Important vocabulary words to study on forces in fluids, machines, and energy

AB
Archimede's principlethe buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
Bernoulli's principlepressure in a moving stream of fluid is less than the pressure in the surrounding fluid
buoyant forceupward force in a fluid that exists because the pressure of a fluid vaies with depth
chemical energyenergy that bonds atoms or ions together
energythe ability to do work
electromagnetic energyenergy associated with moving charges
fulcrumfixed point of a lever
heat energyenergy involved with the internal motion of particles of matter
hydraulic devicemachine that multiplies force by applying a small amount of force
inclined planestraight slanted surface that multiplies force
jouleunit of work and energy; one newton meter
kinetic energyenergy of motion
potential energyenergy of shape or position; stored energy
leverrigid bar free to move about a single point
machinedevice that makes work easier by changing the distance an object must travel or the direction of the force applied to the object
mechanical energyenergy associated with motion
nuclear energyenergy found in the nucleus of an atom
pressureforce that particles of a fluid exert over a certain area due to their weight and motion
pulleyrope, belt, or chain wrapped around a wheel
screwinclined plane wrapped around a central bar to form a spiral
wattunit of power
wedgeinclined plane that moves
wheel and axlemachine made up of two circular objects of different sizes; a force is applied to the wheel and transferred to the axle
