Once you submit, you will no longer be able to change your answers. Are you sure you want to submit the quiz?
1.
Which expression defines pressure?
F/A2
F × A
F/A
A/F
2.
A force of 200 N acts on an area of 0.050 m2. The pressure is
4000 Pa
0.00025 Pa
250 Pa
10 Pa
3.
Why do snowshoes help a walker stay on top of snow?
They increase friction
They increase the force
They reduce the weight
They increase the area and so reduce the pressure
4.
The pressure at a point in a still fluid acts
only upward
equally in all directions
only sideways
only downward
5.
A gauge on a tyre reads 230 kPa. If atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa, the absolute pressure inside is
130 kPa
230 kPa
330 kPa
100 kPa
6.
A box of weight 80 N rests on a table. Turning it to rest on a face half the area will
double the pressure
leave the pressure unchanged
quadruple the pressure
halve the pressure
