Question
Answer
Principle stating that the buoyant force exerted on an immersed body is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.   Archimedes' principle  
🗑
Principle stating that the total energy (represented by kinetic energy, potential energy, and pressure) for a confined ideal fluid flowing through a pipe is conserved at all locations within the pipe.   Bernoulli's principle  
🗑
Law stating that the volume of a confined gas is inversely proportional to the pressure it exerts, if the temperature remains constant.   Boyle's law  
🗑
Law stating that the volume of a confined gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature.   Charles's law  
🗑
The study of how fluid moves and how forces and energy are transmitted through fluids. Subdivided into hydrostatics and hydrodynamics.   fluid mechanics  
🗑
A property of all fluids in which pressure is exerted equally in all directions at any point in the fluid.   fluid pressure  
🗑
The SI unit of pressure equal to one Newton of force over a square meter (N/m x m).   pascal  
🗑
Principle stating that changes in pressure on the surface of a confined fluid are distributed equally throughout the fluid and at all points on the fluid's container.   Pascal's principle  
🗑
The force pushing directly on a given surface.   pressure  
🗑
The tendency of a fluid flowing past a curved surface to follow the surface.   Coanda effect  
🗑
The area of physics dealing with the transfer of forces and work done by confine fluids according to Pascal's principle.   hydraulics  
🗑
Water pressure due only to depth in a body of water.   hydrostatic pressure  
🗑
An instrument that measures atmospheric pressure. It consists of sealed glass tube of mercury containing a vacuum. The meniscus of the column indicates air pressure on a calibrated scale.   mercury barometer  
🗑
The ratio of a substance's density to water's density; a unit less quantity numerically equal to the density of the substance. Also called relative density.   specific gravity  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
