  • What is the mass of a 67kg man on the moon?
    67 kg
  • A small table weighing 40 N stands on four legs, each having an area of 0.001 m^2 . What is the pressure of the table on the floor?
    10000 N/m^2
  • In which direction does pressure acts?
    perpendicular to the surface
  • State Hooke's Law
    Hooke's Law states that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the load applied to it.
  • Describe the graph of Force against extension.
    The graph of force against extension is a straight line.
  • On which surface should the block be laid to produce the least pressure on the table?
    B
  • what is streamlining?
    he contouring of an object, such as an aircraft body, to reduce its drag, or resistance to motion through a stream of air.
  • The table gives four combinations of the force applied to a surface area and the area over which it acts. Which row gives the largest pressure exerted on the surface?
    C
  • name three things that forces can do
    1. Change motion of an object, 2. Change the direction of motion 3. chnge the size and shape of object,
  • weight is different from mass because weight depends on the _____________
    gravitational field strength
  • A person walking through snow sinks into it.The person makes a change so that the does not sink the next time he goes out. What did he do?
    Wear shoes with a much larger area on the bottom to increase the area of contact with the snow.
  • What is pressure?
    the force per unit area
  • On which surface should the block be laid to produce the largest pressure on the table?
    C

    560 Newtons
  • another name for air resistance
    drag
  • How has the change affected the force on the floor, and the pressure exerted by the briefcase on the floor?
    A. force - unchanged, pressure - decreased
  • state the equation used to calculate pressure.
    Pressure = force / area
  • The table gives four combinations of the force applied to a surface area and the area over which it acts. Which row gives the smallest pressure exerted on the surface?
    B
  • What quantity remains constant regardless of a change in gravity?
    mass
  • What pressure does a 4000N horse exert on the ground if each foot is 10 square centimeter?
    100 Newton per square centimeter
  • A woman is on contact with the floor. In which of these poses does she produce the most pressure on the floor?
    D
  • If an object's surface area is smaller does it create more or less pressure?
    more pressure
