Q

Exothermic change

A

Like condensation freezing is an exothermic change because energy is released from the substances as it changes state. Motion of the particles slow down

16
Q

Fluid

A

A non solid state of matter in which the atoms or molecules are free to move past each other as in a gas or liquid.

17
Q

Buoyant force

A

The upward force exerted on an object immersed in or floating on a fluid.

18
Q

Pressure

A

The amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface

19
Q

Archimedes Principle

A

The principle that states that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of fluid that the object displaces.

20
Q

Pascal

A

The SI unit of pressure

21
Q

Pascals Principle

A

The principle that states that a fluid in equilibrium contained in a vessel exerts a pressure of equal intensity in all directions

22
Q

Viscosity

A

The resistance of a gas or liquid to flow

23
Q

Bernoulli’s Principle

A

Fluid pressure decreases as the speed of moving fluid increases

24
Q

Boyle’s Law

A

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

25
Q

Charles law

A

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

26
Q

Gay- Lussacs law

A

The law that states that the pressure of a gas at a constant volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature
