QuestionAnswer
Any material that can flow and takes the shape of its container is called a _________. Fluid
What are two types of fluids? Liquids and Gases.
What can particles in a fluid do? Flow because the particles in fluids move easily past eachother.
What happens when you pump up a bicycle tire? You push air into tire.
The amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface is called _________. Pressure
Force divided by area equals _________. Pressure
The SI unit of pressure is the _______. Pascal
What is the force of one newton exerted over an area of one square meter? One pascal.
Why does a soap bubble get rounder instead of longer as you blow into it? Because the shape partly depends on an important property of fluids.
What is pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere? Atmosphereic Pressure.
The percentage of gases found within 10km of Earth's surface is _____. 80
The force that holds the atmosphere in place is _______. Gravity
What is the number of newtons pressing on every square centimeter of your body? 10.
As you travel "deeper" into the atmosphere, how is atmospheric pressure affected? Pressure increases as the atmosphere gets "deeper."
Why do your ears pop when you take off in an airplane? Fluids in your body are ajusting to maintain equal pressure. The fluids in your body have to adjust to maintain equal pressure.
Water pressure increases as ______ _________. Depth increases
Water pressure and atmospheric pressure affect total pressure on objects that are _____________. Underwater
Water pressure does NOT depend on ____ ______ ________ ___ ________ __________. The total amount of fluid present
Water is about 1,000 times more dense than ___. Air
The amount of matter in a given volume is called ________. Density.
Why does water exert more pressure than air? Water is more dense tahn air.
If you dive underwater to 10M, the pressure is almost ______ as much as the atmospheric pressure at the surface. Twice
At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 101kPa and 10M under the water the water pressure is about _____. 201kPa
How does pressure change as you drink through a straw? There is less air in the straw, so the pressure in the straw is reduced.
What happens when pressure is lower inside the lungs than outside the lungs? Air flows into the lungs from high to low pressure.
How do pressure differences affect the direction in which fluids flow? High pressure to low pressure.
How do pressure differences affect of a tornado's winds? The tornado is lower than the air pressure outside the tornado.
