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
