Science chp3 Flashcards
fluid
a non solid state of matter
presure
the amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface
pascal
the si unit of presure
atmospheric presure
the light weight pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere
buoyant force
the upward force that keeps an object immersed in a floating liquid
Archimedes principle
the principle that states the buoyant force of an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight pf the volume of fluid the the object displaces
Bernoulli principle
the principle that states the pressure in a fluid decreases in a fluid as the fluids velocity increases
lift
the upward force or pulling that moves in a fluid
thrust
the pushing or pulling force exerted by the engine or aircraft or a rocket
drag
a force to pull the velocity of the flow it opposes the direction of the aircraft an in combination with thrust determines the speen of an aircraft determines the speed
pascals principle
the principle that states that a fluid contained in a vessels exerts a presure of equal internisty
