    This document defines key concepts about fluids and how they relate to flight and airplanes. It discusses five factors that affect flight: lift, thrust, wing size, wing shape, and drag. It then defines fluids as substances that can be liquid or gas and have properties like flowing from high to low pressure and expanding to fill spaces. The rest of the document focuses on air and water as examples of fluids, defining their properties and how concepts like pressure, density, and buoyancy apply to help explain flight, ships floating, and submarines.

    FLUIDS

    BELL RINGER:
    Find 5 things that affect flight
    Define them, and then tell how they affect flight
    Lift upward force
    Thrust pushing or pulling force
    Wing Size bigger wings allow for more lift
    Wing shape air foils produce more lift
    Drag friction due to the air
    Back to Particle Theory . . . The atoms or molecules in a fluid are not locked in a fixed position
    and can move.
    Therefore, a fluid can be
    Liquid or Gas
    Flows from high to low pressure
    Expands to fill newly formed spaces
    Exerts pressure evenly in all directions
    Increases in density as pressure increases
    Increases in pressure as depth increases

    Air as a Fluid
    What is air?
    A mixture of nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and small amounts of other gases
    like He, H2, and CO
    What is in between the gas particles?
    NOTHING!
    Does air have mass?
    Do the molecules of these substances have mass?
    YES!
    Prove it!
    In your notes, describe this demonstration
    Air Flows from high to low pressure
    Inside a balloon is high pressure, feel it flow out
    Air Expands to fill newly formed spaces
    Inhaling makes your chest cavity larger and air flows in
    Air Exerts pressure evenly in all directions
    When blowing bubbles, they are spherical, not long
    Pascals principle: a fluid in a contained vessel exerts pressure of equal intensity in all
    directions.
    (Explains how the brakes in a car work)
    Air Increases in density as pressure increases
    80% of all atmospheric gases are within 10km of the ground
    Air Increases in pressure as depth increases
    The atmospheric pressure decreases as you go up
    < see how the air in the atmosphere changes> nasa.gov
    Unit 7: Air as a FLUID*
    Calculate Air Pressure by dividing the force exerted by the area it covers
    Right now you have about 2 lbs of pressure pushing down on every 2 cm of your body!
    P=Force
    area

    Air as a FLUID: Application*


    Why Airplanes fly
    Bernoullis Principle: as a fluids velocity increases, its pressure decreases
    > thats why the shower curtain sucks in
    > Ball is pulled into flowing water
    > 2 pieces of paper go together when you blow
    Air Foil: The shape of a wing that causes the air to go faster across the top causing lift
    Unit 7: Water as a FLUID*
    What is water?
    Molecules of H2O that are attracted to each other in a way that allows them to flow.
    What is the shape of water?
    It takes the shape of its container
    BUT! It has a definite volume
    What is the density of water?
    1.0 g/cm3
    Density = mass
    Volume

    Unit 7: Water as a FLUID*


    Water Flows from high to low pressure
    From a garden hose into a bucket.
    Water balloon with a hole in it.
    Water pressure increases as depth increases
    Fish in the deep ocean experience higher pressures than fish in shallow water.
    Water Exerts pressure evenly in all directions
    Pascals principle: a fluid in a contained vessel exerts pressure of equal
    intensity in all directions.
    Explains how the brakes in a car work
    Buoyant Force:
    The upward force that keeps an object floating (applies to air as well)
    Archimedes Principle:
    The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water that is displaced by the floating
    object.
    Ex. If a floating log displaces 10 Newtons of water, than the buoyant force is 10 Newtons.
    Ex. If the log displaces 10 Newtons of water, but the log itself weighs more than 10 Newtons, it
    will sink.
    Unit 7: Water as a FLUID Application*
    Why Ships Float
    The density of steel is more than water, so a block of steel will sink, But!
    Ships float because . . .
    Their shape decreases their overall density
    The buoyant force on the ship is equal to the ships weight
    They displace more water than they weigh
    Submarines work by . . .
    Adding water to increase their density to sink
    Adding air to decrease their density to rise
    Archimedes (287 BC) - ancient Greek Mathematician and physicist
    Proposed the concept of buoyancy in his Archimedes Principle
    Buoyancy (floating) is - the upward force that is contrary to gravity
