What are the 6 types of forces?
|
Tension force, friction force, elastic force, gravitational force, electrostatic force, magnetic force
|
|
Are mass and weight proportional?
|
Yes
|
|
What are balanced forces?
|
Forces that are equal in strength and in opposite direction; they do not change the motion of an object
|
|
What are unbalanced forces?
|
Forces that cause a change in the speed or direction of an object
|
|
Can a gas be compressed?
|
Yes because there is already lots of space in between the particles
|
|
Can liquids be compressed?
|
Not really because there is no space for the particles to move closer together
|
|
What is the calculation for pressure?
|
P= F/A
|
|
A student sings on stage while standing on a 2 by 2 m platform. If the student weighs 800 N, what pressure does the platform put on stage?

|
What is adhesion?
|
The attraction between the molecules of two different substances in contact with each other
|
|
What is cohesion?
|
The strength with which the particles of an object or fluid attract each other
|
|
What is viscosity?
|
The resistance of a fluid to flow; the slower the flow, the greater the viscocity
|
|
What is the flow rate for liquids?
|
Heated= less viscosity
Cooled= higher viscosity |
|
What is the flow rate for gases?
|
Heated= higher viscosity
Cooled= lower viscosity |
