What quantity remains constant regardless of a change in gravity?
mass
state the equation used to calculate pressure.
Pressure = force / area
What is the mass of a 67kg man on the moon?
67 kg
If an object's surface area is smaller does it create more or less pressure?
more pressure
A woman has a mass of 56 kg. What is her weight on Earth?
560 Newtons
On which surface should the block be laid to produce the largest pressure on the table?
C
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
Describe the graph of Force against extension.
The graph of force against extension is a straight line.
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
What pressure does a 4000N horse exert on the ground if each foot is 10 square centimeter?
100 Newton per square centimeter
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
A woman is on contact with the floor. In which of these poses does she produce the most pressure on the floor?
D

10000 N/m^2
On which surface should the block be laid to produce the least pressure on the table?
B
another name for air resistance
drag
weight is different from mass because weight depends on the _____________
gravitational field strength

Wear shoes with a much larger area on the bottom to increase the area of contact with the snow.
In which direction does pressure acts?
perpendicular to the surface
What is pressure?
the force per unit area
State Hooke's Law
Hooke's Law states that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the load applied to it.
