the force that opposes or restricts motion in a fluid; drag opposes thrust
an upward force on an object that opposes the downward pull of gravity; differences in pressure above and below the object contribute to lift
the SI unit of pressure; equal to the force of 1N exerted over an area of one square meter
the amount of force exerted on a given area, expressed in pascals
4 True/False Question
atmospheric pressure → the pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere
pascals principle → the principle states that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of a fluid that the object displaces
fluid → any material that can flow and that takes the shape of its container
thrust → an upward force on an object that opposes the downward pull of gravity; differences in pressure above and below the object contribute to lift
