Science Test Flashcards
Particle theory
Is an explanation of why matter behaves the way it does,
5 major points
All mater is made of tiny particles
Particles are always moving
There is space in between particles
Adding heat makes them go faster
Particles in a pure substance are the same, different substances are different

64%
What % of our brain and heart are made of water?
74%
What % of our bones our made of water?
30%
Mass
Is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.
Viscosity
Is a measure of a fluids resistance to flow.
Flow rate
Is used to measure how quickly fluids move.
Flow rate
Is used to measure how quickly fluids move.
Friction
Is the resistance that a surface encounters when it rubs
Cohesion
Is a measure of how strongly fluid particles are attracted to each other.
Adhesion
Is the attraction between the particles of a fluid and another substance
Temperature
An increase in temperature will reduce a liquid’s viscosity and vice versa
Particle size
Larger particles experience greater viscosity and smaller ones experience less viscosity
