What is a fluid?


Any substance that can move — liquids (water, blood, honey) and gases (O2, gas mixtures);
molecules are free to move and collide with things


What is the formula for pressure?


P = Force / Area


What are the two ways to increase pressure?


Increase the force (harder/more molecular collisions) OR decrease the area (same force
over less surface)
