what is fluid
fluid is any substance that can flow normally liquids or gas
what is liquid
liquid is and fluid that can take a shape
what is gas
a type of fluid that has no definite shape
what is pressure
pressure is force applied over area
what is atmospheric pressure
the pressure of the air and the elevation
what is elevation
elevation is the higher you get above sea level
what is density
a measure of how tightly packed an object is
what is buoyant force
buoyant force is the force keeping things floating and causes displacement
what causes pressure to increase
area decrease
what causes pressure to decrease
area increase
does the pressure of fluid increase of decrease with depth
increase with depth
what is under water pressure
the pressure of air and water on you
archimedes principle states…
that a buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid
the grater the ___ an object has the more it weighs
mass
what causes an object to float
the buoyancy and if the weight equals the buoyant fore or not, and volume the larger equals more buoyancy and more displaced fluids
