Day 1
2
Fluids Particles are free to move past each other Gases and liquids
3
Why do things feel lighter when they are under water?
4
Buoyant Force Upward force on submerged objects Opposite gravity
5
Lower Pressure Higher Pressure Pressure differences create F B
6
Sink or Float? Depends on the net force
7
Archimedes Principle F B = weight of fluid displaced
8
Method 1: In formula form: F B = Vg
9
Method 2: F B = Actual weight – Apparent weight
10
Method 3: For floating objects: F B = weight of object
11
Practice Problems
12
Archimedes’ Principle Lab
13
Day 2
14
To Find F B for your boat… 1. F B = Fg 1. F B = Fg 2. F B = Vg 2. F B = Vg
15
Imagine…driving in the mountains or flying in an airplane…what happens to your ears?
17
Pressure Force per unit area P = F/A Pascal (Pa) = N/m 2 Or atmosphere (atm)
18
At sea level… Air pressure is 1.01 x 10 5 Pascals 1 atmosphere
19
Pressure Problems #1
20
Pascal’s Principle Pressure is equally transmitted to all parts of the fluid and the container Think toothpaste…
21
Pascal’s Principle Hydraulic systems P 1 = P 2 Example
22
Pressure Problems #4
23
Pressure varies with… DepthDensityGravity P = gh
24
Calculating Absolute (or Total) Pressure P = P 0 + gh
25
Pressure Problem #6
26
Pressure Lab
27
Day 3
28
Magic Paper Hold a piece of notebook paper just under your lower lip and blow across it. What do you observe?
29
Bernoulli’s Principle The pressure in a fluid decreases as the fluid’s velocity increases.
30
Why? PE + KE + P = PE + KE +P (Law of Conservation of Energy)
31
