chapter 3 book 2 Flashcards
nonsolid state in which molecules can move freely past one another
fluid
the amount of force exerted per unit area of surface
pressure
SI unit of pressure (pa)
Pascal
pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere
atmospheric pressure
upward force that keeps an object immersed in or floating on a liquid
buoyant force
principal that states 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 that the pressure in a fluid decreases as the fluid’s velocity increases
Bernoulli’s Principle
principle that states that a fluid in equilibrium contained contained in a vessel exerts a pressure equal of intensity in all directions
Pascal’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 opposing motion and along with thrust, this determines the speed
drag
