particle physics

Cards (5)

  • Movement and arrangement in solids, liquids, and gases
    solid - fixed shape and volume, particles touching, particles vibrate next to each other, strong force
    liquid - fixed volume, not fixed shape, particles close together, move over eachother, medium strength
    gas - no fixed shape or volume, particles are far apart, move freely, weak force
  • density - measures how much mass is in a certain volume
  • denisty = mass / volume
    mass = volume x density
    volume = mass / density
  • heat capacity - the amount of heat needed to increase an objects temperature by 1 degrees
  • specific heat capacity - the amount of heat needed to increase 1kg's temperature by 1 degrees
