physics 1 Flashcards
describe solids
regular arrangement, all touching
vibrates
strong and high attraction
describe liquids
irregular arrangement and all touching
moves freely
weaker attraction
describe gases
irregular not touching
moves freely at high speeds
negligible attraction
what is the name of solid to gas
sublimation
how is density calculated
mass decided by volume
what is the metric for density
kg/m^3
what is the metric for volume
m^3
what is the metric for mass
kg
how do you measure the volume of regular solids
measure height, width and depth and multiply together
how do you measure the volume of an irregular solid
find how much water displaces
- fill the can to the spout, with water
- lower the object into the can and collect the water that leaved the spout into the cylinder
- measure the volume of water displaced
what are two pieces of equipment what are used to find displacement of water
eureka can
measuring cylinder
what happens if u overestimate mass when tryin to calculate density
larger answer
density is proportional
what happens if u overestimate volume when tryin to calculate density
answer is smaller
inversely proportional
how do you measure the mass of a liquid
- weigh empty, dry cylinder or beaker
- pour liquid into container
- weigh container + liquid
- subtract contianer weight from combined container and liquid weight
what’s the setup for doing 5 markers
Values
Equation
Substitute
Rearrange
Answer
Units
how do you measure the volume of a liquid
- read the volume from the markings in the measuring cylinder, when on a flat surface
-make sure it is the meniscus that is read at eye level for accuracy
what happens when potential energy rises
particles more further apart
change of state
what is internal energy
potential + kinetic energy
what happens when kinetic energy rises
increased temperature
particles more / vibrate faster
only _________ can change at one time
either potential or kinetic energy
change in state equals..?
potential energy
remaining state equals..?
kinetic energy
P1 x V1 =?
P2 x V2
what is ‘work’
transfer of energy by a force
