What is the movement of the fluid called?

Convection is heat transfer by the movement of heated fluids. Heat transfer is the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.


What is the weight of an object that is immersed in 100 ft of salt water?

There is really no way to answer the question definitively. It can only be answered in general, theoretical terms. Since you didn't mention the VOLUME of the object, we cannot determine the amount of salt water it displaced. The object's weight would be reduced by an amount equal to the weight of the water displaced. Further, since we don't know the density of the salt water -- salt water is denser than fresh water, and its density varies with salinity -- that further confounds the problem. First, Pascal's principle tells us that fluid pressure on a submerged object is exerted in all directions. But since fluid pressure increases with depth, the pressure on the bottom of the object is greater than on the top, so a net upward force -- buoyancy -- is created. Second, objects of equal volume will have the same buoyancy. (That is somewhat counter-intuitive, since many people assume that a rock will be less buoyant than, say, a similarly sized piece of cork.) The buoyant force opposes the object's weight, so submerged objects have lower effective weight than objects in air. If the buoyant force is greater than an object's real weight, it will rise; if not, it sinks. Third, since buoyancy is proportional to the volume of the submerged object, if the object compresses significantly as it reaches greater depth, its buoyancy will decrease and its effective or apparent weight will increase, which will cause it to sink farther.


How many square centimeters is forty four fluid ounces?

This conversion cannot be done directly because fluid ounces measure volume while square centimeters measure area. The two units measure different aspects of an object, so they cannot be converted without more information about the shape or density of the object.


How many ounces of a 64 ounces of water will 303 grams of platinum displace?

Platinum has a density of about 21.45 g/ml 303 grams will therefor displace 14.12 ml or roughly 1/2 ounce (british) of water


How many fluid ounces are in a qaurt?

256 fluid ounces

How many types of friction are there?

There are four main types of friction: static friction (when object is not moving), kinetic friction (when object is moving), rolling friction (when object rolls on a surface), and fluid friction (opposes the motion of an object through a fluid).

What is force fluid?

This means to drink as many fluids as you can, more than you normally would, when you are sick. I don't understand the physiology behind it but it is something a nurse has told me before.

Can an airplane find a submerged object?

Yes, in many ways. Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD), dipping sonar, and sonobuoys are common. I would suggest you check out http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_491.shtml for more.


How do you find the volume of a irregular shaped object?

You use integration. That means you divide it into lots of smaller pieces; for example into thin, parallel slabs. For each slab you calculate the area, and multiply it by the thickness.If the slab has an irregular area, you may need to divide it into many thin strips - so you would basically do a double integration.
