#1
Front (Question)

A pneumatic system is…

Back (Answer)

A system that uses pressurized gases to do the work, e.g bike pumps, pressure gauges.

#2
Front (Question)

A hydraulic system is…

Back (Answer)

A system that uses pressurized liquids to do the work, e.g, lifts for moving goods, car vehicle systems.

#3
Front (Question)

Both hydraulic and pneumatic systems contain…

Back (Answer)

A pump, a valve, a conductor, and a pressure gauge

#4
Front (Question)

Pressure is…

Back (Answer)

Pressure refers to the force applied to a unit of surface area. P= force/unit area

#5
Front (Question)

We calculate pressure by…

Back (Answer)

We measure pressure in pascals. (Pa). 1 Pa = 1 Neuton per meter squared.

#6
Front (Question)

Pascal’s law states…

Back (Answer)

that a force applied to a fluid is distributed equally throughout the fluid.

#7
Front (Question)

The particle theory states…

Back (Answer)

All matter is made of particles. Particles have space between them. Particles are always moving. Particles move faster and get farther apart when heated. Particles are attracted to each other. All Particles of the same substance are identical.

#8
Front (Question)

Archimede’s principle states…

Back (Answer)

That the buoyant force on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces.

#9
Front (Question)

Atmospheric pressure is….

Back (Answer)

The force exerted by the atmosphere. It decreases the higher you ascend, because there is less air pressing you down.

#10
Front (Question)

Water pressure is…

Back (Answer)

The force exerted by water. Presses on all parts of your body and in all directions

#11
Front (Question)

We calculate density by….

Back (Answer)

Mass divided by volume.

#12
Front (Question)

We calculate the percentage of how much an object is submerged by…

Back (Answer)

Density of object divided by the density of the fluid multiplied by 100.

#13
Front (Question)

Altering buoyancy ways…

Back (Answer)

Fish and some aquatic plants have bladders containing air that can be inflated or deflated, and and ships have features and ballasts that act as weights.

#14
Front (Question)

Valves…

Back (Answer)

Keep the fluid moving in the desired direction and time.

#15
Front (Question)

A pump..

Back (Answer)

Forces fluids through a system.

#16
Front (Question)

Conductors…

Back (Answer)

provide a pathway to carry the fluid.

#17
Front (Question)

A pressure gauge…

Back (Answer)

Monitors pressure within the system.

#18
Front (Question)

Compressibility is…

Back (Answer)

The ability of a substance to become more compact when squeezed.

#19
Front (Question)

Metal ships float when raw metal sinks because…

Back (Answer)

The ship is hollow, so the air inside it, which has a very low density, it brought the overall density down.
