Study Notes

Fluids

Fluids are substances that can flow, including liquids and gases.
Temperature is a measure of molecular agitation, influencing the state of matter and particle behavior.
Viscosity is the internal friction of a fluid, determining its thickness and flow rate.

Volume, Pressure, and Density

Volume is the space an object or substance occupies.
Pressure is force per unit area, caused by collisions between gas particles and the container walls.
Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, determining whether it floats or sinks in a fluid.

Buoyancy and Weight

Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid, allowing objects to float.
The buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Weight is the downward force exerted by gravity.
Objects float when their buoyant force balances their weight.

Temperature, Pressure, and Volume Relationship

At constant temperature, gas volume and pressure are inversely proportional – increasing volume decreases pressure.
Combining temperature, pressure, and volume, the relationship is expressed as: P1 ⋅ V1 / T1 = P2 ⋅ V2 / T2.

Thermal Expansion and Contraction

Heating a gas in a sealed container increases particle speed and collision frequency, leading to pressure increase.
Cooling a gas in a sealed container causes the opposite effect – decreasing pressure.

Exercises

Exercise 1: Heating a sealed bottle of soda increases gas pressure, causing expansion and potential bursting.
Exercise 2: Objects float when their density is less than the fluid's density, and sink when denser.
Exercise 3: Increasing volume of a gas decreases pressure at constant temperature – pressure is inversely proportional to volume.
Exercise 4: Low temperature at high altitudes reduces gas pressure due to slower particle movements and fewer collisions.
Exercise 5: Buoyancy pushes the inflatable ball upward, while weight pulls it down. The ball floats due to its lower density.
Exercise 6: Density is calculated as mass divided by volume. An object with density greater than water sinks.
Exercise 7: Using P1 ⋅ V1 = P2 ⋅ V2, the new pressure inside the balloon is 100.
Exercise 8: Using P1 / T1 = P2 / T2, the new pressure inside the container is 600.
Exercise 9: Using P1 ⋅ V1 / T1 = P2 ⋅ V2 / T2, the new pressure inside the container is 1800.
Exercise 10: The buoyant force on a fully submerged stone is calculated using B = ρ ⋅ g ⋅ VD, giving a value of 20.
Exercise 11: The minimum box height needed to keep the boat afloat is 25, calculated by equating buoyant force to weight.
Exercise 12: The minimum force required to push the ball underwater is 120, calculated by subtracting the ball's weight from the buoyant force when fully submerged.
