The term that is used to describe the flow of air or fluid around an object is buoyant force. An example of buoyant force is when you float on an inflatable object in the swimming pool.

What is frictional drag?

Friction drag is the drag acting on the surface of an object from a fluid flowing over it. When a fluid flows over an object it exerts a shear force on the object because of the fluid's viscosity which pulls the object in the direction of the flow.

How is bernoulli's principle related to car racing?

Bernoulli's principle of aerodynamic flow relates to anything that has to do with fluid flow over or through an object. It applies to fluid flow in pipes or wind flow around buildings. So I'm sure engineers who design fast cars use this principle in the design of the body and other areas such as fluid in carburetor, etc.


Describe the direction of heat flow when a warm object and a cool object touch?

The flow of heat energy from the warmer object to the cooler oneis so probable that it is considered a law in thermodynamics.


Why does a ball fall more slowly through viscous fluid than through water?

Viscosity is defined as a measure of the resistance to flow of a fluid. Therefor, the flow of, or the passage of an object through, a viscous fluid is resisted by the fluid.


What is an airstream?

How does energy transfer to another object?

By contact (conduction), by gas or liquid fluid flow (convection), by wave (radiation).

How is heat transferred through the body?

Heat relies on the flow of a fluid to transport it from the object being cooled to the surrounding environment!
