2.

Which is NOT the unit of pressure?

a)

mmHg

b)

m2N\frac{m^2}{N}  

c)

3.

Which statemen is correct about pressure, force and area?

a)

Pressure is inversely proportional to area

b)

Pressure is directly proportional to area

c)

Pressure is inversely proportional to force

4.

Why is it hard to cut using a dull knife?

a)

A dull knife has larger contact area than the sharp one, so its pressure is greater.

b)

A dull knife has smaller contact area than the sharp one, so its pressure is greater.

c)

A sharp knife has larger contact area than the sharp one, so its pressure is greater.

d)

A dull knife has larger contact area than the sharp one, so its pressure is smaller.

5.

A force of 500 N is given to 0.02 m2. What is the pressure?

a)

25 Pa

b)

25 kPa

c)

10 Pa

d)

0.04 kPa

6.

A box has a mass of 5 kg. What is the contact are between the box and the floor to produce pressure of 20 Pa?

a)

2.5 m2m^2  

b)

2.5 m3m^3  

c)

0.25 m2m^2  

d)

100 m2m^2  

7.

Which hole will produce strongest flow of water? Why?

a)

Hole 1, since the deeper the liquid the greater the pressure

b)

Hole 3, since the deeper the liquid the greater the pressure

c)

Hole 1, since the shallower the liquid the greater the pressure

d)

Hole 3, since the deeper the liquid the smaller the pressure

8.

a)

density of object

b)

density of liquid

c)

gravitational field strength

d)

depth of liquid

9.

11.

What is pressure of sea water get by the diver in point A?

a)

102 kPa

b)

10.2 kPa

c)

102 Pa

d)

10200 Pa

12.

Why does a dam have thinner wall at the top than at the bottom?

a)

it is to counteract the greater force at the bottom since the deeper the liquid, the greater the pressure

b)

it is to counteract the greater force at the bottom since the deeper the liquid, the smaller the pressure

c)

it is to counteract the smaller force at the bottom since the deeper the liquid, the greater the pressure

d)

it is to counteract the smaller force at the bottom since the deeper the liquid, the smaller the pressure

13.

Which one is not correct about atmospheric pressure?

a)

atmospheric pressure is equal to the weight of atmosphere

b)

atmospheric pressure is weight of atmosphere in a certain area

a)

gas 1 will move to the right since it has greater push than gas 2

b)

gas 1 will move to the right since it has smaller push than gas 2

c)

gas 2 will move to the left since it has greater push than gas 1

d)

gas 2 will move to the left since it has smaller push than gas 1
