Fluid Laws
This theory is a scientific model that explains the structure and behaviour of matter.
What is the Particle Theory?
Anything that has mass (weight) and takes up space.
What is matter?
This is calculated by multiplying length times width times height. l xx w xxh
What is volume?
This is measured at 1 g/ml or 1 g/cm³
What is water's density?
The upward force that a fluid exerts on an object.
What is buoyancy?
A material that has no fixed shape and is free to flow, such as a liquid or gas.
What is a fluid?
This is calculated by dividing mass by volume. m/v
What is density?
A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.
What is viscosity?
This law states that if pressure is exerted on a fluid, it will be evenly distributed throughout the fluid.
What is Pascal’s law?
Occurs when something takes the place of something else.
What is displacement?
This is the density of a moving box that is 2100g and 670cm3.
What is 3.13 g/cm³?
The human body system most similar to a hydraulic system.
What is the circulatory system?
This principle states the upward force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
What is Archimedes’ principle?
Liquid that is under pressure or in a confined space.
What is hydraulic?
An object in water that is 670g and 395cm3 will have this level of buoyancy.
What is negative buoyancy?
The human body system most similar to a pneumatic system.
What is the respiratory system?
Cruise ships float by applying this rule. The ship’s hull is designed to be hollow and filled with air, making it less dense than water, allowing it to displace its own weight in water before sinking.
What is Archimedes' Principle?
Compressed air or gas under pressure.
What is pneumatic?
An object in water that is 140g and 215cm3 will have this level of buoyancy.
What is positive buoyancy?
This is a measure of how much matter is in an object, whereas that is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that matter.
What is mass and weight.
Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object, whereas weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that matter.
