Liquid
In contact but can change position
5 of 27
Gas
Moving independently and randomly
6 of 27
Melting
Solid to Liquid
7 of 27
Evaporation
Liquid to gas
8 of 27
Sublimation
Solid to Gas, Gas to solid
9 of 27
Freezing
Liquid to solid
10 of 27

Density
Property of a material. Mass per unit volume. Density=mass/volume
12 of 27
Eureka Can
Measures volume
13 of 27
Kinetic Energy
Movement energy
14 of 27
Specific Latent Heat
Amount of heat energy required to change the state of 1kg of that substance, without change in temperature
15 of 27
Specific Heat Capacity
Changing temperature without changing state. The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg by 1C
16 of 27
Pressure
Force/Area
17 of 27
Fluids
Liquids and gases
18 of 27
Temperature
Measure of how hot or cold something is
19 of 27
Absolute Zero
Lowest temperature that is theoretically possible, equivalent to -273C
20 of 27
Atmosphere
The layer of air above the earths surface
21 of 27
Atmospheric pressure
Gas pressure caused by the atmosphere due to density of the air at that height, 100kPa at Earths surface
22 of 27
Gas pressure
Pressure exerted by a gas due to the collisions of the particles in the gas with the container
23 of 27
Inversely Proportional
When one value increases the other decreases at the same ratio
24 of 27
Pascal
Unit of pressure
25 of 27
Upthrust
Force of an object in a fluid, due to the difference in pressure in the fluid acting on the area of the object
26 of 27
Pressure in fluids
Movement of the particles and weight of the fluid. Acts equally in all directions and increases with depth
