Fluids

Question 1

Define fluids

Answer 1

substances with no defined for and can flow in all directions

Question 2

what are the two things we consider fluids?

Answer 2

liquids and gasses

Question 3

What are collisions among particles a sign of

Answer 3

pressure

Question 4

What is the formula for pressure and what is each variable measured in?

Answer 4

P = F/A

p= pressure (measured in Pascals)
F= force (measured in newtons)
A= surface area (measured in meters squared)

Question 5

define pressure

Answer 5

the amount of force exerted per area

Question 6

The larger the surface area the _____ the pressure (fill in the blank) and when does this rule apply

Answer 6

lower. and it applies when the degree of force is the same

Question 7

If the surface area is the same, what would you do to increase the pressure

Answer 7

increase the force

Question 8

why does temperature affect pressure when it comes to gasses?

Answer 8

the higher the temperature, the faster the particles move. Faster particles= more collision= more pressure

Question 9

with gasses, an __________ in volume will decrease the pressure (fill in the blank) and explain why it happens

Answer 9

increase. because there’s more space to move = less collisions = less pressure
