Chapter 2 (new book) Flashcards
fluid
non solid state of matter where the atoms can move past eachother
pressure
amount of force exerted per unit area of surface
pascal
SI unit of pressure
atmospheric pressure
the pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere
Boyant force
upward force that keeps an object immersed in or floating in a liquid
Archimedes’ Principal
The principal that states that the buoyant force of an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of a fluid that the object displaces
bernoulli’s Principle
The principle that states that the pressure exerted inside of a fluid is decreased as its velocity increases
Thrust
forward push created from an aircraft’s engine
Drag
a force parralell to the velocity of the flow and resists movement
Pascal’s Priciple
The principle that states that a fluid in equilibrium contained in a vessel exerts a pressure of equal intensity in all directions
