Element for Gold
Symbol-Au
Atomic weight- 197
Specific gravity- 19.32@17.5 C
Elements are-
When like atoms bond together chemically, they form a molecules of an element.
Compounds-
A compound is any substance whose molecules are composed of unlike atoms.
Water is a compound because the molecules are composed of two kinds of atoms, hydrogen and oxygen.
Mixtures
When two different elements or compounds are mixed together and the molecules do not combine chemically, the substance is known as a mixture.
States of matter
Is determined by two things, it’s temperature and it’s pressure
Molecules of solids
As they are heated, their activity or molecules speed is increased
Absolute Zero
When a substance gets so cold that it’s molecules would cease to move, it could not get any colder.
Two kinds of energy
Potential energy- that due to the position of a mass
Kinetic energy- that due the motion of a mass
The rate at which work is done is called
Power
There are two kinds of velocity
Constant and veriable
The force or shock which results when the movement of a confines liquid is suddenly arrested or accelerated.
Water hammer
The Six Simple Machines
Lever Inclined plane Wedge Screw Wheel and axle Pulley
Levers of the third class
Multiply speed or distance, rather than force.
If the wheel is driving the axle, there is a loss in mechanical advantage of speed because
The driving belt is traveling faster and farther than the driven belt on the axle
On a simple machine
It is impossible to gain both force and speed at the same time.
