chapter 3 Flashcards
fluid
a nonsolid state of matter in wich the atoms or molecules are free to move past eachother
pressure
the amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface
pascal
the SI unit of pressure
atmospheric pressure
the pressure caused by the weght of atmosphere
buyoant force
the upward force that keeps an object immersed in or floating on a fluid
Archimedes principle
the princibelr that states that the byoant force on an boject in a fluid in an upward force equaly
bernouills pricciple
the principle that states that the pressure in a fluid decreases as the fluids velosity increases
lift
an upward force on an object that moves in a fluid
thrust
the pushing or pulling force exerted by the engine of an aircraft or rocket
drag
a force parellel to the velosity of the flow
pascals princaple
the principle that states that the fluid in equilibrium containd in a vessel exertes a pressure of equality intensity in all directions
