Correct Answer: C. Minimum speed needed to leave a body's gravitational field without further propulsion
Explanation:
Escape velocity depends on the body's mass and radius.
It is independent of the escaping object's mass.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. Mass per unit volume
Explanation:
Density measures how much mass is contained in a given volume.
Its SI unit is kg/m³.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. Normal force per unit area
Explanation:
Pressure describes how force is distributed over a surface.
Its SI unit is the pascal.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished
Explanation:
Pascal's principle is used in hydraulic machines.
The same pressure can produce different forces on different piston areas.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. Buoyant force equals the weight of displaced fluid
Explanation:
Immersion displaces fluid and creates an upward resultant pressure force.
That force equals the displaced fluid's weight.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. Its average density is less than or equal to the fluid density and buoyant force balances weight
Explanation:
A floating object displaces enough fluid for buoyancy to equal its weight.
The submerged fraction depends on relative density.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. A fluid's resistance to internal shear and flow
Explanation:
Viscosity represents internal friction between layers.
More viscous fluids resist deformation more strongly.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. Flow in which fluid elements follow smooth noncrossing paths
Explanation:
Streamline or laminar flow has ordered layers.
Turbulent flow contains irregular fluctuations and mixing.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. The tendency of a liquid surface to minimize its area
Explanation:
Cohesive molecular forces create surface tension.
It makes a liquid surface behave like a stretched membrane.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. Ability of a material to regain original shape after deforming force is removed
Explanation:
Elastic deformation is reversible within the elastic limit.
Beyond that limit, permanent deformation may occur.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. Force per unit cross-sectional area
Explanation:
Stress measures internal force intensity.
It may be tensile, compressive, or shear.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. Fractional change in dimension
Explanation:
Strain compares deformation with original dimension.
It is dimensionless.
