Pressure and FluidsPages 66 – 84 in textbook.
A substance that has the capacity to flow and assume the form of the container into which it has been poured.
What is a fluid?
Water, milk, blood and saliva Gases are also considered fluids: air, helium
and ozone.
What are some examples of fluids?
Used to explain how fluids change shape.

Is toothpaste considered a fluid? What about sand?

Non-newtonian fluids.
1) Compressible fluids: A fluid whose volume can change. GASES.
2) Incompressible fluids: A fluid whose volume cannot be varied. LIQUIDS.
Why are they different? Because the particles behave differently under pressure.
There are two types of fluids:
The result of a FORCE applied in a PERPENDICULAR fashion to a surface.
Pressure
A force is either a PUSH or PULL that changes the movement or shape of an object.
Effect of force on pressure: Force increases = Pressure increases Force decreases = Pressure decreases
What is a force?
If surface area increases = Pressure decreases
If surface area decreases = Pressure increases
Surface area and Pressure
Pressure is equal to the force divided by the area.
Pressure is measured in Pascals (Pa) Force is measured in Newtons (N) Area is measured in square meters (m²)
How to we calculate pressure?

Pressure exerted by fluids: When the fluid is incompressible, the force
exerted comes from the mass of the fluid above the object.
Pressure and Fluids, Part 2.
Density is a measure of much matter is “packed together” in a solid/liguid/gas.
The GREATER the density, the GREATER the pressure.
SUMMARY: The pressure exerted on an object by an incompressible fluid depends on –
1. The DEPTH of the object in the fluid.2. The DENSITY of the fluid.
How density affects pressure.

The PRESSURE depends on:
1) The number of particle collisions, with each other or with the sides of the container.
Factors that affect the number of collisions:a) Number of particlesb) Temperature – higher temperature, more
collisionsc) Volume of fluid

Volume increases – Pressure decreases Volume decreases – Pressure increases

Pressure and the volume of a compressible fluid.
The atmosphere is the layer of air that surrounds the earth. This air is a mixture of gases, and it exerts pressure on everything on the surface.
We measure atmospheric pressure by using a barometer.
QUESTION: What happens to a barometer the higher one goes in the atmosphere?
