A fluid can either be a
liquid
or a
gas
What is pressure caused by?
Particles
colliding with a
surface
As particles move around a fluid, what do they do?
They
collide
with the surface of
objects
in the fluid or the surface of the
container
When collisions occur in a fluid, what do they create?
They create a
force
normal
(at right angles) to the
surface
What is the equation for pressure?
pressure =
force
(normal to a surface) /
area
(of that surface)
If a pressure acts on a bigger area , it will produce a
bigger
force
Pressure is measured in
pascals
(Pa)
Force is measured in
newtons
(N)
Area is measure in
metres
squared
(m²)
