Study Notes
Understanding Fluids
- Fluids include both liquids (e.g., water, milk, ketchup) and gases (e.g., air, carbon dioxide) as they can flow and occupy space.
- The body contains various fluids, including blood and cytoplasm.
- Solids can sometimes exhibit fluid-like behavior, such as breakfast cereals or powdered detergents when poured.
Properties of Fluids
- The unit will explore properties of fluids to classify substances as fluids and understand their utility in doing work.
- The particle model of matter will be used to explain fluid properties, revisiting concepts learned about atoms and molecules.
States of Matter
- Three states of matter:
- Solid: Defined shape and volume (e.g., sugar cube).
- Liquid: Defined volume but no defined shape (e.g., water).
- Gas: Neither defined shape nor volume (e.g., oxygen).
Particle Model of Matter
- Solids consist of tightly packed particles that can only vibrate, explaining their lower susceptibility to fluidity and gravity.
- Solids can be ground into smaller particles, allowing them to be poured like fluids (e.g., sugar, salt, flour).
- Despite this, solids do not flow continuously and are not classified as true fluids.
Behavior of Liquid Particles
- Liquid particles have enough energy to move apart and slide past one another, forming loose clusters.
- This behavior allows liquid particles to flow and change shape unlike solid particles, which are fixed in place.
- Liquid behavior can be compared to guests at a party moving and engaging with each other, highlighting fluid dynamics.
