Fluid Principles Matching Flashcards
The faster a fluid flows; the less pressure. The slower a fluid flows; the greater the pressure. Explains why airplanes fly
Bernoulli’s Principle
The buoyant force on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Explains why an object will sink or float
Archimedes Principe
This equals force divided by area
Pressure
The amount of a liquid normally measured in mL or L
Volume
This equal mass divided by volume
Density
Hydraulic machines work in accordance with this principle about the pressure of fluids; when pressure is applied to a fluid, it spends throughout the fluid
Pascal’s Principles
The upward force exerted by a fluid that helps an object float
Buoyancy
