Study Notes
- All matter comprises small particles, which are in constant motion, have spaces between them, and are attracted to each other.
- Increasing temperature causes particles to gain energy, move faster, and spread further apart.
- Decreasing temperature causes particles to lose energy, move slower, and contract closer together.
Terms and Definitions
- Density: The relationship between a substance's mass and volume.
- Mass: A measure of how much matter a substance contains.
- Particles: Tiny, invisible building blocks of matter.
- Matter: Anything with mass and volume.
- Volume: The amount of space a substance occupies.
- Viscosity: A fluid's resistance to flow, or its thickness.
- Flow rate: The volume of fluid moving past a point in a certain time.
- Fluid: Any substance that flows, including gases and liquids.
- The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
- Cohesion: The attraction between particles of the same substance.
- Fluids with slow flow rates exhibit high cohesion (e.g., honey, maple syrup).
- Fluids like water and milk have less cohesion.
- Adhesion: Attraction between particles of different substances.
- Adhesion causes fluids to flow faster in the center of pipes/tubes.
- Fluid molecules near walls are drawn to the pipe material while those in the center are less affected.
- Surface tension: The attraction between particles on a liquid's surface.
- Buoyancy: An object's ability to float in a fluid.
- Buoyant force: The upward force a fluid exerts on an object.
- An object floats if less dense than the fluid; it sinks if denser due to less buoyant force.
- An object floats if the buoyant force is equal to or greater than the object's weight; it sinks if the buoyant force is less than the object's weight.
- Metals can float, despite being denser than water, if shaped to have a large volume because the metal’s shape and the air it contains make its average density lower than water.
- Buoyant force strength depends on the solid's shape/density and the fluid's density.
- An object with positive buoyancy floats because it is less dense than the fluid.
- An object with neutral buoyancy stays in the middle of the fluid because gravity equals buoyancy.
- An object with negative buoyancy sinks because it is more dense than the fluid.
