Pressure Which would hurt more, a 150 lb person stepping on your foot wearing a sneaker, or a 150 lb person wearing a high heeled shoe? In each case the weight (applied force) is the same, but the area is smaller, so the pressure will be greater and hurt more Why do you chop wood with an axe and not a hammer?
Pressure • Pressure - the amount of force in an area. • Pressure = force area PRESSURE AND FORCE ARE NOT THE SAME!!
Pressure Force is often measured in Newtons (N) Pressure is measured in Pascals (Pa) this is a very small amount so sometimes measured in kiloPascals (kPa)
Pressure Ex: A box with a weight of 2700 Newtons is resting on the ground. If the area of the box touching the ground is 1.5 square meters, what pressure does the box exert on the ground? 1.8 kPa
Pressure Ex: A box with a weight of 2700 Newtons is resting on the ground. The box is balancing on the edge, the area of the box touching the ground is 0.50 square meters, what pressure does the box exert on the ground? 5.4 kPa
Pressure • What keeps a balloon inflated? • Pressure • Countless “air” particles colliding with the sides of the balloon. • Name three ways to inflate the balloon further? • Increase the amount of matter in the balloon (blow more “air” into it. • Increase the amount of collisions on the inside of the balloon by increasing the temperature on the balloon. • Decrease the amount of pressure on the balloon.
Pressure in Fluids • Fluid- a substance that assumes the shape of its container • Liquids • Gases
Pressure in Fluids Water pressure INCREASES as depth INCREASES The pressure in a fluid at any given depth is constant and it is exerted equally in all directions
Pressure in Fluids Water bottle demo
Pressure in Fluids Depth and type of fluid are the only two factors that determine the pressure the fluid exerts
Air Pressure Air pressure decreases as you move farther from the surface of the earth
Air Pressure Air pressure exerts about 1000 newtons of force on top of your head
Pressure in a Fluid • Atmospheric pressure at sea level is caused by a large weight of gas, but is difficult to notice because there is an equal, internal pressure pushing out from the inside of your body.
Buoyant Force Buoyancy – the ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on an object placed in it Demo – Law of Conservation of Mass
Buoyant Force • Buoyancy results in the apparent loss of weight of an object in a fluid • When an object is placed in water, the water exerts an upward force on the object – makes it easier to lift
Buoyant Force When the buoyant force is equal to the weight, an object floats, or is suspended When the buoyant force is less than the weight of the object, the object sinks how submarines work
Archimedes Principle Archimedes principle- the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
Buoyant Force Why does a piece of steel sink but a steel ship floats? how ships float
Buoyant Force • An object that has the same density as the fluid it is submerged in will be suspended • Submarines • Fish
Buoyant Force The more dense the liquid is, the greater the weight of the displaced liquid, easier for heavier objects to float Easier to float in very salty water
Forces and Pressure Pascal’s Principle- a change in pressure at any point in a fluid is transmitted equally and unchanged in all directions throughout the fluid
Hydraulic Systems Hydraulic system uses pressurized fluid acting on pistons of different sizes to change a force
Forces and Pressure Have you ever wondered how a little energy from your foot pressing on the brake pedal in your car can bring a 1 ton car to a stop? Through leverage and Pascal’s Principle
Brake pedal transmits the brake fluid through the master cylinder which stores the brake fluid – forces fluid out to the brake’s wheels which causes the clamp action of a disc brake
Bernoulli’s Principle As the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases bernoulli demo
