Fluid and Phases of Matter

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Viscosity   Fluids resistance to flow  
🗑
Does corn syrup or oil have a higher viscosity?   Corn syrup (thicker) has a high viscosity; oil (thinner) has a low viscosity - flows faster  
🗑
What happens to viscosity if you increase temperature of the fluid?   Increasing temperature decreases viscosity because the particles in the fluid move faster and the fluid flows faster  
🗑
Buoyancy   Buoyancy is the upward fore that a fluid exerts on an object. Example: Buoyancy is a rubber duck floating in a tub of water.  
🗑
What is the Archimedes’ Principle?   The buoyant force on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaced.  
🗑
Positive Buoyancy   The tendency of an object to float or rise in a fluid because the object weighs less than the fluid it displaces.  
🗑
Neutral Buoyancy   The amount of force pulling down (gravity) equals the amount of force pushing up (buoyancy) – an object will remain at constant level in fluid (neither sink nor rise)  
🗑
Negative Buoyancy   The tendency of an object to sink in a fluid because the object weighs more than the fluid it displaces.  
🗑
Cohesion   The attraction of a particle to one of the same substance  
🗑
Adhsion   The attraction of a particle to another particle of a different substance  
🗑
Surface Tension   Surface tension is a property of liquids where the exposed surface shrinks to the smallest possible area because of unequal forces near the surface.  
🗑
Force   A push or pull that causes movement.  
🗑
Flow Rate   How quickly a fluid flows in a given amount of time.  
🗑
Dynamic   A term used to describe systems that involve movement such as moving liquids  
🗑
Formula to calculate Viscoscity   Viscosity = Mass/Density  
🗑
Density   Mass per volume of a substanc  
🗑
Formula to calculate density   Density = Mass/Volume  
🗑
Mass   Mass is the amount of matter in an object.  
🗑
Formula to calculate Mass   Mass = Density X Volume  
🗑
Formula to calculate volume   Volume = Mass/Density  
🗑
Aerodynamics   The motion of GAS moving around solid objects.  
🗑
Example of aerodynamics   Air moving over a car driving down the road  
🗑
Hydrodynamics   The motion of LIQUID moving around solid objects  
🗑
Example of hydrodynamics   Water moving around a boat travelling through the water  
🗑
Kinetic Molecular Theory (4 Parts)   1. All matter is composed of particles 2. The particles are in constant motion 3. Forces of attraction hold molecules together 4. Adding energy (ie: increase temperature) to a sample of matter will cause the particles to move faster and spread  
🗑
Melting   Process of a substance changing from a solid to a liquid (ie: ice melting into water)  
🗑
Evaporation   Process of changing a substance from a liquid to a gas (ie: water boiling into steam)  
🗑
Condensation   Process of changing a substance from gas to a liquid (ie: moisture on your glasses coming into a warm house after being outside in the cold)  
🗑
Solidification   Process of changing a substance from liquid to a solid (ie: water freezing into ice)  
🗑
Sublimation   Process of changing directly from a gas to a solid or form a solid to a gas (ie: dry ice creates fog)  
🗑
Matter   Anything that has mass and takes up space  
🗑
Energy   ability to make things move  
🗑
Atom   The smallest unit of matter that maintains the characteristics of an element  
🗑
Weight   Weight is the amount of matter an object has with gravitational force  
🗑
Formula for calculating weight   Weight = gravitational force X Mass (measured in Newton)  
🗑
Formula to calculate flow rate   Volume / Time (ie: 640 ml: volume, 8 minutes: time = 640/8 = 80 ml per minute)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
