrate density is highest
Describe a liquid
Weaker forces of attraction between particles, particles close together but can move past each others do form irregular arrangement. Particles move in random directions at low speed
Describe Gases
No forces of attraction between particles they have more energy and are free to move in random directions at high speeds low density
When you Heat a liquid it
Evaporates into a gas
When you heat a solid it
Melts to become a liquid
A gas to a liquid Is
Condensation
Solid to gas is
Sublimating
When a substance is is melting or boiling you’re still
Putting in energy and so increasing the internal energy but the energy is used for breaking intermolecular forces rather than raining the temp
Flat spots on the graph is where
Enregy is being transferred by heating not to change the temp
When a substance is condensing or freezing the bonds are
Forming between particles which releases energy
Releasing energy means the
Internal energy decreases abut temp doesn’t go down until all the substance has turned to liquid or solid
The flat parts on condensing graph shows
Energy transfer
The energy needed to change a substance is called l
Latent heat
The specific latent heat of something is
Amount of energy required to change 1kg of a substance from one state to another without changing its temp
For cooling specific latent heat is the enregy
Released by a change state
Specific latent heat is different for
Different materials and different states
The specific latent heat from changing to solid and liquid is called
Specific latent heat of fusion
Specific latent heat for changing between a liquid and a gas is called
Specific latent heat of vaporisation
Energy =
Mass x specicic latent heat
SLH is in
J/kg
To find density of solid objects
1) measure its mass
2) messure length height and width and calculate volume
3) use equation
Density of irregular object-
1) measure mass
2) find its volume by submerging it into eureka can filled with water
3) the water which is displaced by the object will be transferred to measuring cylinder
4) record the volum of water in the measuring cylinder
Internal energy is the
Energy stored by the particles that make up a system
Specific latent heat
Energy needed to change the state of a 1kg mass
Specific latent heat of a substance is
The amount of energy needed to change 1kg of it from one state to another w out changing the temperature
The particles in gas are
Constantly moving with random directions and speeds
If you increase the temp of a gas you
Transfer energy into the kinetic energy stores of the particles
Change of state is a
Physical change
What happens during change of state
Number of particles don’t change just arranged differently
Change of state requires
Energy
Internal energy is
The stored energy by the particles that make up a system
The particles have energy in their
Kinetic energy stores
The energy stored in a system is stored by its
Particles
They also have a ____________ due to their position
Potential energy store
Internal energy of a system is the
Total energy that it’s particles have in their kinetic and potential energy stores
Heating a system transfers energy to
It’s particles kinetic stores and move it faster
Heating a system can lead to
Change in temp or state
A change in state occurs if
Substance is heated enough particles will have enough energy in their kinetic energy store to break the bond
What are flat spots on heating graph is where
Energy is being transferred by heating but not being used to change the temp. Intermolecular bonds are breaking , changing states
When a substance is condensing or freezing bonds are
Forming which releases energy , internal energy decreases
