About Ms. Li

What is a fluid?

A substance that can flow and take the shape of its container. 

100

What is flow rate?

the measurement of speed at which a fluid flows from one point to another 

100
What's the difference between weight and mass? 

weight - a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on an object or substance 

mass - a measure of the amount of matter in an object or substance

100

What's the full name of the high school that most students will end up attending?

G. L. Roberts Collegiate and Professional Institute

100

How long as Ms. Li been at Cannon for? 

4 weeks

200

Describe the two types of flow and provide an example for each one. 

Turbulent flow - chaotic changes in pressure and velocity

Laminar flow - smooth and regular, experiences little resistance

200

List the 4 fluids we worked with from lowest to highest expected viscosity. 

water, corn syrup, honey, ketchup 

200

If a the sides of a cube are each 2 cm then what is the volume (include units)? Remember the equation for volume is length x width x height.

2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm = 8 cm3

200

How many compulsory courses do you need to take in grade 9 and what are they?

Six: English, Math, Science, Geography, French, Phys Ed 

200
What pet does Ms. Li have?

golden lab

300

What's an example of how the human body uses fluids to maintain a healthy lifestyle?

Optional responses: 

- oxygen releases energy from food

- sweat cools the body down 

- stomach acid aids the digestion of food

- blood acts as a transport 

300
Define viscosity. 

the thickness of a fluid, specifically the measure of how easily a fluid's particles can slide past one another

300
What is density? 

the amount of mass per unit of volume

300

What are the 2 optional subject areas that you can choose from? 

The Arts 

Business and Technology

300

What's Ms. Li's favourite colour?

yellow

400
What are the 4 states of matter that occur naturally?

gas, liquid, solid, and plasma

400

List at least 2 factors that affect flow rate. 

pressure, type of surface the fluid is poured out of, size of the opening that the fluid is passing through, type of fluid, temperature, or method of transfer

400

If an object has a volume of 10 cm3 and a mass of 30g. What is the density (include units)? Remember that the equation for density is D = M/V. 

D = M/V = 30 g/ 10 cm3 = 3 g/cm3

400

What is a component of education that is unique to G. L.? 

Variety of courses in the skilled trades such as landscaping and hairstyling. 
400

What is Ms. Li's favourite book series?

The Hunger Games

500

What are the 5 points in the particle model according to the Particle Theory of Matter?

1) All matter is made up of tiny particles 

2) Particles of matter are constantly moving 

3) Particles have spaces between them 

4) Adding heat to matter makes the particles move faster 

5) Particles are attracted to one another

500

What is the difference between cohesion and adhesion?

Cohesion is the force of attraction between particles of a substance whereas adhesion is the attraction between 2 different kinds of particles. 

500

If the bottle cap, in water, weighed 10 N. According to The Archimedes Principle, how much fluid would it displace? 

10 N
