Q

Exothermic change?

A

Like freezing. When an object loses heat energy

16
Q

What is a fluid?

A

Like a liquid. The particals are free to move passed each other

17
Q

Buoyant force?

A

Upward force pushing an object on a fluid

18
Q

Pressure?

A

The amount of force pushing on a unit of area

19
Q

Archimedes principle?

A

That the Buoyant force equals the volume of the fluid that is displaced

20
Q

Pascal?

A

Si unit for pressure

21
Q

Pascals principle?

A

That a fluid in equilibrium has the same pressure in all directions

22
Q

Viscosity?

A

The movement of a fluid

High viscosity means it flows more freely

23
Q

Bernoullis principle?

A

Says if the speed of a fluid increases the pressure increases as well

24
Q

Boyle’s law?

A

The relationship between the pressure of gas and the volume.

If gas is kept at a constant temp. The volume will increase but the pressure decreases

25
Q

Charles’s law?

A

When a certain amount of gas is kept at a constant pressure, the volume increases as the temperature increases

26
Q

Gay-Lussac’s law?

A

The pressure of the gas directly affect the temperature of the gas
