density units
kg/m^3
density equation
m/v
are fluids described in intensive properties or extensive
intensive
what does changing the amount of a substance do to the density
does not change the density
specific gravity
is the density of that substance compared to the density of water. density of substance/density of water
how is specific gravity compared to water
if it is less than 1 it is less dense than water
if it is equal to 1 then it is equally as heavy as water
if it is greater than one it indicates a substance heavier than water
density of water
1000kg/m^3
1g/cm^3
impulse equation
the force of the collisions multiplied by the duration of collision (Fchange in time)
average magnitude of force created by the collisions
force of the collisions multiplied by the duration of the collisions/ time over which the collisions occur
pressure equation
P=F/A
S.I. unit of pressure
Pascal (Pa)
gauge pressure
is the pressure compared to the atmospheric pressure
Fluids at rest pressure
P=rhogy (y is the depth of the fluid) g is the gravitational constant
any fluid pressure open to the atmosphere can be found by
P=rhogy+Patm
Pressure atmosphere equals
101,000 Pa
Pascal’s principle
states that pressure applied anywhere to an enclosed incompressible fluid will be distributed undiminished throughout the fluid
as you go higher in the atmosphere there is less
air pressure up there and fewer molecules above you which means less weight and lower pressure
pressure measured relative to a vacuum is called
absolute pressure
Pabsolute=
Pgauge+ Patm (requires a closed container)
difference between gases and liquids as fluids
gases are compressible while liquids are incompressible
a standing fluid exerts a forces called what on any object floating submerged or sunk in the fluid
buoyant force
magnitude of the buoyant force experienced by an object whether floating, submerged, or sunk is
directly proportional to the volume of the fluid displaced
Fb=rhofluidVfluidg
archimedes principle
shows that the upward buoyant force is equal in magnitude to the weight of the displaced fluid
a sunk object displaces a volume of fluid equal
to its own volume
