MFE - Pressure

As the depth below water increases, the water pressure

• decreases.

• increases.

• remains constant.

• stays the same.

As elevation increases, atmospheric pressure

• decreases.

• increases.

• remains constant.

• stays the same.

The barometer measures

• temperature.

• relative humidity.

• atmospheric pressure.

• acceleration.

Pressure is a force acting on

• a specific object.

• a specific area.

• a specific location.

• a moving object.

A fluid is any form of matter that

• oxidizes.

• rusts.

• burns.

• flows.

Examples of applying pressure on a small area include

• sharp knives.

• pillows.

• ice skates.

• blankets.

An example of applying pressure over a large(r) area is using

• snow shoes.

• a sharp knife.

• ice skates.

The two factors that affect pressure are

• area on which the force is applied.

• force acting perpendicular on a surface and weight.

• force acting perpendicular on a surface and area of contact.

• force acting perpendicular on a surface and momentum.

The formula for pressure is

• force/area.

• area/force.

• force/speed.

• force/momentum.

When force applied increases, pressure increases.

• True

• False
