Q

Ex, of Archimedes’ principle and why it happens.

A

Putting paper clips in a tin foil boat on water until it sinks. It sinks because the tin foil with paper clips is more dense than water, causing the boat to sink.

Q

Ex, of Pascal’s principle and why it happens.

A

When you squeeze one end of a toothpaste tube, toothpaste emerges from the other end. The pressure has been transmitted through the fluid toothpaste. Also, when you squeeze one end of a balloon, the balloon expands out on the other end.

Q

What is a description of Bernoulli’s principle?

A

As the velocity (speed and direction) of a fluid increases the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases. Fast speed: Low Pressure. Low speed: Higher Speed. (Coming from it)

Q

Ex, of Bernoulli’s principle and why it happens.

A

We put a ping pong ball over a hair dryer and it floated instead of sinking because the velocity of the air pushing the ping pong ball up is greater than the more pressure around the hair dryer.

Q

Explain what two opposing forces are acting on a liquid in water.

A

The two opposing forces that are acting on water are buoyancy (an upward pushing force) and Buoyancy= Boing and gravity (a downward pulling force). (More density=down)

Q

How does Archimedes’ principle enable heavy ships to float?

A

Archimedes’ principle enable heavy ships to float because the ship weights less than the water it displaces and it is able to float because of the air at the bottom of the boat.

Q

Explain how Pascal’s Principle works in a mustard bottle.

A

Pascal’s Principle works in a mustard bottle because the mustard is transmitted throughout the fluid out the other end due to applying pressure to one side.

19
Q

Explain how in Bernoulli’s principle roofs are lifted off of buildings in tornados.

A

In a tornado, due to the winds speed, less pressure exerts. The air in the home is slower, so more pressure exerts leading to the roof blowing off. This is why it is not the wind causing the roof to come off in a tornado, it is the air in the home pushing the roof off.

20
Q

Think Critically. If you fill a balloon with air, tie it off, and release it, it will fall to the floor. Why does it fall instead of float? What if the balloon contained helium?

A

It falls instead of floats because the balloon with compressed air in the balloon is more dense than the air or the balloon has a higher density than the air around it, so it sinks. Whereas, if the balloon contained helium the balloon would weigh less than the air it displaces, so it is able to float.

21
Q

If a fluid is described to have a high viscosity, then will it flow very quickly or very slowly?

A

If a fluid is described to have a high viscosity, then it will be flowing very slowly.

22
Q

How does temperature affect the viscosity of a fluid?

A

Temperature affects the viscosity of a fluid because if a temperature rises the particles will break from the attractive forces causing the viscosity to be lower and flow quicker. (Kind of like a Phase Change.)

23
Q

In our lab, how did the temperature affect the liquid’s viscosity? Using what you know about how heat affects matter, explain why heat affects a liquid’s viscosity.

A

When heat is added in matter the particles gain energy, move faster and further apart, and the particles break away from their attractive forces. The rising temperature affected the liquid’s viscosity by making the particles gain energy and the flow of the fluid was increasingly faster, so when heat is added to a fluid it lower’s its viscosity.

24
Q

Write a statement that summarizes the information I discovered in this lab.

A

When you add heat to a more dense liquid its viscosity lowers and the flow of the liquid is faster.

25
Q

Property

A

A characteristic or trait.

26
Q

Do faster moving fluids exert more or less pressure? What about the slower moving fluids?

A

Faster moving fluids (liquids or gases) exert less pressure. Slower moving fluids exert more pressure.

27
Q

In Bernoulli’s principle when you blow on the top of paper, why does it rise?

A

The velocity of the air you blew over the top surface of the paper is greater than that of the quiet air below it. As a result, the air pressure pushing down on the top of paper is lower than the air pushing up on the paper.
The net force below the paper pushes the paper upward.

28
Q

What principle do hydraulic machines relate to, how so?

A

Hydraulic machines relate to Pascal’s principle because a pipe that is filled with fluid connects a small and large cylinder. Pressure applied to the small cylinder is transferred through the fluid to the large cylinder.

29
Q

If a non compressed air mattress has a 40 pound child on one side of the air mattress and a 235 pound man jumps on the other side of the mattress and the child goes flying it the air, what is this principle called and why?

A

This principle is called Pascal’s principle pressure is being put on the fluid on one end, but the fluid ends up moving throughout the container it is in.

30
Q

How do pressure zones change as the velocity of a fluid increases?

A

Pressure zones decreases as velocity increases.

31
Q

What is Charles’ categorization?

A

A french scientist.

32
Q

What did Charles’ discover?

A

Temperature and Volume!

33
Q

When did Charles’ discover temperature and volume?

A

(1746 – 1823)

34
Q

What did Charles’ and Boyle study?

A

Gases

35
Q

What was Charles’ law?

A

According to Charles’s Law, the volume of a gas increases with increasing temperatures. Or when temperature is lowered, the volume decreases.

36
Q

What is an example of Charles’ law? (In Class)

A

When we placed the balloon in the hot water beaker, the size of the balloon increased. When we moved the balloon to the cold water beaker, the size of the balloon decreased.

37
Q

How can Charles’ law be explained?

A

Charles’s law can be explained using the kinetic theory of matter.

38
Q

What is Boyle’s categorization?

A

A British Scientist.

39
Q

What did Boyle discover?

A

Volume and Pressure!

40
Q

When did Boyle discover volume and pressure?

A

(1627 – 1692)

41
Q

What was Boyle’s law?

A

According to Boyle’s law, if you decrease the volume of a container of gas and hold the temperature constant, the pressure of the gas will increase. Just the same, an increase in the volume of the container causes the pressure to drop, if the temperature remains constant.

42
Q

Give an example of volume and pressure laws?

A

Pulling up in a container increases the volume, but decreases the pressure. While, pushing down decreases the volume, but increases the pressure.
