Pressure
is the amount of force per unit area applied to an object's surface
Atmospheric pressure
the ratio of the weight of all the air above you to surface area
Fluid
is a liquid or a gas, anything that flows
Buoyant force
is an upward force applied by a fluid on an object in the fluid
Archimedes' principle
the weight of the fluid that an object displaces is equal to the buoyant force acting on the object
Bernoulli's principle
states that the pressure of a fluid decreases when the speed of the fluid increases
Drag fore
is a force that opposes the motion of an object through fluid
Elevation
the distance above sea level
Density
a measure of how compact the mass in a substance or object is
