200

What is the unit for Pressure?

Pascals

200

As the volume increases, what happens to the density?

It decreases

200

If an object is the same density as water was placed at the bottom of a pool, what would happen?

The object would sit at the bottom until something moved it.

200

To find gauged pressure in a fluid, what variables need to be multiplied together?

pgh
p = fluid Density
g = Gravity
h = fluid depth (height)

200

When sprinting, would you apply more pressure to the ground using running shoes or soccer cleats and why?

The soccer cleats because the surface area of the cleats are smaller that the surface area of the sneaker.

300

What is a fluid?

Anything that takes the shape of it's container.
(Liquids & Gases)

300

If a sphere with a radius of 3cm had a density of 3kg/cm what would the mass be?

~ 3/113.10 or .027

300

What is the Buoyant Force Fromula

Fb = mf(g) or Fb = pfVf(g)

300

Two rectangular blocks of the same mass are placed on a table. One is placed on the long side, making its surface area larger, and another is placed on its shorter side, making its surface area smaller.

Which applies more pressure to the table

The rectangular blocks with a smaller surface area

A single conservative force Fx = (6.0x−12) N (x is in m) acts on a particle moving along the x axis. The potential energy associated with this force is assigned a value of +20 J at x = 0. What is the potential energy at x = 3.0 m?
a. +11 J
b. +29 J
c. +9.0 J
d.−9.0 J

B

400

How does surface area relate to pressure?

As the surface area increase, the pressure decrease.

400

The following is provided about two spheres' radius and mass. Which would have a higher density?

Sphere 1 - Radius = R ; Mass = 2M
Sphere 2 - Radius = 2R ; Mass = 4M

Sphere 1 would have a higher density

What is the pressure formula?

p = Fperp/A
Fperp = Perpendicular Force
A = Surface Area
p = Pressure

500

A balloon filled with gas is compressed. The volume shrinks, but the gas inside is still the same amount. Which is true?
A.) The density decreases because the volume decreases
B.) The density remains the same because the gas remains constant
C.) The density increases because the volume decreases

C
