Q

Convection currents

A

Warm fluids rise bc their particles are moving faster
Cold fluids sink bc their particles are moving slower
Eg: in the ocean with tides

Q

How does tempature affect viscosity

A

The warmer the fluid, the less viscous it becomes
Eg: corn syrup flows easier when it’s warm
Eg: when u start ur engine on a cold day, the oil is cold and thick. When u start ur car engine, the oil warms up with it and becomes less viscous

Q

The particle theory

A

A way of describing matter and its Behavior

1) all matter is made of particles
2) all particles are in constant motion (absolute zero=no movement)
3) all particles of the same substance are identical (mixing more than 2 different substances is called alloy)
4) tempature effects the speed at which particles move at
5) there are spaces between particles
6) particles have forces of attraction between them

A

A decrease of volume

19
Q

Friction

A

Slows down motion

20
Q

Pump

A

Device that moves a fluid

21
Q

Buoyancy

A

Tendency of an object to rise or sink

22
Q

Hydrolics

A

A system that uses liquid under pressure

23
Q

Pressure

A

Amount of force applied to a given area

24
Q

SAE grades

A

The higher the first number, the higher the viscosity

Some of the numbers have a W to designate their “winter” or “cold start” viscosity, at a lower temperature

25
Q

Fluids

A

Fluids flow, take up space, move around easily, take the shape of the container

Liquids and gases are fluids

you can move through fluids

     EG: MARBLES ARE LIKE PARTICLES OF A FLUID
