Vectors Total energy Archimedes principle: “when a body is immersed in fluid, At constant pressure for all ideal gasses:
the fluid exerts an upwards force in the body equal to the
weight of the fluid that is displaced from the body” V = a x T, (a is a constant & T is in kelvin)

Waves -frequency, wavelength, velocity • Pressure can produce a change in height (hs-ho)
volume (same was as stress → length) Ideal Gas Law: PV = NkT
Kinematics • Pressure is the same at equal depths in OR
Generally

Average Speed of Molecules
• At surface there is a net force to pull
3. Force comes in symmetrical pairs – difference in pressure ( P = P2 – P1) • For constant v – must apply a constant F to
down the surface (in the plane of the right on the upper plate, so indirectly on
equal in magnitude, opposite in direction between the fluid at height y1&y2 equals surface so tension) the upper liquid surface
• F is required to overcome resistive effects of v
Capillary • F to the right will be transmitted through the Real Gases
• When tube is in the fluid – drag the lower plate to the right The ideal gas law fails when:
liquid, attractive forces • To keep lower plate stationary – must apply
Solids and fluids between water & glass an equal and opposite force to the left
Elasticity = returns to original shape mean that the water is • Fluid layer experiences a shear stress

Stress & strain Constant proportionality is viscosity: η
atmospheric pressure cohesive forces drag
• Stress water upwards, water-water forces pull up the Energy of Phase Change
• Tensile strain Open tube manometer (measures gauge P) centre, and water-glass forces pull up water - T constant when phase change occurs
- Tensile strain is positive along the side of the tube η is the measure of friction in the fluid - Latent heat of phase change (L) =

thermal energy required for 1kg of a
fluid in the tube only takes place if the upwards
force is balanced by the mg of the fluid up the substance to melt or vaporise.
Hooke’s law and Young’s modulus tube, if the tube was wider then the mg will be Free diffusion - Solid → liquid = fusion
• stress strain much bigger • Slow - movement of a substance - Liquid → gas = vaporisation
• Young’s modulus ( ): units due to random thermal motion
Force is perpendicular to the area Dynamics of non-viscous fluids • Average distance moved by molecules Latent Heat 𝑄=𝑚𝐿

• Kinetic energy conservation: average KE for an atom or molecule
Equation of continuity • Heat transfer = exchange of net energy
• Above equations combined: Mass flowing in = mass flowing out from one body to another, both ways,
