    Study Notes

    States of Matter

    • Gas:
      • Atoms and molecules move freely through space
      • Compressible
      • Fills its container
    • Liquid:
      • Fills a container only to the volume corresponding to its initial volume
      • Nearly incompressible
    • Solid:
      • Does not require a container
      • Defines its own shape
      • Incompressible
    • Other states of matter:
      • Matter can exist in other states, including foams, gels, plasma
      • These states do not fit into the solid/liquid/gas classification
      • The state of matter depends on its temperature

    Pressure

    • Pressure is defined as force per unit area
    • SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa)
    • 1 atmosphere (atm) = 1.01 × 10^5 Pa
    • Atmospheric pressure is often quoted in non-SI units

    Density

    • Density is a measure of mass per unit volume
    • SI unit of density is kg/m^3
    • Density of water is 997 kg/m^3

    Pressure-depth Relationship

    • Pressure at any given height (h) in an open container consists of:
      • Atmospheric pressure (p_o) at y = 0
      • Pressure due to the fluid
    • The pressure (p) at depth h is calculated with the following formula:
      • p = p_o + 𝛒gh
      • Where 𝛒 is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration of gravity = 9.8m/s^2, and h is the depth
    • The pressure increases by 𝛒gh for every depth h

    Concept Check

    • The pressure at the bottom of all three containers is the same because the pressure only depends on the depth. This is evident in the pressure-depth relationship formula.

    States of Matter

    • Matter exists in three states: gas, liquid, and solid.
    • Gases are easily compressible and fill their container.
    • Liquids are nearly incompressible and take the shape of their container.
    • Solids are incompressible and maintain their own shape.
    • The state of a certain matter is dependent on its temperature.
    • Other states of matter exist, such as foams, gels, and plasma.

    Pressure

    • Pressure is the force exerted per unit area.
    • The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa) which is equivalent to N/m².
    • Atmospheric pressure is the average pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere and is equivalent to 1 atm = 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.

    Density

    • Density is a measure of mass per unit volume.
    • The SI unit of density is kg/m³.
    • Density is a scalar quantity and has only magnitude.
    • The density of water is 997 kg/m³.

    Pressure-Depth Relationship

    • Pressure at a depth h in a fluid is determined by:
      • Atmospheric pressure (p₀)
      • Pressure due to the fluid (ρgh)
    • The equation for pressure at depth is p = p₀ + ρgh, where:
      • ρ is the density of the fluid
      • g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)
      • h is the depth
    • Therefore, the pressure at the bottom of a container filled with a fluid is greater than the pressure at the surface.
