Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is the pressure on an object equal to? | force per unit area (force divided by area) |
Which scientist is responsible for the principle that an increase in velocity of fluid will result in the decrease in pressure? | Bernoulli |
What is the pressure if the force is 100N on an area of 4m2? | 25 n/m2 |
What happens to air pressure when you drive down from a high mountain? | increases |
If you are walking on snow with snowshoes, what happens to the pressure on the snow? | is less |
When the speed of a fluid increases, pressure? | decreases |
when you go deep into a pool the pressure on your ears? | increases |
What would cause an increase in gas pressure in a sealed, flexible container? | decrease in volume |
The direction of fluid pressure is | perpendicular to the surface of an object |
What is the SI unit for pressure? | Pascal |
What is pressure all around us called? | Fluid pressure also called atmospheric pressure |
Pressure is equal to | force divided by area |
What measures atmospheric pressure | barometer |
pressure will increase if | the force increases or the area decreases |
What happens to atmospheric pressure as elevation increases? | decreases |
Pascal's princlple states that | the force (speed) on a fluid increases, pressure increases |
What does wind do to the smoke coming out of the chimney? | increases it. |
Air at sea level is | is 100,000 N |
Equation used to find pressure | p= f/a |
barometer | instrument used to measure air pressure |
fluid pressure | pressure in liquids and gases |
buoyant force | upward force that is exerted by a fluid |
When air is compressed, density | remians the same |
a fluid is | any substance with no definite shape and can flow |
Atmopsheric pressure is | 100,000 PA |
Lift | needed to make an airplane fly |
density | mass divided by volume |
Fluid pressure | pressure in gases and liquids |
How much pressure is there when 300 n of force is applied over an area of 60 m2 | 5 n/m2 |
What is the pressure if the force is 90n and the area is 15 m2 | 6 n/m2 |
force = 250n , area = 75m2 what is the pressure | 3.33 n/m2 |
what is the force if the pressure is 16n/m2 and the area is 10 m2 | 160 n |
True or False: Air is more compressed at sea level than high altitudes. | True? |
Which principle states as the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure decreases | Bernoulli's principle |
Pascal's principle | a force applied to a fluid in a closed container, pressure thoughout the fluid increases the same amount |
pressure | the amount for force acting on a surface p=f/a |
