Fluid Mechanics
This principle states that the buoyant force experienced by an object is exactly equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
What is Archimedes' Principle?
This is the average speed of a person who walks 28km in 7 hours.
What is 4 km/h?
(V1)/(T1)=(V2)/(T2)
What is Charles' Law?
The scalar quantity of the distance traveled by an object per unit of time.
What is speed?
this is the tendancy for fluid friction to slow down an object as it moves through a fluid.
What is drag?
This is the device you would use to measure altitude.
What is a altimeter?
(Fi)/(Ai)=(Fo)/(Ao)
What is Pascal's Principle?
This term is what cause an object to travel in a curved path rather than a straight line.
What is centripetal force?
This is the force exerted per unit of area.
What is pressure?
This is the ratio of input distance to output distance.
What is Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA)?
P1V1=P2V2
What is Boyle's Law?
Phenomenon of a spinning cylinder or ball causing lift.
What is the Magnus effect?
An upward force exerted by a fluid on a solid object placed in the fluid.
What is buoyancy?
The SI unit for work.
What is a joule?
(P1)/(T1)=(P2)/(T2)
What is Amonton's Law?
This man discovered the laws of motion and gravitation.
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
This is the attractive force between molecules.
What is adhesion?
The SI unit for power.
What is a watt?
v=d/t
What is measures how quickly an object moves?
This type of force causes an object to travel in a curved rather rather than a straight line.
What is centripetal force?
This is the rate of doing work.
What is momentum?
The SI unit for length.
What is the meter?
F=ma
What is Newton's second law of motion?
This is the force on an object that is generated by relative motion between the object and a fluid and is perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow.
What is lift?
The ability for a submarine to be completely underwater but not sinking is because of this type of buoyancy.
What is neutral buoyancy?
The SI unit for pressure.
What is the pascal (Pa)?
n=(Wo)/(Wi)
What is the efficiency of a machine?
A falling velocity at which the force of air resistance equals the objects weight and stops the object from accelerating.
What is terminal velocity?
The science of shaping objects to allow the smooth flow of fluids around them and reduce drag.
What is streamlining?
This system of measurement was designed by French scientists to be simpler to learn and use that the F.P.S. system.
What is the metric system (SI)?
p=m/V
What is the density of an object?
This law states that the force required to accelerate an object at a certain rate equals the object's mass times its desired acceleration.
What is Newton's Second law of motion?
