Pressure

Click For Summary

Static pressure refers to the pressure exerted by a fluid at rest, while dynamic pressure is the pressure associated with the fluid's motion. Total pressure combines both static and dynamic pressure, representing the overall pressure in a fluid system. Understanding these differences is crucial for applications in fluid dynamics and engineering. The discussion highlights the importance of definitions in grasping these concepts. Clarifying these terms enhances comprehension of fluid behavior in various contexts.

You should be able to figure that out though - have you tried looking up the definitions of the terms?

Thread 'Mousetrap Car Energy efficiency'

For simple comparison, I think the same thought process can be followed as a block slides down a hill, - for block down hill, simple starting PE of mgh to final max KE 0.5mv^2 - comparing PE1 to max KE2 would result in finding the work friction did through the process. efficiency is just 100*KE2/PE1. If a mousetrap car travels along a flat surface, a starting PE of 0.5 k th^2 can be measured and maximum velocity of the car can also be measured. If energy efficiency is defined by...
