Study Notes
Matter and Fluids
- Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
- Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.
- Particle theory explains how matter behaves due to its particle makeup.
- Fluids have no fixed form and can flow (liquids and gases).
- Volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid passing per unit time (Debit = volume of fluid/time).
- Pascal's law states that pressure exerted on a fluid is distributed evenly.
- Density is the ratio of mass to volume (Density = mass/volume).
Forces and Motion
- Displacement is when one thing takes the place of another.
- Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float or rise in a fluid, this can be a liquid or a gas.
- Archimedes' principle states that the buoyancy force equals the weight of the fluid displaced. If an object displaces more weight than its own, it will float.
- Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object (Weight = mass * gravity).
- Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow.
- Friction is the resistance when two surfaces rub against each other.
- Cohesion is the attraction between particles in a fluid.
- Adhesion is the attraction between fluid particles and another substance.
- Temperature increases viscosity in gases.
- Concentration and particle size affect viscosity in fluids.
Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems
- Hydraulic systems use pressurized liquid for mechanical movement. They are typically stronger.
- Pneumatic systems use air (gases) for movement. They are typically weaker.
