the ability to do work
what is energy?
force that drives a plane forward through the air
what is thrust?
ability to do work
what is energy?
a particle of matter in the universe that will attract another particle with a force known as gravity
what is the law of universal gravitation?
important applications of pascal's principle
what is hydraulic press?
the pushing or puling action of one object upon another
what is forces?
when an object tilts to one side
what is a roll?
the energy of motion
what is kinetic energy?
pressure applied to any surface of a confined fluid is transmitted equally in every direction throughout the fluid
what is "pascal's principle"?
when pressure upon gas is lowered, the volume of the gas increases
what is boyle's law?
where the air pressure is greatest on a plane
what is under the plane's wing?
angle up or down

stored up energy
what is potential energy?
important applications of pascal's principle
what is hydraulic press?
Also known as the father of modern chemistry
who is robert boyle?
shaping objects so they allow the easy flow of fluids around them to reduce drag
what is streamlining?
angled left or right
what is a yaw?
matter that can be neither created or destroyed
what is law of conservation of matter?
the resistance caused by moving one object against another
what is friction?
if pressure of gas is constant its volume and temperature are directly related
what is charle's law?
