buoyant | the measure of upward force that a fluid exerts on an object that is submerged |
elasticity | flexible; can change shape easily |
specific heat | the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a material by one degree celsius [mass(kg) X specific heat X degrees celsius = energy(J)] |
amorphous | solid with a random, jumbled arrangement of atoms |
crystalline | solid with a regular, orderly arrangememt of atoms |
fluid | a form of matter that flows when a force is applied |
strength | the ability to hold a large amount of force |
Bernoulli's Principle | a relationship that describes evergy conservation in a fluid |
density | the mass of matter per unit volume (g/mL, g/cm3, kg/m3) |
malleability | capability of being shaped by a force |
brittleness | easily cracked; fragile |
ductility | capability to be molded or shaped without breaking |
pressure | to put force onto |
