Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the term for the pressure difference that causes fluid to flow?
  • Step 1: Understand that fluids (like water or air) need a reason to move.
  • Step 2: Realize that fluids flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
  • Step 3: The difference in pressure between these two areas is what makes the fluid move.
  • Step 4: This difference in pressure is called the pressure gradient.
