Flashcards

Solid

A state of matter that retains its shape and density even when not confined. Atoms are in a specific orientation (Fixed shape).

Liquid

A state of matter that flows freely but maintains a constant volume. It takes the shape of its container.

Gas

A state of matter in which the particles are widely spaced and move freely. It can expand to fill its container and it can diffuse through other gasses.

Pressure

A force that acts perpendicular to a surface. It is calculated by dividing the force applied by the area over which it is applied.

Upthrust

An upwards force exerted by a fluid (liquid or gas) on an object immersed in it. It acts against the weight of the object, making it seem lighter in the fluid.

Study Notes

States of Matter

Solids maintain their shape and density, even without containment.
Atoms in solids have fixed positions.
Examples include bricks, wood, and glass.

Liquids

Liquids have a constant volume, but take the shape of their container.
Examples include water, oil.

Gases

Gases take the shape and volume of their container.
They diffuse across a container.
Examples include air, oxygen.

Pressure

Pressure is force per unit area.
The same force applied over a smaller area results in higher pressure.
Higher mass in the same area results in higher pressure.
Gravity (g) accounts for the force of weight.
- g = 9.8 N/kg.

Force

Force causes changes in an object's velocity.
Force is opposed by opposing forces.

Buoyancy

Buoyancy is an upward force exerted by a fluid.
It opposes the weight of an immersed object.
If an object's average density is less than the fluid's density, it will float.

Density Calculation

Density = Mass / Volume
Volume calculations depend on the shape of the object.
