Shapes that create a laminar flow are________

25
A fluid moving relative to an object experiences what?
Resistance
26
What are wind tunnels used for?
Engineers use the to test airflow around aircraft wings.
27
What causes viscosity?
The forces of attraction among particles (cohesion)
28
When fluids are stationary is viscosity an issue?
No
29
the increased attraction among particles at the surface of a liwuid is known as what?
Surface tension
30
What are some different methods for measuring viscosity
- Timing how quickly a solid falls through a liquid - Timing how long it takes a liquid to fill a small pot - Use a viscometer
31
Does mass stay constant everywhere in the universe?
Yes
32
Does weight stay constant everywhere in the universe?
No
33
What units are used to measure grams?
Grams or units derived from grams such as milligrams or killigrams
34
What is weight measured in?
Newtons
35
How much greater is the mass on earth than the mass on the moon?
Approximately six times bigger.
36
what is volume measured in?
cubic meters, cubic centimeters, litres, or millilitres.
37
What is capacity
The measurement of the amount of space available inside something
38
There is a slight ______ at the edges where the liquid touches the container.
Curve or meniscus
39
To find the volume read the measurement at
the bottom of the meniscus or the center of the surface
40
What are the volumes of liquids measured in?
Liters or MIllilitres
41
Where does the most accurate measurement of the volume of a liquid come from?
Tall narrow cylinders or containers
42
What is the formula for the volume of regular solids?
Length x width x height
43
Solids are usually measure in cubic cm and cubic meters but are sometimes measured in.....
Liters or milliliters
44
1cm cubed = ____ ml
1
45
The volume of small irregular solids must be measured by.......
Displacement
46
To measure the volume of large irregular solids you need...
an overflow can and a graduated cylinder
47
Density is the mass of a substance per.....
Unit volume of the substance
48
What is the formula for density?
Mass divided by volume
49
Why does helium gas float on top of air?
Because helium is less dense
50
Solids have greater densities than liquids and liquids have ______ densities than gases
greater
51
What are the two exceptions?
1. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature but is more dense than many solids and over 13 times as dense as water 2. Water is denser at 4 degrees celsius than it is at 0 degrees celsius
52
what percentage of an iceberg will be submerged in seawater?
89%
53
How do you find how much of a piece of ice is submerged?
Density of ice divided by density of the water (seawater, distilled, etc.) x 100 (Then put on a percentage sign)
54
When an object is place in a fluid, the fluid is...
displaced
55
But the fluid also does what to the object
Pushes back in all directions
56
In addition to buoyancy, what force is exerted on the object?
Gravity
57
What does the Archimedes principle state?
The buoyant force on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces.
58
If the object weighs more than it displaces, then it will _____
Sink
59
Why can huge steel ships float on water?
Becuase they are hollow and the hull contains a large volume of air
60
If the upward buoyant force on an immersed object is greater that the downward force of gravity, the object will what?
Rise
61
The object will rise or sink depending on whether it weighs less or more than the fluid it ____
Displaces
62
Since the object and the displaced fluid have the same volume, the object will rise or sink depending on whether it is less or more ______ than the displaced fluid
dense
63
If an object sinks it has ______ buoyancy
negative
64
If an object has negative buoyancy, how are the forces unbalanced?
The force of gravity is greater than the force of buoyancy
65
If the object has neutral buoyancy and the forces are balanced, what happens to it?
It stays in the same place.
66
Because your body mass is much greater than an equal volume of air, what must a hot air balloon do?
Displace a much greater volume of less dense fluid (hot air)
67
What are the load lines on a ship called?
Plimsoll lines
68
What happens to viscosity when a substance is heated?
It decreases
69
What happens to density when the heat increases?
It decreases
70
What happens to volume when the heat increases?
It increases
71
What happens to buoyancy as heat increases?
It decreases
72
Is the density of water greater at 4 degrees celsius or 0 degrees celsius?
4 degrees celsius
73
Why is water less dense at 0 degrees than at 4 degrees?
So the colder water floats on top, and the aquatic life can survive
74
As the density of an object decreases with a rise in temperature, so does the buoyant force that the fluid exerts on an immersed object. Why?
The buoyant force decreases because the displaced fluid weighs less at a higher temperature. The viscosity also decreases as the the attraction between its molecules weakens.
