Ch 11 - Forces in Fluids
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What happens to air pressure at higher altitudes? | Air pressure decreases. |
| How many pistons do hydraulic systems use? | There are two pistons which have different surface areas. |
| What happens to water pressure as the depth increases? | Water pressure increases. |
| How does the pressure outside of your body compare to the pressure inside your body? | The pressure inside balances the air pressure outside. |
| Which directions does a buoyant force work? | It generally acts upwards. |
| How does density of a submarine decrease? | It releases water from flotation tanks. |
| How does the pressure of a moving stream compare to the pressure of surrounding fluid? | The pressure is less than the surrounding fluid. |
| What is the formula for density? | Mass divided by volume of a substance. |
| Pressure can be measured using what metric? | Newtons per square cenitmeter. |
| If the density of an object is higher than the density of a fluid, what happens? | The object sinks. |
| If the density of an object is lower than the density of a fluid, what happens? | The object floats. |
| What is a fluid? | A substance that can easily flow and change shape. |
| What is an independent variable? | The variable that is being changed on purpose. |
| What is a dependent variable? | The variable that measures a change. |
| What is a control variable? | The variable that remains the same. |
| What is the formula for fluid pressure? | The total force of a fluid divided by the area. |
| What multiplies a force by transmitting a change in pressure from a smaller surface area to a larger surface area? | A hydraulic system. |
| What happens when you increase the temperature of a sealed container? | The pressure of the gas will increase. |
| What is Pascal's principle? | The pressure contained in a fluid is spread equally. |
| What is Archimedes' principle? | The buoyant force acting on an object equals the weight of the fluid displaced. |
| What is Bernoulli's principle? | The pressure in a moving stream of fluid is less than the fluid that surrounds it. |
| Why do you float higher in salt water than in fresh water? | The potential buoyant force is greater in salt water. |
| When you place an object in water, why does the water level rise? | The object has volume. |
| What is the upward force on a flying object called? | Lift. |
| What does increasing the number of molecules in a sealed container of gas do? | It causes the pressure of the gas to increase. |
| What does increasing the volume of a sealed container of gas do? | It causes the pressure of the gas to decrease. |
| What are buoyant forces caused by? | Differences in pressure. |
| As a diver rises to the surface of the water, what happens? | The pressure of the person's body gets lower. |
| As wind flows over a building, it typically accelerates producing a low pressure uplifting force. Which principle does this relate to? | Bernoulli's principle. |
