Exothermic change

A

Energy being released as it is changing states

17
Q

Fluid

A

Nonsolid state when the atoms or molecules are free to move around

18
Q

Buoyant force

A

Upward force that happens when an object is immersed in or floating on a fluid

19
Q

Pressure

A

Amount of force taken out every unit area of a surface

20
Q

Archimedes’ principle

A

Buoyant force on an object in a fluid is a upward force that is equal to the volume of fluid that the object displaces

21
Q

Pascal

A

SI unit of pressure; equal to the force of 1 N over an area of 1 M squared (abbreviation-Pa)

22
Q

Pascal’s principle

A

A fluid in equilibrium that is in a vessel gets rid of a pressure that is equal in intensity in a directions

23
Q

Viscosity

A

Not allowing a gas or liquid to flow

24
Q

Boyle’s Law

A

Law that states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of the gas increases as the pressure decreases as the volume decreases, the pressure increases

25
Q

Charle’s Law

A

Law that states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume increases as the temperature increases and as the volume decreases the temperature decreases

26
Q

Gay-Lussac’s Law

A

Law that states that the pressure of gas at a constant volume is directly the same to the absolute temperature
