The main media of the material layer are the contact forces that bind material molecules together as solid, liquid, gas.
| State of Matter | Intermolecular Force | Radiant Energy |
|---|---|---|
| Solid | Strong | Potential |
| Liquid | Medium | |
| Gas | Weak | Kinetic |
This leads to the concepts of pressure such as air pressure and hydraulic pressure.
The material forces are:
| Force | States | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Friction | Solid, Liquid, Gas | |
| Air Resistance or Drag | Gas | |
| Tension | Solid | |
| Contact Force | Solid, Liquid, Gas | |
| Buoyant Force | Liquid |
Avogadro’s Number
Avogadro’s Number is the number of molecules in a mole. This is then used to determine the mass of a molecule.
Bernoulli’s Principle
We explained this in Part 2 to describe the dynamics of gravity as high-low pressure.
