Study Notes
Gas Laws
- Boyle's Law: When the volume of a gas container decreases, the pressure of the gas increases, assuming temperature remains constant.
- Charles' Law: The volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature while keeping the pressure constant.
Fluid Dynamics
- Bernoulli's Principle: Higher fluid velocity results in lower pressure exerted by the fluid, explaining various fluid flow phenomena.
- Pascal's Principle: Any pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid, essential in hydraulic systems.
Properties of Matter
- Kinetic Theory of Matter: Matter is composed of tiny, constantly moving particles, foundational for understanding states of matter.
- Archimedes' Principle: An object submerged in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, relevant in fluid mechanics.
Specific Properties of Solids and Liquids
- Amorphous Solids: Lacking a definite melting point or structured arrangement, leading to isotropic properties.
- Thermal Expansion of Water: Unique due to hydrogen bonding, which promotes cohesion, causing unusual expansion characteristics when transitioning from liquid to solid.
Behavior of Water
- Water molecules adopt a structure that leaves empty spaces as temperature decreases, resulting in expansion when freezing, contrary to most substances.
- Boiling Point and Elevation: As elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases, causing the boiling point of water to lower since less energy is required to move particles apart.
