    Study Notes

    States of Matter

    • Matter exists in three primary states: gas, liquid, and solid.
    • A gas freely moves, is compressible, and fills its container.
    • A liquid fills its container's volume but maintains its original volume and is nearly incompressible.
    • Solids maintain their shape and are incompressible.
    • Foams, gels, and plasma are other states of matter that don't fit into the common classification.
    • The state of matter depends on its temperature.

    Pressure

    • Pressure is a scalar quantity defined as force per unit area.
    • The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), which is equal to N/m².
    • Atmospheric pressure is often expressed in atmospheres (atm), where 1 atm equals 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.

    Density

    • Density is a scalar quantity representing mass per unit volume.
    • The SI unit of density is kg/m³.
    • The density of water is approximately 997 kg/m³.

    Pressure-Depth Relationship

    • In an open container, pressure at a depth (h) is determined by atmospheric pressure (p₀) and the pressure due to the fluid.
    • This pressure is calculated as p = p₀ + 𝛒gh.
    • 𝛒 is the fluid's density, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²), and h is the depth.

    States of Matter

    • Gas- Atoms or molecules move freely, are compressible, and fully fill their container.
    • Liquid- Atoms or molecules move more slowly, are nearly incompressible, and only fill their container to their initial volume.
    • Solid- Atoms or molecules are fixed in specific positions, are incompressible, and define their own shape.

    Pressure

    • Pressure is a scalar quantity.
    • Pressure is defined as the force per unit area.
    • The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa), equal to N/m2
    • Atmospheric pressure (1 atm), is 1.01 x 105 Pa.

    Density

    • Density is a scalar quantity that measures the mass per unit of volume.
    • Density is calculated by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume.
    • The SI unit of density is kg/m3.

    Pressure-depth Relationship

    • The pressure at a given depth in a fluid is determined by atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the weight of the fluid above.
    • Pressure at depth h is calculated using: p = p0 + 𝛒gh. Where:
      • p0 is atmospheric pressure.
      • 𝛒 is the density of the fluid.
      • g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2).
      • h is the depth.

    Concept Check

    • The pressure at the bottom of all three containers is the same.

    External Example 1: Stiletto Heel

    • A stiletto heel with a surface area of 0.0005 m2 creates a pressure of 1.2 x 106 Pa when a 60 kg woman puts all her weight on it. This is calculated by dividing the force (weight) by the area.

    External Example 2: Swimming Pool

    • A 9.0 m x 24.0 m swimming pool filled to a depth of 3.0 m experiences the following:
      • Pressure on the bottom: p = p0 + 𝛒gh
      • Force on the bottom: F = p x A (where A is the area of the pool bottom)
      • Pressure due to water only: 𝛒gh
