Question
Answer
density   rho = m/v SI units of kg/m^3 all fluids/solids will have constant density on MCAT  
🗑
specific gravity   S.G. = density of substance / density of water  
🗑
density of water in kg/m^3   1000  
🗑
density of water in g/cm^3   1  
🗑
fluid pressure   pressure experienced by object submersed in fluid, resulting from impulse of molecular collision on the surface area of the object; measure of KE due to random velocities of molecules w/in fluid distributed over fluid volume  
🗑
pressure equals..   P = F/A SI unit, Pascal  
🗑
pressure for fluid at rest   P = rho*g*y where y is the depth of the fluid  
🗑
in any fluid open to atmosphere, pressure equals   P = pgy + P atmosphere where Patmosphere = 101,000 Pa  
🗑
gauge pressure   measure of pressure compared to local atmospheric pressure  
🗑
Pascal's principle   pressure applied anywhere to an enclosed incompressible fluid will be distributed undiminished throughout the fluid  
🗑
hydraulic lift   simple machine that works via Pascal's principle where pushing up on piston 1 will push up piston 2 (pressure on incompressible fluid)  
🗑
buoyancy force   Fb = pfluid*V*g where V is the volume of the fluid displaced *doesn't change w/depth  
🗑
fraction submerged =   = density of floating object / density of the fluid  
🗑
ideal fluid   has no viscosity, is incompressible, lacks turbulence, and experiences irrotational flow, flow rate is constant  
🗑
continuity eqn   Q = Av where Q is the volume flow rate, A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe, and v is the velocity  
🗑
Bernoulli's eqn   P + pgh + 1/2pv^2 = constant  
🗑
velocity of fluid emptying in a tank   v = sqrt(2gh)  
🗑
fluid in pipe- as velocity increases, pressure...   decreases  
🗑
streamline   path followed by a hypothetical fluid particle; closer they are, the greater the velocity but they never intersect  
🗑
non-ideal fluids and pipe narrowing   will increase the velocity of the non-ideal fluid (so would ideal fluid) but drag must be taken into consideration - will not increase velocity as much as in ideal fluid  
🗑
fluid tends to flow from high pressure to low pressure - eqn?   change in pressure = Q*R where R is the resistance to flow  
🗑
surface tension   intensity of the intermolecular forces per unit length, responsible for formation of water droplets where intermolecular forces pull inward to minimize surface are  
🗑
surface tension is dependent on..   temp of fluid (higher T, weaker ST)  
🗑
capillary action   balance btw the intermolecular forces of the fluid molecules (cohesive) and the forces btw fluid molecules and the tubing (adhesive)  
🗑
cohesive forces stronger in tube..   (ST forces) fluid is pulled downward by ST and forms convex meniscus  
🗑
adhesive forces are stronger in tube ..   (forces btw fluid and tubing) fluid is pulled upward by ST and forms concave meniscus  
🗑
stress   force applied to object divided by the area over which the force is applied = F/A  
🗑
strain   fractional change in an object's shape = change in dimension/original dimension  
🗑
modulus of elasticity   stress/strain  
🗑
Young's modulus   (E) tensile stress modulus  
🗑
shear modulus   (G) shear stress modulus  
🗑
bulk modulus   (B) compression and expansion  
🗑
linear thermal expansion   change in length = length*alpha*change in T where alpha is constant unique to the particle substance  
🗑
volume thermal expansion   change in volume = volume * beta * change in T where beta is the constant unique to the particular substance  
🗑
