How do liquids behave when flowing?

• They maintain a constant shape

• They fill the entire volume of their container

• They maintain a constant volume but change shape

• They do not change shape

What is the unit of measurement for pressure?

• Newtons (N)

• Grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)

• Pascals (Pa)

• Liters (L)

How does the density of a fluid affect the pressure it exerts?

• Denser fluids exert less pressure

• Denser fluids exert more pressure

• Density does not affect pressure

• Less dense fluids exert more pressure

What is atmospheric pressure?

• The weight of water above a point

• The weight of air above a point

• The weight of solids above a point

• The weight of gases below a point

When will an object float in a fluid?

• When the buoyant force is less than its weight.

• When the buoyant force equals its weight.

• When the buoyant force is greater than its weight.

• When the object is denser than the fluid.

What happens to an object if its weight is greater than the weight of the fluid it displaces?

• It floats.

• It sinks.

• It remains suspended.

• It evaporates.

Why is understanding fluid dynamics essential?

• It is only important for weather forecasting.

• It is crucial for engineering and safety in construction and aviation.

• It has no practical applications.

• It is only used in cooking.
