|
What is the Kinetic Theory
|
• All matter is made up tiny moving particles
• The higher the temperature, the faster the particles move • Larger particles move slower than smaller particles |
|
Solids have:
|
• A rigid structure
• Definite volume • Definite shape • Particles that have no freedom to move |
|
Two types of solids:
|
Crystalline, Amorphous
|
|
• Liquids:
|
• Have definite volume
• Do not have definite shape • Particles have some freedom to move |
|
Gases:
|
• Change shape and volume
• Move very rapidly |
|
Plasma State:
|
• Makes up 99% of known matter in the universe (sun and stars)
• No definite shape or volume • Particles break apart • Conduct electricity |
|
2 types of plasma
|
Natural, Artificial
|
|
a non solid state of matter in which the atoms or molecules are free to move past each other, as in a gas or liquid
|
• Fluid
|
|
the upward force exerted on an object immersed in or floating on a fluid
|
• Buoyant Force
|
|
the amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface
|
• Pressure
|
|
the principle that states that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of fluid that the object displaces
|
• Archimedes' Principle
|
|
the principle that states that a fluid in equilibrium contained in a vessel exerts a pressure of equal intensity in all directions
|
• Pascal's Principle
|
|
the resistance of a gas or liquid to flow
|
• Viscosity
|
|
the law that states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of the gas increases as the pressure of the gas decreases and the volume of the gas decreases as the pressure of the gas increases
|
• Boyle's Law
|
|
the law that states for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas increases as the temperature of the gas increases and the volume of the gas decreases as the temperature of the gas decreases
|
• Charles's Law
|
|
the law that states that the pressure of a gas at a constant volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature
|
• Gay-Lussac's Law
