2.3 Behavior of liqu
6th grade Glencoe Science
Question | Answer |
---|---|
pressure | equal to the force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted. pressure = force / area |
buoyant force | The difference in pressure results in an upward force on an object immersed in a fluid |
Archimedes' principle | the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. |
density | mass divided by volume density = mass / volume |
pascal's principle | When a force is applied to a confined fluid, an increase in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid |
