6.1-6.3 Flashcards
Fluid
a nonsolid state of matter in which the atoms or molecule are free to move past each other
Pressure
the amount of force exerted per unit area fo a surface
pascal
the SI unit of pressure
atmospheric pressure
the pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere
buoyant force
the upward force that keep an object immersed in or floating on a liquid
Archimedes’ principle
the prinicable that states that the buoyant force on a object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of fluid taht the object displaces
Bernoulli’s principle
the princiable that states that the pressure in a fluid decreases as the fluid’s velocity increases
lift
an upward force on an object that moves in a fluid
thrust
the pushing or pulling force exerted by the engine of an aircraft or rocket
drag
a force parellel to the velocity of the flow
pascal’s priciable
the princiable taht states that a fluid in equilibruim contained of equal intensity in all direction
