negatively buoyant
43
A hydraulic pump works using what scientific principle?
Charles's law
44
Describe Pascal's principle.
changes of pressure on the surface of a confined fluid are exerted equally throughout the fluid and at all the points on the fluid's container.
45
Describe Bernoulli's principle.
total energy for a confined ideal fluid flowing through a pipe is conserved at all locations with in a pipe.
46
Describe Boyle's law.
the volume of a fixed quantity of a confined gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when its temperature is held constant.
47
Describe Charles's law.
the volume of a fixed quantity of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature when its pressure is held constant.
