1
New cards
What is the pressure of a fluid?
The force exerted at normal to any surfaces it makes contact with
2
New cards
What is the equation for pressure?
p = F/A
3
New cards
What happens as the depth of a liquid increases?
The pressure increases
4
New cards
What does pressure increase as depth of a liquid increases?
There are more particles above that point
5
New cards
What is the equation for pressure at a depth in a liquid?
p = hρg
6
New cards
What is atmospheric pressure?
Pressure created by air molecules colliding with the earths surface
7
New cards
What happens as the altitude rises and why?
Atmospheric pressure decreases as there are fewer molecules above that point and the atmosphere is less dense
8
New cards
What is upthrust?
The force a fluid exerts on an object upwards
9
New cards
When wil an object float?
When it’s less dense than the fluid so the upthrust is equal to the weight
10
New cards
Wen will an object sink?
When its more dense as the weight is more than the equivalent volume of fluid displaced so upthrust is less
