Book 2 Chapter 3 Section 1-4 Flashcards
non solid state of matter which the atoms are free to move past each other
Fluid
amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface
Pressure
the SI unit of pressure
pascal
pressure caused by weight of the atmosphere
Atmospheric Pressure
upward force that keeps an object immersed in or floating on a liquid
buoyant force
principle that states that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of fluid that the object displaces
Archimedes’ Principle
principle that states the pressure in a fluid decreases as the fluid’s velocity increases
Bernoulli’s principle
upward force on an object that moves in a fluid
lift
pushing or pulling force exerted by the engine of an aircraft or rocket
thrust
force parallel to the velocity of the flow; it opposes the direction of an aircraft and, in combination with thrust, determines the speed of the aircraft
drag
principle that states that a fluid in equilibrium contained in a vessel exerts intensity in all directions
Pascal’s Principle
