pressure

The pressure exerted by a liquid

increases with depth.

decreases with depth.

is constant

first increases and then decreases.

The diagrams show, to the same scale, the vertical sections of a set of circular vessels, each containing the same depth of water.

The water exerts the same pressure on the base of each vessel.

The water exerts the greatest pressure on the base of vessel S.

The water exerts the greatest pressure on the base of vessel P.

The water exerts the same force on the base of each vessel.

Pressure can be exerted by solids, liquids and gases.

TRUE

FALSE

The pressure inside the balloon will:

Decrease

Increase

Remain the same

Not enough information to formulate an answer

The pressure inside the syringe will decrease if we move the plunger in:

Direction A

Direction B

We don't have to move the plunger as the pressure will change on its own.

None of the above answers.

either lower or higher

higher than

same

lower than

12.

True

False

13.

Compared to a man standing on a tall mountain, a man standing at sea level

has less atmospheric pressure on him

has more atmospheric pressure on him

weighs less

has more mass

14.

What happens to the amount of oxygen molecules as altitude increases?

fewer molecules

more molecules

same amount of molecules

nothing happens to the molecules

15.

Air pressure does not crush objects on earth

because more air pushes down than up

because gravity keeps air pressure away

because air pressure pushes in all directions

because the Earth has an opposing force of gravity

16.

Why is it hard to breath at high altitudes?

There is too much oxygen in this location.

There is a higher density of air molecules.

There is a low density of air molecules.

The air pressure is greater than at low altitudes.

0.1 N

10 N/m2

0.1 Pa

18.

boots because they have a larger surface area

stiletto heels because they have a larger surface area

boots because they have a smaller surface area

stiletto heels boots because they have a smaller surface area

19.

When force increases...

pressure increases

pressure decreases

pressure stays the same

pressure increases then decreases

20.
