charles law of gas. At constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of an gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature
boyles gas law. For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P [pressure] and V [volume] are inversely proportional (while one increases, the other decreases
bernulies fluid principals an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy
pascal pressure exerted anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid
arcamedes is an upward acting force, caused by fluid pressure, that opposes an object's weight (think of water and peoples weight)
four forces of flight lift thrust drag and weight.
