Pressure A force that acts over a certain area. Force Pressure = Area
Fluids Matter that is able to flow.
Fluids Exert pressure because of the motion of their particles.

Air molecules inside a basketball press against the material. The more air in the ball, the less it will compress and the higher it will bounce. Can you dribble a ball with no air?
Barometers Measure Air Pressure
The pressure exerted by air at sea level is 10.13 N/cm2
Atmospheric pressure is usually reported by the “weatherman” in inches of mercury “Normal” atmospheric pressure is 29.92 in Hg
29.92 inches of mercury Is that a lot?

Describe the characteristics of a low pressure air mass
Describe the characteristics of a high pressure air mass
What is a weather "front"?
How does this picture relate to atmospheric pressure?
Buoyancy The force of a fluid that pushes up on an object in a fluid.
Buoyancy If buoyant force is equal to the weight of the object, the object will be suspended inside the fluid.
Buoyancy If buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object, the object will rise in the fluid.
Buoyancy If buoyant force is less than the weight of the object, the object will sink in the fluid.
Archimedes Principle states that the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object.
The pressure in a moving stream of fluid is less than the pressure in the surrounding fluid.
The pressure in a moving stream of fluid is less than the pressure in the surrounding fluid.
The Bernoulli's Principle keeps airplanes in the air.

The Physics of Baseball
The bat exerts about 8000 pounds of force on the ball.
Contact between the ball and the bat lasts only about 1/1000 sec.
The ball distorts to about half its original diameter when it contacts the bat.
