What is a plasma?

A

It’s a state of matter that does not have a define shape and the particles are broken apart. It starts out as a gas and then becomes ionized.

What is a exoteric change?

A

When a substance is freezing and realizing energy while changes states of matter.

16
Q

What is a fluid?

A

A state of matter where the molecules are free to move past each other as Ina gas or a liquid.

17
Q

What is a buoyant force?

A

The upward force exerted on an object

18
Q

What is pressure?

A

The amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface

19
Q

What is the Archimedes’ principle?

A

The principle that states that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force.

20
Q

What is pascal?

A

The SI unit for pressure. (Pa)

21
Q

What is pascal’s principle?

A

States that a fluid in equilibrium contained in a vessel exerts a pressure of equal intensity in all directions.

22
Q

What is viscosity?

A

The resistance of a gas or liquid to flow

23
Q

What is Bernoulli’s principle?

A

States that as speed of a moving fluid increases, the pressure of the moving fluid decreases.

24
Q

What is Boyle’s Law?

A

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

25
Q

What is Charles’s Law?

A

States that the fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas increases as the temperature increases. The volume decreases as the temperature decreases

26
Q

What is Gay-Lusaac’s Law?

A

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