A

A change of matter when energy leaves the substance.

16
Q

Fluid

A

A state of matter that is not a solid where the atoms or molecules can move around each other like in a gas or liquid

17
Q

Buoyant force

A

The upward force acting on an object in a fluid.

18
Q

Pressure

A

How much force is acting on per unit area of a surface

19
Q

Archimedes principle

A

Principle that says that the buoyant force on an object is a force directed up that is the same as the weight of the volume of the fluid it has displaced.

20
Q

Pascal

A

SI unit for pressure which is the same as 1 Newton of force of a meter squared.

21
Q

Pascals principle

A

States that a fluid at equilibrium in a container puts out an equal amount of pressure to each direction.

22
Q

Viscosity

A

resistance fluids have to flowing

23
Q

Bernoulli’s principle

A

As speed of fluid increases pressure decreases

24
Q

Boyle’s Law

A

The volume of a gas increases as pressure decreases.

25
Q

Charles’s Law

A

As temperature of a gas increases volume increases.

26
Q

Gay-Lussacs Law

A

In a fixed container when temperature increases pressure increases and when pressure increases temperature increases.
