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
weight   the force of gravity acting on an object  
🗑
mass   the amount of matter that makes up an object or substance  
🗑
volume   the amount of space an object or substance takes up  
🗑
displace   to take the place of  
🗑
density   a measure of the mass per unit volume of a substance  
🗑
characteristic property   a property that makes a particular substance distinct from others  
🗑
buoyancy   the upward supportive force on an object in a fluid  
🗑
swim bladder   a controllable, balloon-like chamber that allows fish to alter their buoyancy  
🗑
ballast tanks   compartments in a ship or submarine that take in water to keep the ship stable or help a submarine dive below the surface  
🗑
pressure (scientifi c defi nition)   the force per unit area  
🗑
pressure formula   force/area  
🗑
pressure measured in   pascals(Pa)1 Pa = 1 N/m2  
🗑
atmospheric pressure   the force the atmosphere exerts on a unit of surface area  
🗑
Pascal’s Law   states that a force applied to a fluid is distributed equally through all parts of the fluid  
🗑
compress   to pack closely together; squeeze  
🗑
compressibility   the ability to be squeezed into a smaller volume  
🗑
pneumatic system   a system that uses gases under pressure  
🗑
hydraulic system   a system that uses liquids under pressure  
🗑
Hydraulic and pneumatic fluid systems consist 1   a pump (sometimes including cylinders and pistons) forces fluids through a system • conductors (tubing, hoses, or pipes) provide a pathway to carry the fluid  
🗑
Hydraulic and pneumatic fluid systems consist 2   valves keep the fluid moving in the desired direction at the desired time • a pressure gauge monitors pressure within the system Each component has its own job to do  
🗑
density formula   mass/volume  
🗑


   

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.
