Question
Answer
___________ is a fluid's resistance to flow(how difficult it is for fluid to flow)   Viscosity  
If a fluid is thick, the viscosity is:   greater, flows slower  
The ____________ is the speed at which a liquid flows   flow rate  
when _________ the particles in a substance move further apart   heated  
when gasses are heated the viscosity of the gas _________   increases  
when liquids are heated, the viscosity of the liquid _______   decreases  
_____________ is the property of fluids that makes the particles hold together because they are attracted to each other   cohesion  
_____________ is the effect that the particles at the surface attract each other and form a "skin"   surface tension  
___________ is the attraction between particles of a fluid and another substance so that the fluid clings to it   adhesion  
in a gas or a liquid, the deeper you go, the ______ the pressure is   greater  
in a gas or a liquid, the deeper you go, the greater the pressure is because   there is more air or liquid above the point pushing down  
because of all the air in the atmosphere, the pressure at sea level is a little more than:   100kPa  
100kPa is called:   one atmosphere  
the ____________ you go in a gas or a liquid, the less pressure there is   higher  
for every 10m deeper in water, the pressure increases by:   1 atmosphere  
________ is the tendency for objects to rise or float in a fluid   buoyancy  
buoyancy occurs because:   differences in density of the object and the fluid  
______________ is the force of the fluid pushing up on the object   buoyant force  
hot air rises because of buoyant force on the hotter air. this process is called:   convection  
ovjects float or sink based on:   whether the buoyant force is greater or less than the gravitational force  
when pressure is applied at one point in a fluid in an enclosed system, that pressure is transmitted _____ thoughout the entire system.   qually  
when pressure is applied at one point in a fluid in an enclosed system, that pressure is transmitted equally thoughout the entire system. called:   static pressure  
________ is the sideways pressure exerted by a fluid in motion   dynamic pressure  
as the speed of a fluid increases, the dynamic pressure __________   decreases  
________________ are systems that use pressure in liquids to do work   Hydraulic systems  
(true or false) since liquids aren't normally compressible, applying a force to a liquid transmits the force along the liquid   True  
2 important parts of hydraulic systems are _____ and _____   pumps and valves  
what do pumps do in the hydraulic system?   put the liquid under pressure  
what do valves do in the hydraulic system?   control the passage of the liquid through a pipe  
Hydraulic systems can also be used to:   multiply the force exerted by a liquid  
_____________ are systems that use pressure in gases to do work   pneumatic systems  
since gases can be compressed, pneumatic systems use ______   compressors  
the gas is compressed and then when the pressure is released, the expansion of the gas causes:   a short burst of strong, steady force to do work  
common problems in pneumatic systems are:   1. loss of pressure due to leaks in the system 2. reduction of the gas flow due to blockage of the passageway  
The ________ transports blood throughout the body   circulatory system  
the _____ is the pump which moves the blood through the blood vessels   heart  
the blood is kept under pressure to move it to all parts of the body. each beat _____ the pressure, and then it falls again before the next beat   inreases  
blood pressure is measured with a :   sphygmomanometer  
blockages in the vessles cause increased pressure, which can cause them to:   burst  
the ______ brings air into the body and removes corbon dioxide from the body   respiratory system  
_____ changes the air pressure to make the air move   breathing  
when you inhale, the increased space _____ the air pressure inside your lungs, so the higher pressure outside pushes air in   reduces  
when you exhale, the _____ and ribs compress the air in your lungs and so it is pushed out of the body   diaphragm  
infections and diseases such as asthma _____ the air passages, resulting in difficulty breathing   narrows  
when you breathe in:   the diaphragm moves down and the chest cavity expands  
when you breathe out:   the diaphragm moves up and the chest cavity contracts
