#1
Front (Question)

Is the air pressure higher or lower in your lungs whilst inhaling?

Back (Answer)

when inhaling, the volume in your lungs increases, creating a low pressure area in your lungs. This allows outside air to rush in and equalize the pressure in your lungs.

#2
Front (Question)

What is pressure?

Back (Answer)

Pressure is the amount of force being exerted across the area of an object.

#3
Front (Question)

what is the formula and units for calculating pressure?

Back (Answer)

Pressure = force/area or force divided by area Force: Newton units Area: square metres Pressure: Pascals (Pa) or kilopascals (kPa)

#4
Front (Question)

What happens if the area decreases or force increases?

Back (Answer)

The Pressure decreases.

#5
Front (Question)

Does fluid pressure only apply to liquids?

Back (Answer)

naur

#6
Front (Question)

What is Fluid Pressure?

Back (Answer)

Fluid pressure relies on whether the gas or liquid is enclosed.

#7
Front (Question)

What’s an Open Condition fluid?

Back (Answer)

Open condition fluids are fluids not contained within certain enclosures. i.e. - pools - oceans - the atmosphere

#8
Front (Question)

what do open condition fluids follow?

Back (Answer)

Fluid State Principles, which help explain phenomena like buoyancy and altitude pressure.

#9
Front (Question)

If a fluid is enclosed, what is it?

Back (Answer)

It becomes a closed condition fluid.

#10
Front (Question)

What are some examples of closed condition fluids?

Back (Answer)

pipes and other liquid or gas filled systems.

#11
Front (Question)

What do Closed Condition liquids follow?

Back (Answer)

Pascal’s Law of Fluid Pressure, which states that the pressure applied to a liquid will be evenly distributed throughout a liquid. i.e. squeezing a balloon the pressure exerted on the outside of the balloon forces the gasses inside to exert greater pressure on the surfaces’ inside, causing the balloon to swell or bulge.

#12
Front (Question)

What’s a Galileo Thermometer?

Back (Answer)

The Galileo Thermometer tells the temperature of a room based on the density of liquids. The orbs rise or fall based on the temperature of the surrounding liquids.

#13
Front (Question)

How do you calculate density?

Back (Answer)

ρ = mass/volume or mass over volume ρ is a greek letter called rho, often used to represent density. the density of an object is identified as the amount of mass per unit of volume. i.e. grams per mL

#14
Front (Question)

What are Homogenous materials?

Back (Answer)

homogenous materials have a uniform consistency through its properties, even in density. i.e. Distilled water It has a density of 1 g/mL if the temp is around 4 degrees.

#15
Front (Question)

What will happen to density if the temperature increases?

Back (Answer)

It will Decrease since it will create greater Volume.

#16
Front (Question)

Increased Air Pressure can do what?

Back (Answer)

It can increase the Density because it decreases Volume.

#17
Front (Question)

What are Heterogeneous Materials?

Back (Answer)

Heterogeneous Materials’ densities vary throughout. There are ways to calculate the densities of heterogeneous materials, people often use the average instead. Example: Ice It usually has a density around 0.9 g/mL at 0 degrees Celsius. But trapped air would decrease the density further in certain spots where the air is trapped.

#18
Front (Question)

What changes with atmosphere?

Back (Answer)

density of objects normally changes slightly with atmospheric changes to air pressure when gaining or losing altitude.

#19
Front (Question)

what does greater altitude cause?

Back (Answer)

Greater altitude causes the density of air to decrease which lowers its pressure. This is because of the lower amount of air pushing from above, and the weaker gravitational pull from Earth.

#20
Front (Question)

What does lower altitude typically cause?

Back (Answer)

Lower altitudes normally cause the density of objects to decrease due to lower surrounding pressure. As such, the melting and freezing points will lower due to more space for the atoms to expand. Boiling points will also decrease with the lower pressure. i.e. water Water boils at 95 degrees Celsius at 5000 feet above sea level. At 10 000 feet above sea level, water boils at 90 degrees Celsius.

#21
Front (Question)

Who was Captain Nemo?

Back (Answer)

Captain Nemo was the captain for the Nautilus from the fictional novel 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea.

#22
Front (Question)

What was the motto of the Nautilus?

Back (Answer)

Mobilis in mobili, or moving in something moving.

#23
Front (Question)

What’s the difference between a submersible and a submarine?

Back (Answer)

Submarines are self operating vehicles that don’t need outside support and include Air and Power.

#24
Front (Question)

Who arguable designed the first functional submarine?

Back (Answer)

Robert Fulton, in the 1700’s. His design inspired the creation of the Nautilus in 1800 CE.
