UNIT 2 Flashcards
Volume that each pound of gas occupies. Unit of measure is.ft3/lb.
Specific volume
Matter that exerts all of its force downward
Solid
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, but can be converted from one form to another
The Law of conversion of energy
Force that matter applies to a supporting surface when it is at rest
Weight
Total pressure of a confined mixture of non-reacting (inert) Gases is the sum of the pressures of each of the gases in the mixture
Dalton’s law
Converting electron flow to usable energy
Magnetism
Rate of doing work expressed as ft-lb/min
Horsepower
Natural gas oil and coal are examples of this
Fossil fuel
The capacity for doing work
Energy
A force moving an object expressed as:
Lbs x ft= ft-lb
Work
True or false
A substance that has a specific gravity greater than the specific gravity of water (1) will sink in water
True
True or false
The correct unit of measurement for specific volume is lb/ft3
False
True or false
Tare weight (TW) is the weight of a cylinder when it is filled with water
False
True or false
The weight of a substance is the product of the substances, mass and the force of gravity, pulling down on it
True
Charles law can be expressed as
V1/T1=V2/T2
True
