100

The state of matter in which molecules can move freely and conform to the shape of the container but remain attracted to each other

liquid state

100

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Charles's law

100

This device measures altitude

altimeter

100

According to this person, an object immersed in water appears to lose its weight

Archimedes

100

The fluid friction that tends to slow an object as it moves through a fluid

drag

200

The attractive force between unlike molecules

adhesion

200

This law states that temperature and pressure are directly related when volume is held constant

Amontons's law

200

The device that uses an airtight metal box with thin, flexible walls to measure pressure 

aneroid barometer

200

An upward force exerted by a fluid on a solid object placed in the fluid

buoyancy

200

The science of shaping objects to allow the smooth flow of fluids around them and reduce drag

streamlining

300

The phenomenon in which a liquid in thin tubes rises above or falls beneath its own level

capillarity

300

The ability of a gas to be easily squeezed and compacted into smaller containers

compressibility

300

P1V1 = P2V2

Boyle's law

300

This principle states that the buoyant force experienced by an object is exactly equal to the weight of the fluid displaced

Archimedes' principle

300

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

lift

400

SI unit of pressure

pascal

400

This law states that if the pressure of a gas is constant, its volume and temperature are directly proportional

Charles's law

400

Finput/Ainput = Foutput/Aoutput

Pascal's principle

400

The condition at which a submarine is completely underwater but not sinking

neutral buoyancy

400

The phenomenon of a spinning cylinder or ball causing lift

Magnus

500

The force exerted per unit of area

pressure

500

P1/T1 = P2T2

Amontons's law

500

This happens to atmospheric pressure as altitude increases

decreases

500

This technique uses Archimedes' principle to determine the specific gravity of a solid denser than water

hydrostatic weighing

500

The angle of the foil relative to fluid flow

angle of attack
