science Flashcards
What is cohesion
The force of attraction between the particles of a substance.
What is adhesion
The force of attraction between particles of a fluid and particles of an other substance.
What is the difference between laminar and turbulent flow?
Laminar flow is smooth and regular and turbulent flow is chaotic and irregular.
What is viscosity?
What are examples of a viscous and non viscous fluid?
Viscosity is a measure of the thickness of a fluid. The more viscous it is the thicker it is.
Syrup is very viscous and water is not very viscous.
what is flow rate?
A measure of how quickly fluids move.
What are some examples of laminar and turbulent flow?
Turbulent could be white water rafting. Laminar could be water running through a pipe.
What is an example of both laminar and turbulent flow.
When you turn on the sink the water moves down perfectly but when it reaches the sink and stops flowing in a tube like shape it becomes turbulent.
Your bloodstream has a laminar flow. If your blood starts to clot your bloodstream becomes turbulent.
What is the particle theory?
1: All matter is made up of tiny particles.
2: Particles have space in between.
3: Particles are always moving.
4: Particles move faster when heated.
5: Particles are attracted to each other.
What are the 6 main bodily fluids?
1: Sweat
2: Oxygen
3: Blood
4: Urine
5: Stomach acid
6: Saliva
What is an eddy?
An eddy occurs when there is a structure that blocks a fluid flowing. This makes the fluid move in a circular motion.
What are fluid mechanics?
The study of how fluids behave in both at rest and in motion.
What are Fluid dynamics?
The study of fluids in motion.
What are aerodynamics?
Aerodynamics is the study of moving gasses.
What are hydrodynamics?
Hydrodynamics is the study of moving liquids
Streamlined?
A smooth shape designed to decrease resistance to fluid flow so it can flow easier.
