Forces In Fluids

AB
Bernoulli's Principle says that as the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure in a fluid __________.Decreases
The upward force on a wing that results from differences in pressure above and below the wing is called _______.Lift
To design a successful airplane wing, the _______ brothers needed to apply Bernoulli's Principle.Wright
Using Bernoulli's Principle, explain how a perfume atomizer works.Moving air from bulb above tube lowers pressure. Difference in pressure between top and bottom of tube draws perfume upward.
Use Bernoulli's Principle to explain why the fabric of a domed tent bulges outward on a windy day.Air outside tent is moving faster than air inside tent so has less pressure according to Bernoulli's Principle. The greater pressure inside the tent causes the fabric to bulge outward.
The density of water ______ when it freezes into ice.Lowers
Whose principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?Archimedes
If you know the weight of an object that floats, you know the _______ force.Buoyant
What is the force that acts in an upward direction, against the force of gravity, so it makes an object feel lighter in a liquid?Buoyancy
A boat that weights 28,800 N is loaded with 7,200 N cargo. After it is loaded, what is the buoyant force acting on the boat?36,000 N
A substance that can easily flow is called a ____________.Fluid
An instrument that measures pressure is called a ________.Barometer
The downward pressure of the atmosphere on your hand is balanced by the ________.Upward pressure of the atmosphere on your hand.
Snowshoes allow you to walk on the snow without sinking because they _________.Distribute the force of your weight over a larger area.
Why dosesn't air pressure crush human beings standing at sea level?Pressure from the fluids inside our bodies balances the air pressure outside.
If you divide the force exerted on a surface by the total area of the surface, you will know ________.Pressure
If you divide the mass of an object by its volume, you know the object's ___________.Density
What is the unit of pressure equal to N/m2?Pascal
What is the unit of density when the area is measured in cubic centimeters and the mass is measured in grams?Grams per cubic centimeter
A dollar bill measures about 15.9 cm x 6.7 cm. The Chinese yuan note measures 14.5 cm x 7.0 cm. Which currency uses a larger bill.The dollar bill - the area is 110 cm2 and the yuan note has an area of 100 cm2
How does atmospheric pressure change as you move away from the surface of the Earth?Decreases
Pressure decreases as the area over which a force is distributed.Increases
By comparing ______, you can predict whether an object will float or sink in a fluid.Density
A helium balloon rises because helium is _________ than air.Less dense
An object that weights 340 N floats on a lake. What is the weight of the displaced water?340 N
