Chapter 3, Book 2, Section 1,2,3 Flashcards
A non-solid state of matter in which the molecules are free to move past each other as a gas or liquid
Fluid
The amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface
Pressure
The SI Unit of Pressure
Pascal
The Light weight pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere
Atmospheric Pressure
The upward force that keeps an object immersed in floating or a liquid
Buoyant Force
The Principle that states the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the wight of the volume of fluid that the object dipaces
Archimedes Principle
The principle that states that the pressure in a fluid decreases in a fluid as the fluids velocity increases
Bernoulli’s Principle
An upward force on an object that moves in fluid
Lift
The pushing or pulling force exerted by the engine of an aircraft or rocket
Thrust
A force to pull the velocity of the flow it opposes the direction of the aircraft and in combination with thrust determines the speed of the airvraft
Drag
The principle that states that a fluid in equilibrium contained in a vessel exerts a pressure of equal intensity in all directions
Pascal’s Principle
