Summary Comprehensive Notes on Fluid Mechanics and Maerials Chapter of Edexcel AS Physics

Document preview thumbnail
Preview 3 out of 26 pages

This is a fully, complete, comprehensive set of notes on the Fluid Mechanics and Materials chapter of the Edexcel AS Physics course that I personally, through lots of rigorous studying and learning, wrote during my AS exams, which I did in May/June 2o23. I used these notes, along with other resources such as past papers in order to solidify my knowledge and understanding of Mechanics. These notes consist of information that are not available in any A-level books or discussed in detail by teachers. However, the information is still vital and these concepts are commonly found in exam papers. This set of notes consits of about a 100 important, vital concepts needed for the Edexcel AS Physics course. Learning all the information from these notes will help you to understand all the concepts in the Edexcel AS Fluid Mechanics and Materials course, and cover any gaps of vital knowledge that is not explicitly taught. I made these notes through careful, meticulous hours of research, studying and thinking and these are the notes I used to do well in my own Physics exams. If it worked for me, I am confident, it will work for you! WARNING: DO NOT SOLELY USE THESE NOTES TO LEARN OR DO WELL IN THE EXAMS. USE THESE NOTES AS A COMPLEMENTARY RESOURCE TO YOUR STUDYING ROUTINE TO BOOST AND SOLIDIFY YOUR KNOWLEDGE. THIS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO USE THESE NOTES.

Fluid Mechanics and Materials
What is density?

What is the formula for density?




What does the X x Y x Z measurements mean?
It is Length x Width x Height

What is Archimede’s Principle?
Archimedes’ principle states that an object submerged in a fluid has an upward
buoyancy force (upthrust) that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by
the object

What is upthrust/buoyant force?
The buoyant force is the upward force on any object that is completely or partially
submerged in a fluid due to the pressure differences between its upper and lower
surfaces.

What is the formula for upthrust?




Fluid Mechanics and Materials 1

, When an object is floating, how is its submerged weight related to with the displaced
fluid weight?



When an object is floating, how is its submerged mass related to with the displaced
fluid mass?

How to derive the formula for upthrust?




Fluid Mechanics and Materials 2

, What is a hydrometer?

It is a apparatus which is used to determine the density of a fluid

How does hydrometer work?

How to calculate what fraction of volume of an object is submerged in a fluid when
in floatation?




Fluid Mechanics and Materials 3
