States
of Matter
Archimedes
Principle – The principle that states the buoyant force of an object in a fluid
is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of fluid that the object
displaces
Boyles
Law – States that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, the volume
of gas increases as the pressure decreases and the volume of gas decreases as
the pressure increases.
Charles
Law- States that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume
of gas increases as the temperature increases and the volume of gas decreases
as the temperature decreases.
Condensation
– The change of a substance form a gas to a liquid
Energy
– Capacity to do work
Evaporation
The change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
Pascal
– The SI unit of pressure; equal to the force of 1 Newton exerted over an area
of 1meter squared.
Pascal’s
Principle-The principle states that a fluid in equilibrium contained in vessel
exerts a pressure equal in intensity in all directions
Pressure
– The amount of force exerted per unit of a surface
Sublimation
– The process in which a solid changes directly into a gas
Thermal
energy – The kinetic energy of a substance’s atoms
