1. What is pressure at sea level?

• 1 atm
• 2 atm
• 3 atm
• 4 atm

2. Why would a bottle filled with hot water get crushed when it is put in an ice bath?

• Centrifugal force
• The air pressure inside the bottle decreased
• The air pressure inside the bottle increased
• The air pressure on the surface caused evaporation

3. What happens to a beach ball when you pump it up too much?

• The ball will pop due to the increase in air pressure
• The ball will pop due to the increase in temperature
• The ball will pop due to evaporation
• The ball will pop due to condensation

4. Why is there a picture of the Golden Gate bridge on page 43?

• Because Ms. Scott is a 49ers fan
• Because people like riding bikes on the Golden Gate bridge
• Because the picture is demonstrating the air pressure at sea level
• Because it is always cold in San Francisco

5. What is the name of the unit of pressure that is represented by the abbreviation "atm"

• Atoms
• Automatic Teller Machine

7. Your soccer coach wants you to fill up the soccer balls with air the night before the big game. It's expected to be a cold night. Is it a good idea to fill them up and leave them out in the cold? Why or why not?

• This is a good idea because it's good luck and you are guaranteed to win.
• This is a good idea because the soccer balls will be cold and they won't melt overnight.
• This is not a good idea because the soccer balls will deflate overnight due to the decrease in air pressure in cooler temperatures.
• This is not a good idea because the soccer balls will deflate overnight due to the increase in air pressure in cooler temperatures.

8. When you place a finger over a straw of liquid, the force of the air pressure at the bottom of the liquid is less than the force of gravity.

• True
• False

9. ___________________ is a decrease in volume as temperature decreases.

• Thermal contraction
• Thermal expansion
• Thermal pressure
• Thermal decrease

10. Why would a balloon expand as it heats up?

• The kinetic energy of the air particles decreases.
• The air particles start to move faster and collide more with the inside surface of the balloon.
• The number of air particles inside the balloon changes.
• All of the above.
