Behaviours of Fluids (forces, weight, mass)

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Force   push or pull that acts on an object  
🗑
Forces can:   cause an object that is not moving to start moving, stop an object that isn't moving, change the way an object is moving, change the shape of an object (squeezing, stretching, etc)  
🗑
Types of forces   Contact forces, action-at-a-distance forces  
🗑
Contact forces   directly puts a force on an object  
🗑
Types of contact forces   Direct pushes, tension force, friction force, elastic force  
🗑
Action-at-a-distance forces   puts a force on an object without touching it (indirectly)  
🗑
Types of action-at-a-distance forces   gravitational force, magnetic force, electrostatic force  
🗑
Tension force   experienced by a rope or wire when it is pulled at either end (contact force)  
🗑
friction force   slow down or stop a moving object because of the surfaces rubbing together (contact force)  
🗑
elastic force   a spring-like material restoring itself to its normal shape after it has been (contact force) compressed or stretched  
🗑
gravitational force   acts between objects because they have mass (it can be on any 2 objects) (action-at-a-distance force)  
🗑
Magnetic force   pushes or pulls on objects that have iron, nickel, or cobalt in them (action-at-a-distance force)  
🗑
Electrostatic force   pushes or pulls between objects that have extra positive or negative charges on them (action-at-a-distance force)  
🗑
Mass   amount of material in object (measured in g/kg and never changes)  
🗑
weight   amount of gravitational force on object (depends on the mass and where you are--how far away from earth you are)  
🗑
Newton   in metric system, forces are measured in newtons(N)  
🗑
Newtons are named after:   Sir Isaac Newton  
🗑
Force-meters   use a spring or other elastic device that is pushed or pulled  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
