Fluid | Any material that takes the shape of its container (Liquids and Gases) |
Pressure | Force / Area |
Buoyant force | The upward force that all fluids exert on matter |
Buoyancy | The ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it |
Archimedes’ principle | The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object |
Pascal’s principle | The pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted equally and unchanged throughout the fluid |
Hydraulics | The science of applying Pascal’s principle |
Bernoulli’s Principle | As the speed of a moving fluid increases, its pressure decreases |
Boyle’s Law | If you decrease the volume of a container of gas and hold the temperature constant, the pressure will increase, or vice versa |
Charles’s Law | The volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature, as long as the pressure on the gas does not change |
Viscosity | Resistance to flowing |
