Q

Gravitational force ?

A

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between objects because they have mass. Depends on the mass .

Q

What do bathroom scales measure ?

A

They actually measure force, not mass.

Bathroom scale is a weight scale not a mass scale .

17
Q

How to measure force ?

A

Force meters are equipped with a spring or a similar elastic device that stretches or compresses in response to being pulled or pushed .

Most common type of force meter is called a Newton gauge or spring scale.

18
Q

Balanced forces ?

A

Balanced forces are equal in strength and oppose each other in direction . Balanced forces keep an object moving at a constant speed and direction.

19
Q

Unbalanced forces ?

A

Unbalanced forces cause a change in the speed or direction of an object . If forces remain unbalanced the box will continue to increase its speed .

20
Q

Pressure ?

A

Pressure is the amount of force acting over a given area on an object.

21
Q

Compression

A

Compression is a decrease in volume produced by a force .

22
Q

Why are gases easily compressible ?

A

A gas can easily be compressed because there is a large amount of space between its particles.

23
Q

Why does warmer particles expand ?

A

Heat = energy .
Energy makes the particles move faster which causes it to increase in size .
Increase pressure could cause an explosion .

24
Q

Implosions ?

A

As a heated item cools causes them o lose energy. This contraction caused the pressure inside the can to become lower than air pressure outside the can. Air pressure on the outside pushed the walls of the can inward .

25
Q

Why are liquids and solids very difficult to compress ?

A

There is no room for the particles to move any closer together .

26
Q

Deformation ?

A

The formation means a change of shape without being forced into a smaller volume .

27
Q

How does compression and deformation occur at the same time ?

A

When a large force hits the face it deforms and compresses at the same time.

28
Q

Formula for pressure ?

A

Pressure = force divided by area

29
Q

Common units in pressure calculations ?

A

Pascal ( Pa) or kilo pascal ( kPa)

30
Q

Viscosity ?

A

Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow . ( thicker = greater viscosity )

31
Q

Flow rate ?

A

Flow rate is the speed at which a fluid flows from one point to another .

32
Q

Effect of temperature on viscosity ?

A 
Colder = higher viscosity 
Warmer = lesser viscosity
33
Q

Heated liquids ?

A

Viscosity decreases

34
Q

Cooled liquids ?

A

Viscosity increases

35
Q

Heated gases ?

A

Particles are Father apart= viscosity increases

36
Q

Gases cooled ?

A

Viscosity decreases

37
Q

Adhesion ?

A

Adhesion is attraction or joining of two different objects or fluids to each other. Fluids are sometimes attracted o surfaces and stick to them :3

38
Q

Cohesion ?

A

Cohesion refers to the strength with which the particles of an object or fluid attract each other . Like a water molecule .

39
Q

Surface tension ?

A

Surface tension is a property of a liquid in which the surface of the liquid acts like a thin skin or membrane .

40
Q

Define force

A

A force is a push or pull that acts on an object .
