cohesion

Answer 21

like molecules attract eachother

Question 22

adhesion

Answer 22

different molecules of various substances are attracted to eachother

Question 23

concave miniscus

Answer 23

when molecules of liquid are attracted to the tube they are in
-water

Question 24

convex miniscus

Answer 24

when molecules of liquid are more attracted than themselves than the tube

Question 25

laminar flow through a long cylindrical tube

Question 32

pousieilles law

Answer 32

Q= pi r^4 ΔP/ (8nL) n - viscocity q - flow rate

Question 33

pousieilles law

Answer 33

Q= pi r^4 ΔP/ (8nL) n - viscocity q - flow rate

Answer 37

inversely related to r^4

Question 38

bernouilles law

Answer 38

conservation of energy in fluids P1 + .5pv^2 + pgh = P2 + .5pv^2 + pgh - at constant hieght, increase in velocity decreases pressure

higher velocity and lower pressure

Question 42

what happens to pressure in a narrower tube

Answer 42

lower pressure

Question 43

venturi effect

Answer 43

velocity of a fluid is linked to a decrease in pressure

Question 44
