| rigid (adj)
| /ˈrɪdʒ.ɪd/
| the quantity of the object in which deformation is zero or so small it can be neglected

| angular acceleration
| /ˈæŋgjʊlər əkˌsɛləˈreɪʃ(ə)n/
| the time rate of change of angular velocity
| Angular acceleration is measured in units of angle per unit time squared (which in SI units is radians per second squared), and is usually represented by the symbol alpha (α)
| Угловое ускорение
| angular momentum
| /ˈæŋgjʊlə məʊˈmɛntəm/
| the quantity of rotation of a body, which is the product of its moment of inertia and its angular velocity
| In physics, angular momentum (rarely, moment of momentum or rotational momentum) is the rotational equivalent of linear momentum.

| solid (n, c)
| /ˈsɒl.ɪd/
| a state of matter characterized by particles arranged such that their shape and volume are relatively stable
| Solids are divided into two main categories, crystalline solids and amorphous solids, based on how the particles are arranged.
| Твердый
| liquid (n, c)
| /ˈlɪk.wɪd/
| a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress, or external force
| Thus, liquids in equilibrium in the magma chamber will react if simultaneously drawn up through the venting conduit.
| Жидкий
| gas (n, c)
| ɡas
| a substance that has neither any shape nor any definite volume
| Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, poisonous gas.
| Газ
| plasma (n, u)
| /ˈplæz.mə/ a
| a state of matter in which an ionized gaseous substance becomes highly electrically conductive to the point that long-range electric and magnetic fields dominate the behaviour of the matter
|
Plasma temperature is commonly measured in kelvin or electronvolts and is, informally, a measure of the thermal kinetic energy per particle.
| Плазма
| density (n, u)
| /ˈden.sɪ.ti/
| he mass per unit volume of any object
| In the spherical implosion case, the mode number increases and the lower areal density is observed. Plasma temperature is commonly measured in kelvin or electronvolts and is, informally, a measure of the thermal kinetic energy per particle.
| Плотность
| pressure (n, u)
| /ˈpreʃ.ər/
| he amount of force applied at right angles to the surface of an object per unit area
| Types of Pressures are Absolute, Atmospheric, Differential, and Gauge Pressure.
| Давление
| Archimedes’ principle
| /ˌɑːkɪˈmiːdiːz ˈprɪnsəpl/
| principle that states: An object immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force that is equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the displaced fluid.
| Archimedes' principle allows the buoyancy of any floating object partially or fully immersed in a fluid to be calculated.
| Принцип Архимеда
| surface tension
| /ˈsɜːfɪs ˈtɛnʃən/
| the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible
| In fact, other than mercury, water has the greatest surface tension of any liquid.

| heat (n, u)
| /hiːt/
| a form of energy that can be transferred from one object to another or even created at the expense of the loss of other forms of energy
| To review, temperature is a measure of the ability of a substance, or more generally of any physical system, to transfer heat energy to another physical system.
| Нагревать
| temperature scale
| /ˈtɛmprɪʧə skeɪl/
| a methodology of calibrating the physical quantity temperature in metrology
| Temperature scales measure temperature in relation to convenient and stable parameters, such as the freezing and boiling point of water.
| Температурная шкала
| mercury (n, u)
| / ˈməːkjəri /
| the chemical element of atomic number 80, a heavy silvery-white metal which is liquid at ordinary temperatures
| The column of mercury in a thermometer or barometer, or its height as indicating atmospheric temperature or pressure.
| Ртуть
| thermometer (n, c)
| /θəˈmɒmɪtə/
| an instrument for measuring and indicating temperature
| Thermometers are also available with digital displays that facilitate easy reading of the temperature, beepers to signal when it is time to withdraw the thermometer, and flexible tubes to resist breakage.
| Термометр
| thermal expansion
| / ˈθɜːməl ɪksˈpænʃən /
| the general increase in the volume of a material as its temperature is increased
| The coefficient of thermal expansion describes how the size of an object changes with a change in temperature.
| Тепловое расширение
| ideal gas
| / aɪˈdɪəl gæs /
| a theoretical gas composed of many randomly moving point particles that are not subject to interparticle interactions.
| If the pressure of an ideal gas is reduced in a throttling process the temperature of the gas does not change.
