Physics Density + Pressure Flashcards
Pressure
Amount of force acting on a unit of area
P= f/a
Unit- pa (pascal)
Density
Mass per unit volume
M/v
Unit kg(m3)
Pressure in liquid
= pgh
Density( 9.8) (depth)
Increases with depth
Archimedes principle
When a body is partially or completely immersed in a fluid it experiences an upthrust equal to the weight of fluid displaced
Upthrust / buoyancy
Upwards Force on a body due to a liquid
Law of flotation
Weight of a floating body , is equal to the weight of fluid displaced
Hydrometer
Follows law of flotation floats higher on denser liquid
Used in finding:
% alcohol in beer, wine etc
% milk in milk
Bends
Humans are accustomed to normal atmospheric pressure , when diving deep, and they come up too quickly, too much nitrogen is absorbed in the blood , forming bubbles hurts + can kill
Cure decompression chamber
Boyles law
The volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to it’s pressure at a constant temperature
Know experiment + graph
