What two states of matter can flow?

Liquid and gas

100

What is viscosity?

The thickness or thinness of fluids is a property called viscosity. Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow.  Fluids with high viscosity do not flow as easily as fluids with a low viscosity

100

This is the equation for finding density

What is mass divided by volume?

100

What are the two forces that act on objects in water?

Buoyant force and gravity

100

What temperature of water floats on top?

Warm

200

This fluid is used to transport and take materials to cells in the human body

What is blood?

200

Ketchup, molasses, corn syrup, and honey are all examples of liquids that have this

What is high viscosity?

200

The amount of space occupied by an object is called this

What is volume?

200

What is displacement?

Tells us that when something is completely submerged, the volume of fluid displaced is equal to the volume of the object.

200

What would sink first? A 3kg ball of metal or a 3kg ball of styrofoam?

It would be the same
300
What determines the shape of a fluid?

The shape of the container that it is in

300

Water and vegetable oil are examples of liquids that have this

What is low viscosity?

300

This is a measure of the amount of matter in a substance or object

What is mass?

300

What did Archimedes discover? What did he use it to determine?

The amount of water that spilled out of his bathtub was equal in volume to the space that his body occupied. He used it to determine the amount of gold in the crown.

300

When water freezes, it becomes more dense (T or F)

False (less dense)

400

Give me two examples of fluid in the human body that are not blood.

Sweat, urine, saliva

400

This is one way to determine whether a liquid has high or low viscosity (hint- think of our experiment)

What is speed?

400

This is the measurement of the force of gravity pulling on an object

What is weight?

400
How does buoyancy work with fish?

Their swim bladders fill with air to help fish rise or release air so fish can sink, often in conjunction with forward movement. Some fish, however, don't have swim bladders. These fish typically use continuous forward movement along with angled pectoral fins to stay afloat.

400

Liquids have a definite shape (T or F)

False (Liquids do not have a definite shape)

500

What are two of the points in the Particle Theory?

  • all matter is made of tiny particles

  • particles haver empty spaces between them

  • particles are moving randomly all the time

  • particles move faster and spread apart when they are heated

  • particles attract each other.

500

How does adding heat affect the viscosity/flow of fluids?


500

This is the measure of the amount of matter in a given volume of a substance

What is density?

500

What role does buoyancy play in why boats float?

Various

500

Whose boat held the most amount of pennies? How many was it?
