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.
