altimeter a device use to measure altitude
adhesion attraction to molecules of a different substance
capillarity the phenomenon in which liquids in thin tubes rise above or fall beneath their own levels
plasticity the maximum amount of permanent deformation to which a material may be subjected without breaking
elasticity the ability of a solid to recover its shape after being deformed
bending a combination of stretching and compression
kinetic theory of matter used to explain the existence of different states of matter and the behavior of them
atomic theory of matter the basis for the scientific understanding of all matter
crystalline solids those whose molecules or atoms are arranged in a well-ordered pattern
diffusion the process of mixing molecules of one substance with another substance by random molecular motion
brownian motion the result of collisions between the microscopic solid particles and molecules of a fluid
semipermeable solid allow some substances to diffuse through them but not other substances
pascal's principle if pressure is applied to a fluid inside a closed container the pressure increased will be distributed equally throughout the container
buoyancy the tendency for a solid placed in the water to float
hydrofoil an airfoil-like structure designed for use in water instead of air
rigidity how strongly a material opposes deformation
torsion a shear in a circle or twisting
osmosis diffusion through a semipermeable membrane
liquid tends to adhere more strongly to other matter than solids do
compressibility the ability to be easily squeezed and compacted into smaller containers
siphon a simple device used to move liquids over obstacles without pumps
amorphous solids they do not have specific melting points but instead soften over a range of temperatures
mohs scale used frequently by mineralogists for identification of minerals ranks minerals in order of their ability to be scratched
submarine a vessel that can float on top of the water or maneuver beneath the surface by changing its buoyancy
atoms extremely small particles that make up matter
streamlining the science of shaping objects to allow the smooth flow of fluids around them and reduce drag
meniscus a curved surface where water meets the glass
neutral buoyancy when a submarine is completely underwater but not sinking
torricelli he proposed that air has weight and is often credited as the discoverer of air pressure
amonton's law temperature and pressure are directly related when volume is held constant
atchimede's principle the buoyant force experienced by an object is exactly equal to the weight of the fluid displaced
bernoulli's principle depends only on the relative motion between the fluid and an object
boyle's law change in volume changes the frequency of collisions
hooke's law the amount of force needed to produce a particular amount of deformation
pascal's principal if pressure is applied to a fluid inside a closed container the pressure increased will be distributed equally throughout the container
aileron located at the end of the Wings till the plane from side to side to adjust roll
airfoil a structure that changes the flow of air to produce a force
drag the force that tends to slow an object moving through a fluid
elevator controls in airplane's pitch
flap increases wing area to produce more lift
lift it is an upward force. the lift must be greater than the weight of the plane
pitch force that propels a plane foward
roll adjusted when a plane moves side to side
thrust a force that propels a plane foward through the air allowing wings to produce lift
weight a downward force of gravity on a plane
yaw angle left or right
essay Bernoulli's principle requires the faster are on top to exert less pressure upon the wing than the slower are below. the resulting difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wing pushes the wing up toward the lower pressure. this upward force is lift. lift wouldn't be possible unless the plane moves first. the force that causes a plane to move forward allowing wings to produce lift is thrust. therefore without thrust there would be no lift for Bernoulli's principle to apply to.
