Analysing Changes Between Liquids and Solids

States of Matter Solids, liquids, and gases are the three types of matter we encounter in everyday life. Let’s take a look at the transition from solids to liquids and the melting point of solids. The liquid phase is distinguished by large-scale relative particle movement, which results in liquids displaying elastic and viscous behaviour. Solids […]

An Ultimate Guide on the Three States of matter

Every substance we see in our daily life or observe is made up of matter. The matter is composed of very minute particles which cannot be seen by our naked eyes. Generally, in nature, there are three states of matter. The three states are solid, liquid and gas. Each state is defined by different intermolecular

All about changes between solid to liquid

In our everyday life generally, matter exists in three forms, namely solids, liquids and gases. Here we will discuss the interchangeability factor for the states of matter. For this interchangeability occurrence, some conditions are required and knowing about how this process takes place. The changing of states of matter is used to occur through the

A Brief Guide to Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids

We usually use the terms liquid and fluid interchangeably in general to refer to something that is in a liquid state, such as water. However, there is a stark difference in both terms.  In physics, the term fluid refers to any liquid, gas or other material that continuously changes its shape and form under the

Density of Air

The mass of a unit volume of a substance is defined as the density of that substance. The kilogramme per metre cube is the SI unit of density (kg m-3). Under specific conditions, the density of any given substance remains constant. Any substance’s density is one of its distinguishing characteristics. It varies a lot depending

Band Theory of Metals

Band theory is a theoretical model in solid-state physics that defines the states of electrons in solid materials that can only have energy values within defined ranges. In a solid, the behaviour of an electron (and consequently its energy) is influenced by the behaviour of all other particles. In contrast, an electron’s behaviour in free

Relationship Of Bulk Modulus With Atomic Radius

Bulk modulus can also be defined as the volume modulus, and it can be said as the compressibility factor. If we want to determine the compression ability, we use the modulus formula. Elasticity will also tell you about the material stiffness and flexibility. In this article, we will define bulk modulus and its relationship with

What is shear stress? Understanding its causes

Introduction An object’s stress consists of how much deforming force is applied per unit area of the object. Shear and tensile stress are different kinds of tension applied to an object differently. On one hand, tensile stress is the result of applying deforming forces at right angles to a surface, whereas shear stress is caused

Understanding The Usage of the Young’s Modulus

Understanding when an item or substance will bend or break is one of the most important engineering tests, and Young’s modulus is the property that tells us this. It assesses a material’s ability to stretch and distort. Wires, like springs, adhere to Hooke’s law. When a force F is released, a distance x is stretched,

True Stress And Strain

Before going to the description of true stress and strain, first, we will discuss the definition of stress and strain. Stress is known for the external force applied per unit area. The unit of stress is  N/m2. Strain is known for the deformation undergone by the object in the direction of force applied that leads
