Density Vocabulary Definitions

• 
  
• 
  
• 1.      Mass - A measure of how much matter is in an object. (M=V x D)
  2.      Weight- The amount of force the acceleration of gravity exerts on an object.
  3.      Gravity- The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.
  4.      Matter- Anything that has mass and takes up space.
  5.      Density- The amount of matter in a given volume. (D=M/V)
  6.      Volume- The amount of space an object takes up.  (V= M/D)
  7.      Displacement- The volume or weight of a fluid displaced by a floating body of equal weight
  8.      Ratio- A way of concisely showing the relationship between two quantities of something. The quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other
  9.      Proportional- Relationship between two quantities is one in which the two quantities vary directly with one and other. If one item is doubled, the other, related item is also doubled.

Topic: States of Matter
Home Learning: Study vocabulary, notes, and complete assignments not finished in class.

States of Matter Vocabulary

• Molecule- a group  of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound
• State of Matter- is one of the four distinct forms that matter take on
• Liquid- is a substance with a definite volume but not a definite shape.
• Gas- is a substance that does not have a definite volume or shape.
• Solid- is a substance with a definite volume and shape. Particles are close together and do not move freely
• Plasma-  a state of matter (in fact the most common state of matter) made from a gas that has lost its electrons from heat

Topic: Thermal Energy/ Heat Transfer
Home Learning: Students will study vocabulary, notes, and complete assignments not finished during class. 

Thermal Energy/Heat Transfer Vocabulary

• Temperature- measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance
• Heat- transfer of thermal energy between substances that are at different temperatures
• Heat Transfer- transfer of heat through convection, conduction, and radiation
• Conduction- transfer of heat  from a warmer substance to a cooler substance through direct contact
• Radiation- transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
• Convection- transfer of heat through fluids in a circular motion
• Thermal Energy- total amount of kinetic energy contained in the particles of a substance
• Equilibrium- heat flowing through objects until they reach the same temperature
• Specific Heat-the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount 
• Law of Conservation of Energy- Energy can't be created nor destroyed only transferred or transformed
