Motion, forces, and energy ch 3 key terms

AB
pressureforce that particles of a fluid exert over a certain area due to their weight and motion
hydraulic devicea machine that takes advantage of the fact that pressure is transmitted equally in all directions in a liquid
buoyant forceupward force in a fluid that exists because the pressure of a fluid varies with depth
buoyancythe phenomenon caused by the upward force of fluid pressure-the ability to float
Archimedes'principleexplanation that says that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the objects
densitymass of a substance divided by its volume
Bernoulli's principleexplanation that the pressure in a moving stream of fluid is less than the pressure in the surrounding fluid
Pressure =force divided by area
Fluids move from...areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
An object floats when it displaces...a volume of a fluid whose weight is greater than or equal to its own weight.
An object floats when its density...is less than the density of the surrounding fluid.
