Topic 8.3: Fluids and Newton's Laws
Learning Objective: 8.3.A
Describe the conditions under which a fluid's velocity changes.
Essential Knowledge: 8.3.A.1
Newton's laws can be used to describe the motion of particles within a fluid.
Essential Knowledge: 8.3.A.2
The macroscopic behavior of a fluid is a result of the internal interactions between the fluid's constituent particles and external forces exerted on the fluid.
Learning Objective: 8.3.B
Describe the buoyant force exerted on an object interacting with a fluid.
Essential Knowledge: 8.3.B.1
The buoyant force is a net upward force exerted on an object by a fluid.
Essential Knowledge: 8.3.B.2
The buoyant force exerted on an object by a fluid is a result of the collective forces exerted on the object by the particles making up the fluid.
Essential Knowledge: 8.3.B.3
The magnitude of the buoyant force exerted on an object by a fluid is equivalent to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Relevant equation:
