Term
Density (ρ)
Definition
ρ = m/v
Term
Pressure (3)
Definition

= force/unit area

=ρ(density)gh (depth)

 Pressure is the same in every direction in a fluid at at given depth; if it were not, the fluid would flow. 


 

Term
guage pressure
Definition

pressure above atmospheric pressure

P = PA + PG

Term
Equation of Continuity
Definition

ρ1 A1v1=ρ2 A2v2

Term
Bernoulli's Equation (2)
Definition

P + 1/2ρv2+ρgy = constant

a fluid will flow from high to low pressure causing lift, curve or suction 

Term
Surface Tension (2)
Definition
Makes water behave elastically (concave/convex); soap lowers ST and allows water to penetrate materials more easily.
Term
Pendulum period & frequency
Definition

T = 2Π√(L/g)

f = 1/2Π √(g/L)

Term
Resonance
Definition
When the frequency from forced vibrations is the same as the natural frequency, the amplitute becomes very large.
