the effect of gravity on matter

Just as we are affected by gravity, plants also respond to gravity. Most of the plants being fixed at one place, their movements take place by bending their parts and are called curative movements. The movement of curvature in response to gravity is called geotropic m..

Effect of Temperature on Matter..

Pressure has little effect on the state of solids and liquids as the inter-particle distance is already minimized in these situations. However, the effect of pressure in case of gases is considerabl..

The temperature effect on heating a solid varies depending on the nature of the solid and the conditions required in bringing the chang..

Every particle of matter in a body is attracted to the Earth and the result of all these attractive forces is the weight of the body. Let w 1 , w 2 . . . . . . be the weights of a large number of particles of object whose total weight is W. Let the coordinates of each particle be (x 1 , y..

When we heat a solid, we add energy to the system increasing the vibration of the particles. Eventually these particles break free from their binding forces and melt. The normal melting point of a crystal is the temperature at which it melts under one atmospheric pressure. Increase in pressures usu..

>This is called as dual nature of mater. The radiation has a dual aspect behaving either as waves or as particles (waves when it interferes, diffracts and particles in a photocell). Einstein showed that a particle having a finite mass has been supposed to be associated with a definite amount of ene..

Particulate matter affects local climate since particulates with a diameter greater than 1 micrometer scatter incoming light away from the Earth's surface. This affects weather and plant productio..

When a powerful beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution placed in a dark room, the path of the beam gets illuminated and appears as a glow in the colloidal solution. This is because of scattering of light by the colloidal particles...
