Plasma
|
The state of matter that does not have a definite shape and in which the particles have broken apart
|
|
|
Energy
|
The ability to change or move matter
|
|
|
Thermal Energy
|
The total kinetic energy of the particles that make up an object
|
|
|
Evaporation
|
The change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
|
|
|
Sublimation
|
The process by which a solid turns directly into a gas
|
|
|
Condensation
|
The change of state from a liquid to a gas
|
|
|
Fluid
|
Anything with the ability to flow
|
|
|
Buoyant Force
|
The upward force that fluids exert on matter
|
|
|
Pressure
|
The amount of force exerted on a given area
|
|
|
Archimedes' Principle
|
States that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces
|

|
Pascal (Pa)
|
The SI Unit for pressure. One pascal is the force of one newton exerted over the area of 1 square meter. (1N/m2)
|
|
|
Pascal's Principle
|
States that a change in pressure at any point in an enclosed fluid will be equally transmitted to all parts of the fluid
|
|
|
Viscosity
|
A liquid's resistance to flow
|
|
|
Boyle's Law
|
States that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume increases as the pressure decreases
|
|
|
Charles's Law
|
States that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume increases as the temperature increases
|
|
|
Gay-Lussac's Law
|
States that a fixed amount of gas at a constant volume, the pressure increases as the temperature increases
