Vocab Flashcards
The principal that states that the pressurein a fluid decreases as the fluid’s velocity increases.
Bernoulli’s Principal.
An upward force on an object that moves in a fluid
Lift
The pushing or pulling force exerted by the engine of an aircraft or rocket.q
Thrust
A force parrapllel to the velocity of the flow; it opposes the diretion of an aircraft and, in combination with thrust, determines the speed of an aircraft.
drag
The principal that states that a fluid in equilibrium contained in a vessel ecerts a pressure of equal intensity in all direction
Pascal’s principal
The upward force that keeps an oject immersed in or floating on a liquid.
Buoyant force
The principal that states that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of fluid that the object displaces
Archimedes’ principal
A nonsolid state of matter in which atoms or molecules are free to move past ecah other
Fluid
the amount of force exerted per uit area of a surface
pressure
the SI unit of pressure
