fluid pressure

        Help!  

Question
Answer
3 main state of matter   solid liquid gas  
🗑
Anything that flows and takes the shape of its container   fluid  
🗑
Fluids can be what 2 states of matter   liquid or gas  
🗑
The ratio of mass to volume in a substance   density  
🗑
Equation for density   D = m/V  
🗑
Si units for density   g/cm3 or g/mL  
🗑
Si units for mass   g or kg  
🗑
SI units for volume   L or mL or cm3 or m3  
🗑
The amount of matter in something   mass  
🗑
The space something takes up   volume  
🗑
Measured on a balance   mass  
🗑
Measured in a graduated cylinder   volume  
🗑
A push or pull on something   Force  
🗑
SI unit for force   Newton  
🗑
Force is measured with what?   spring scale  
🗑
What is pressure   the force acting over a certain area  
🗑
Equation for pressure   P = F/A pressure = force/area  
🗑
What is the SI unit for pressure   N/m2 or Pa (pascal)  
🗑
In a fluid, pressure _________ as depth increases   increases  
🗑
The pressure at any specific depth is __________.   constant or the same  
🗑
In any fluid what 2 things does pressure depend on   depth and density  
🗑
______ ____________ is the fluid pressure of the atmosphere stacked on top of us.   air pressure or atmospheric pressure  
🗑
As altitude increases (going up in the mountains or up in a plane), air pressure __________________.   decreases  
🗑
States that a change in pressure at any point in a fluid is transmitted equally throughout the fluid   Pascal's Principle  
🗑
What is a hydraulic system   A device that uses pressurized fluid acting on connected pistons of two different sizes to change a force  
🗑
How does a hydraulic system work   as pressure is added to a small piston it is also increased in the larger piston. But there is a bigger area and thus a bigger force at the larger piston  
🗑
State Bernoulli's principle.   as the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure decreases or speed and pressure are inversely proportional in a fluid  
🗑
As the speed of a fluid _____________, pressure increases   decreases  
🗑
What happens to windows and roofs in a tornado and why?   The blow out or up because speed is greater and pressure is less outside  
🗑
How does a wing produce lift just by its shape cutting through the air?   Air on the top side goes faster and pressure on top decreases. More pressure under the wind creates a pressure difference that causes lift  
🗑
Name the forces on an airplane   lift, drag, weight, thrust  
🗑
This is the movement of a planes nose up or down   pitch  
🗑
This is the movement of a planes nose side to side   yaw  
🗑
This is the movement of a plane where the wings go up or down as it rotates around the center axis of the plane   roll  
🗑
What control surface makes a plane pitch?   elevators on the tail  
🗑
What control surface makes a plane roll?   ailerons on the wing  
🗑
What control surface makes a plane yaw?   rudder on the tail  
🗑
This is the ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on an object placed in it   buoyancy  
🗑
Another name for floating   positive buoyancy  
🗑
Another name for sinking   negative buoyancy  
🗑
What is it called when something stays exactly submerged where you place it in a fluid   neutral buoyancy or "flinking"  
🗑
This is the upward force acting on an object in a fluid   buoyant force  
🗑
What produces buoyant force on an object   The pressure is greater at the bottom of an object than the top (Remember the golf ball in water picture!)  
🗑
Whether something floats or sinks depends on ___ and ___.   Density and Buoyancy  
🗑
State Archimedes' principle   The upward force acting on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object  
🗑
How does a submarine dive   it takes water into its ballast tanks making it heaver than the buoyant force from the weight of the water it displaces  
🗑
Why does a piece of clay sink, but in a boat shape it floats?   in the boat shape it displaces more than its weight in water  
🗑
