Liquids and gases have the ability to Liquids and gases have the ability to flowflow

Regardless of form (solid, liquid, Regardless of form (solid, liquid, gas) we can define how much mass gas) we can define how much mass is squeezed into a particular spaceis squeezed into a particular space

Which shoes create the most pressure?
Pressure in a FluidPressure in a Fluid
The pressure is just the weight of all The pressure is just the weight of all the fluid above youthe fluid above you
Atmospheric pressure is just the Atmospheric pressure is just the weight of all the air above on area weight of all the air above on area on the surface of the earthon the surface of the earth
In a swimming pool the pressure on In a swimming pool the pressure on your body surface is just the weight your body surface is just the weight of the water above you (plus the air of the water above you (plus the air pressure above the water)pressure above the water)
Pressure in a FluidPressure in a Fluid
So, the only thing that counts in So, the only thing that counts in fluid pressure is the gravitational fluid pressure is the gravitational force acting on the mass ABOVE force acting on the mass ABOVE youyou
The deeper you go, the more The deeper you go, the more weight above you and the more weight above you and the more pressurepressure
Go to a mountaintop and the air Go to a mountaintop and the air pressure is lowerpressure is lower
Pressure in a FluidPressure in a Fluid
Pressure acts perpendicular to the surface and increases at greater depth.

BuoyancyBuoyancy
Net upward force is called the buoyant force!!!
Easier to lift a rock in water!!
Displacement of WaterDisplacement of Water
The amount of water displaced is equal to the volume of the rock.
Archimedes’ PrincipleArchimedes’ Principle
An immersed body is buoyed An immersed body is buoyed up by a force equal to the up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.weight of the fluid it displaces.
If the buoyant force on an object is If the buoyant force on an object is greater than the force of gravity greater than the force of gravity acting on the object, the object will acting on the object, the object will floatfloat
The apparent weight of an object in a The apparent weight of an object in a liquid is gravitational force (weight) liquid is gravitational force (weight) minus the buoyant forceminus the buoyant force

FlotationFlotation
A floating object displaces a A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight of fluid equal to its own weight.weight.

GasesGases
The primary difference between a liquid The primary difference between a liquid and a gas is the distance between the and a gas is the distance between the moleculesmolecules
In a gas, the molecules are so widely In a gas, the molecules are so widely separated, that there is little interaction separated, that there is little interaction between the individual moleculesbetween the individual molecules
IDEAL GASIDEAL GAS Independent of what the molecules areIndependent of what the molecules are

Boyle’s LawBoyle’s Law
Pressure depends on density of the Pressure depends on density of the gasgas
Pressure is just the force per unit Pressure is just the force per unit area exerted by the molecules as area exerted by the molecules as they collide with the walls of the they collide with the walls of the containercontainer
Double the density, double the Double the density, double the number of collisions with the wall number of collisions with the wall and this doubles the pressureand this doubles the pressure
Boyle’s LawBoyle’s Law
Density is mass divided by volume.
Halve the volume and you double the density and thus the pressure.
Boyle’s LawBoyle’s Law
At a given temperature for a given At a given temperature for a given quantity of gas, the product of the quantity of gas, the product of the pressure and the volume is a pressure and the volume is a constantconstant

decreases with altitude since air is decreases with altitude since air is compressible and liquids are only compressible and liquids are only very slightly compressiblevery slightly compressible

Effect on Boiling PointEffect on Boiling Point
When atmospheric pressure When atmospheric pressure increases, the boiling point of a increases, the boiling point of a liquid increases.liquid increases.
When atmospheric pressure When atmospheric pressure decreases, the boiling point of a decreases, the boiling point of a liquid decreases.liquid decreases.

Buoyancy in a GasBuoyancy in a Gas
An object surrounded by air is An object surrounded by air is buoyed up by a force equal to buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the air displacedthe weight of the air displaced..
Exactly the same concept as buoyancy Exactly the same concept as buoyancy in water. Just substitute air for water in water. Just substitute air for water in the statementin the statement
If the buoyant force is greater than the If the buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object, it will rise in the weight of the object, it will rise in the airair
Buoyancy in a GasBuoyancy in a Gas
Since air gets less dense with altitude, the buoyant force decreases with altitude. So helium balloons don’t rise forever!!!

When the speed of a fluid When the speed of a fluid increases, internal pressure in increases, internal pressure in the fluid decreases.the fluid decreases.
