1.1 Flashcards
Matter
Is anything that occupies space
Matter is found in following states:
Soild liquid gas
Volume
Is the amount of space that an object or substance occupies
Mass
is the amount of matter that a body contains
Weight
Is a measurement of force caused by gravity on a unit of mass
Gravity
Is a force that attracts objects toward the center of the earth
Force
is the total pressure acting upon an object
Pressure
is the force per unit of area measured in pounders per square inch(PSI)
Static pressure
is pressure in a confined space or not causing motion
Impact pressure
is pressure caused by motion
Relative pressure
is one pressure in relation to another
absolute pressure
is the sum of atmospheric pressure and system pressure starting from a theoretical vaccum
Pascals Law
Pressure applied to enclosed/confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions without loss.
Bernoulli
When pressure increases, velocity decrease.
When velocity increases, pressure decreases
Convergent Venture Tube
Increase velocity/decrease pressure
