Science Ch.3
What is a fluid?
A fluid is a substance that can flow, spread and take the shape of a container
What is a compressible fluid?
A compressible fluid is a fluid whose volume can change resulting is a change of pressure.
Name me a compressible fluid.
Gasses
What is an incompressible fluid?
A fluid with a fixed volume.
Name me incompressible fluids
Liquids and Solids
According to the particle model why are gasses compressible while liquids and solids arent?
Gas particles have no force of attraction between them so they take the available space. Liquid and solid particles have too much attraction between them so they won't change volume.
What is pressure?
Pressure is force being applied in perpendicular motion
What is the formula's for pressure?
P=F/A A=F/P F=AxP
