Four States of Matter

Solids
– low KE - particles vibrate but
can’t move around
– atoms held tightly into place
– definite shape & volume
Four States of Matter

Liquids
– higher KE - particles can move
around but are still close
together
– no definite shape
– definite volume
Four States of Matter

Gases
– high KE - particles can separate
and move throughout container
– no definite shape & volume
– move more quickly than particles
that make up solids
Four States of Matter

Plasma
– very high KE – made up of charged
particles (+/-)
– gas-like, indefinite
shape & volume
– most common state
of matter
– stars
Pressure
• Pressure is the amount of force
exerted per unit of area, or P = F/A.
• Pressure is measured in a unit called
Pascal (Pa), the SI unit of pressure.
• Most matter expands when heated.
Heating Curves

Heat of Fusion
– energy required to change from solid to
liquid
– some attractive forces are broken
Heating Curves

Heat of Vaporization
– energy required to change from liquid to
gas
– all attractive forces are broken
Archimedes’ Principle
 Archimedes
- Whether an object will sink or float in a fluid

Viscosity
– Resistance to flow by a fluid
Archimedes’ Principle

Archimedes’ Principle
– the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is
equal to the weight of fluid displaced by the
object

Archimedes’ Principle

Buoyant Force
– upward force exerted by a fluid on an immersed
object
– buoyant force > weight
balloon rises
– buoyant force < weight
balloon sinks
– buoyant force = weight
balloon floats
Charles’ Law
• According to Charles’s law, the volume of a
gas increases with increasing temperature,
(at constant pressure)

Pascal’s Principle

Pascal’s Principle
– pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted
unchanged throughout the fluid

Boyle’s Law

When the volume of a gas decreases, its
pressure increases (at constant temp).
• As the volume is
increased, the
pressure will
decrease.

Bernoulli’s Principle

Bernoulli’s Principle
– as the velocity of a fluid increases, the
pressure exerted by the fluid decreases
– why planes fly
Thermal Expansion
When concrete
absorbs heat, it
expands. Then when
it cools, it contracts.
 If expansion joints
are not used, the
concrete will crack
when the
temperature changes.

Charles’ Law
•If you place a balloon in a freezer the
molecules will slow down and the balloon
will shrink as the volume decreases
Charles’ Law

Absolute Zero - Temp at which...
– the volume of a gas would equal zero.
– all particle motion would stop.
