100
The upward force that keeps an object immersed in or floating on a liquid.
What is buoyant force?
100
This is the upward force on an object that moves through a fluid.
What is lift?
100
A driver applies brakes to the car.
What is Pascals Principle? The principle that states that a fluid in equilibrium contained in a vessel exerts a pressure of equal intensity in all directions.
100
A rock sinks to the bottom of a pond. What must be true about the relationship between its weight and its buoyant force?
What is weight is greater than buoyant force?
100
This Pixar film stars Tim Allen and Tom Hanks as a cowboy and a spaceman.
What is Toy Story?
200
A nonsolid state of matter in which the atoms or molecules are free to move past each other, as in a gas or a liquid.
What is a fluid?
200
This is the pushing force exerted by the engine of an aircraft or rocket.
What is thrust?
200
An aircraft takes off of the ground.
What is Bernoulli's Principle? The principle that states that the pressure in a fluid decreases as the fluid's velocity increases.
200
A fish swims through the water. What must be true about the relationship between the fish's weight and its buoyant force?
What is the buoyant force and its weight are equal?
200
This film follows the incredible adventures of young Hogarth Hughes who late one night discovers and befriends an giant mechanical alien.
What is Iron Giant?
300
This is a force parallel to the velocity of the flow; in opposes the direction of the aircraft and, in combination with thrust, determines the speed of an aircraft.
What is drag?
300
A hydraulic jack lifts a car off the ground.
What is Pascal's Principle? The principle that states that a fluid in equilibrium contained in a vessel exerts a pressure of equal intensity in all directions.
300
This is why an ice cube floats on the surface of water.
What is it is less dense than water?
300
This classic Disney film stars a young girl on her adventures through a magic world, and is guided by a mysterious feline who goes by the name of the Cheshire Cat.
What is Alice in Wonderland?
400
The principle that states that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of the fluid that the object displaces.
What is Archimedes' Principle?
400
This is an irregular or unpredictable flow of fluids.
What is turbulence?
400
A bottle of shampoo falls into a tub that is completely full. As is it falls into the tub, it pushes some of the water outside of the tub onto the floor.
What is Archimedes' Principle? The buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force that is equal to the weight of the volume of fluid that the object displaces.
400
This is the reason why a helium balloon floats in air.
What is because helium is less dense than air?
400
This adventure begins when Mowgli, a little boy raised by wolves, is urged by his friend Bagheera, a wise old panther, to seek safety in the man village.
What is The Jungle Book?
500
The principle that states that the pressure in a fluid decreases as the fluid's velocity increases
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
500
These are the three factors that can affect the lift of an aircraft.
What is thrust, drag (or aerodynamics), and wing size.
500
A curve ball pitch is thrown at a baseball game.
What is Bernoulli's Principle? The principle that states that the pressure in a fluid decreases as the fluid's velocity increases.
