What is mass divided by weight?
Maple syrup is thicker than soy sauce so it would flow ______
What is slower?
There are two types of fluid systems. What are they?
What are pneumatic and hydraulic systems?
What is a solid?
What is matter?
Since particles of a solid are usually closer together than the particles of a liquid, solids are often ________ than liquids?
What is denser?
The inventor of the calculator and studied fluids
Who is Blaise Pascal?
This must happen in order for gas to used in a fluid system
What is compressed?
What state of matter has particles moving more freely and is bound less closely
What is a liquid?
The force applied to a unit of surface area
What is pressure?
The spaces between gas particles are larger than those in solids and liquids, which means that there are considerably fewer particles in a given volume of gas. Gases are much ______ than liquids and solids.
What is less dense?
What happens on the particle level to allow a fluid to have high viscosity?
What is particles have high attractive forces and cannot easily slide by each other?
What are some advantages of pneumatic systems.
What is cost efficient, safe, and works well in a range of temperatures?
Materials that have no fixed shape and are free to flow
What is a fluid?
This is the upward force that a fluid exerts on an object. It determines whether an object sinks or floats
What is Buoyancy?
If the density of a substance is less than the density of the fluid, the substance will _____
What is float?
What happens on a particle level to allow a fluid to have low viscosity?
What is low attractive forces allowing particles to easily slide by each other?
What is the four parts of a pneumatic or hydraulic systems?
What is a pump, conductor, valve, and pressure gauge?
The units of solids and gases are cubic units, and the units for liquids is L.
What is volume?
A force applied to a fluid that is equally distributed throughout all parts of the fluid
What is Pascal's Law?
A substance generally has a greater density in its solid state than in its __________ and _______ state
What is liquid and gas?
Why do higher altitudes have less air pressure?
The air in higher altitude levels will be much less dense than closer to the surface?
Where can you find pneumatic and hydraulic systems in a rollercoaster?
What is brakes, gates, and winch up the hill?
