20 questions

Question 1: Reducing the volume of a gas decreases its pressure.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials state that the pressure of a gas can be increased by reducing the volume. Therefore, reducing the volume of a gas increases its pressure, it does not decrease it.

Question 2: A fluid is defined as a material where particles are able to move freely, and this definition solely includes liquids.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials define a fluid as 'Materials where particles are able to move freely (liquids and gases)', indicating that the definition includes both liquids and gases, not exclusively liquids.

Question 3: A smaller area will create a greater pressure with the same force acting on it.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials explicitly state, 'A smaller area will create a greater pressure with the same force acting on it.'

Question 4: The unit of measurement for pressure is Pa.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials define pressure as "The force per unit area exerted on a surface. Unit is Pa". Additionally, the equation for pressure is given as "Pressure (Pa)", confirming Pa as the unit.

Question 5: The acceleration of an object is determined by dividing its mass (Kg) by the force (N) applied to it.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials state the equation for Force as F = m × a, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Therefore, acceleration (a) is calculated by dividing Force (N) by mass (Kg), not mass by force.
