Archimedes, Bernoulli's & Pascal Principle

Front

What does Bernoulli's Principle state?

Back

The faster a fluid moves, the less pressure the fluid exerts.

Front

What is Archimedes' Principle?

Back

The buoyant force acting on an object equals the weight (force of gravity) of the fluid displaced by the object.

Front

What happens when the weight of an object is greater than the buoyant force?

Back

The object will sink.

Front

What occurs to particles of matter as they are heated?

Back

The particles move more quickly.

Front

What types of substances can be classified as fluids?

Back

Liquids or gases.

Front

Define Pascal's Principle.

Back

A change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container.

Front

What is the formula for calculating buoyant force?

Back

Buoyant Force = Weight of the fluid displaced.

Front

How does temperature affect the density of a fluid?

Back

As temperature increases, the density of a fluid generally decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and depth in a fluid?

Back

Pressure increases with depth in a fluid due to the weight of the fluid above.

Front

What is the significance of the continuity equation in fluid dynamics?

Back

It states that the mass flow rate must remain constant from one cross-section of a pipe to another.
