1. What is pressure
A. Force pushing on a surface
B. Formula
1. Pressure
= force divided by area
2. Pressure
= Force
Area
C. Units -
1. Pascal
(Pa)
2. 1
N/m2 = 1 Pa
2. Area
A. Area is the measure of a
surface.
B. Jello demonstration
3. Fluid Pressure
A. All of teh forces exerted
by the individual molecules in a fluid add together to make up the pressure
exerted by the fluid
B. Molecules are constantly
moving in a fluid
4. Air
A. Air exerts pressure because
it has mass
B. Air pressure at sea level
is 10.13 N/cm2
C. Balanced pressure-
1. air
pushing down equals air pushing up
2. fig.
4, pg. 73
5. Variations in fluid pressure
A. Air pressue decreases as
elevation increases
B. Water pressue increases as
depth increases

1. Buoyancy
A. Fluid exerts pressure on
all surfaces of a submerged object.
B. An object feels lighter in
water than air
C. A submerged object displaces
ar takes the place of a volume of fluid equal to its own volume.
D. fig. 14, pg. 83
explain
2. Density
A. formula
density =
mass/volume
B. higher the number the denser
the object and it will sink
C. lower the number the lighter
the object and it will float

buoyancy and Archimedes' principle wksht.
1. Bernoulli discovered-
A. The faster a fluid moves,
the less pressure the fluid exerts
B. Blow on a piece of tissue
(paragraph in the book)
2. Bernoulli's principle explains flight-
A. Objects can be designed so
their shapes cause air to move at different speeds above and below them
B. pg. 91 - Exploring
3. Bernoulli's principle at home-
A. Smoke from the fire in the
fireplace rises because it is pushed
B. fig. 19, pg. 90
C. Attack of the shower curtain
