Study Notes
Fluids and Viscosity
- Grade 8 Science Unit 3 explores fluids and viscosity.
- Chapter 9 focuses on how forces affect fluid motion and properties.
Force
- A force is anything changing an object's motion.
- A force can be a push or a pull.
Balanced Forces
- Balanced forces have equal strength and opposite directions.
- Balanced forces cause no movement changes.
Unbalanced Forces
- Unbalanced forces have unequal strength.
- Unbalanced forces cause changes in speed or direction.
Mass vs. Weight
- Mass: Stays constant anywhere in the universe, measured in kilograms (kg).
-
Weight: Measures the push or pull on an object, measured in Newtons (N).
- Weight varies based on gravity.
Buoyancy
- Buoyancy is the upward force on an object submerged or floating in a fluid.
- An object floating has neutral buoyancy.
- The buoyant force equals the weight of the displaced fluid.
Density and Buoyancy
- An object sinks if its density is greater than the fluid's density.
Average Density
- Average density is the total mass of an object divided by its total volume.
Technologies Developed
- Personal flotation devices.
- Submarines.
- Hot air balloons.
Pressure
- Pressure is the force acting on a surface area.
- Pressure increases with larger forces and smaller areas.
- The unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa).
Calculating Pressure
- Pressure (P) equals Force (F) divided by Area (A).
Sample Problems
- Various sample problems and calculations related to pressure, force, and area of objects immersed or floating in fluids.
Atmospheric Pressure
- Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere.
Pascal's Law
- Pressure applied to a closed fluid is transmitted equally throughout the container.
- Pascal's Law is the basis for hydraulic and pneumatic devices.
Hydraulics
- Hydraulics is the study of pressure in liquids.
- Hydraulic systems use liquids to transmit force through liquids and move something else.
- Liquids are incompressible, so they are ideal for hydraulic systems.
Pneumatic Systems
- Pneumatic systems use gases to exert force on enclosed spaces.
- Compressors are utilized to compress gases and build up air pressure.
Pressure & Volume
- Increasing fluid pressure decreases volume proportionally (Boyle's Law).
Temperature & Volume
- Increasing fluid temperature increases volume.
Temperature & Pressure
- Increasing fluid temperature increases pressure.
Assignment
- Practice problems on pages 351-353.
