Term Definition
thermal energy the sum of the kenetic and potential energy of the individual particles of a substance
heat movement of thermal energy from a substance at a higher temperature to a substance at a lower temperature
energy the ability to move
matter anything that has mass and takes up space
density physical property that can be found by dividing the matter's mass and volume
evaporation vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid molecules must be at or near the surface and at th right speed to evaporate
boiling point vaporization that occurs below the liquid's surface or when water changes to gas
Archimedes' Principal states that buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of fluid displaced by the object
Pascal's Principle states that when a force is applied to a confined fluid, an increase in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts
state of matter physical property that describes a substance as a gas, solid, or liquid
freezing point the change from liquid to solid
vaporization a change of matter from liquid to state
condensation change of matter from a gas to a liquid
melting point change of matter from a solid state to a liquid state
pressure the amount of force applied per unit area on an object's surface
buoyant force upward force exerted from an object immersed in a fluid
gas matter that does not have a definite shape or volume
solid has a definite shape and volume
liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape
kinetic energy energy an object has due to its motion
amorphous solids particles found in random arrangment
