Interactions 1.3 CSA review game

Front

What happens to the mass of a basketball when it is pumped with air?

Back

The mass increases because air is made of matter.

Front

What does the continuous model of matter suggest about substances?

Back

It suggests that substances do not have smaller pieces that make them up.

Front

Why is it advantageous to fill a bike tire with air instead of making it from solid rubber?

Back

Air particles have a lot of space between them, allowing them to compress when hitting bumps.

Front

What is the particle model of matter?

Back

It is a model that demonstrates there is space between particles, as shown when mixing water and ethanol.

Front

What are pneumatic tires and why are they preferred over solid tires?

Back

Pneumatic tires are filled with air and can compress to provide a more comfortable ride on bumpy roads.

Front

How does the addition of air to a basketball affect its ability to bounce?

Back

Adding air increases the ball's ability to bounce because it provides the necessary pressure.

Front

What is the significance of air being compressible in terms of tire design?

Back

Compressibility allows tires to absorb shocks and provide a smoother ride.

Front

What is the difference between the continuous model and the particle model of matter?

Back

The continuous model suggests substances are uniform without smaller components, while the particle model acknowledges the existence of space between particles.

Front

Why do solid tires not go flat, and what is a disadvantage of this?

Back

Solid tires do not go flat but do not provide the same level of comfort as air-filled tires.

Front

What role does air play in the functionality of pneumatic tires?

Back

Air provides cushioning and allows the tire to adapt to road conditions.
