Intermediate Activities: Properties

1.	The aerodynamic forces for flight occur in a fluid. The fluid is usually air or water, although there are other fluids. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False

2.	The temperature of the fluid is an important part of how the fluid behaves. For example, hot oil flows faster than cold oil. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False

3.	The reason why lakes freeze from the surface down, is because very cold water is lighter than cool water. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False

4.	It is very important to know the temperature of the fluid when computing aerodynamic quantities. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False

5.	When a fluid moves over or through an object, it gives small pushes on the surface of the object. These pushes, over the entire surface, are defined as _____________. (Check the correct answer.)
	temperature pressure properties

6.	Pressure is measured in force per unit ___________ (Check the correct answer.)
	length area volume

7.	Air pressure increases as the altitude increases. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False

8.	Density is a measure of how much mass is included in a given object or volume. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False

9.	_____________ is a measure of how much a fluid will resist flowing on a surface. (Check the correct answer.)
	Force Density Viscosity

10.	An object will weigh a little less at high temperatures but the mass will remain the same. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False

11.	The units for weight and gravity are: pounds mass or pounds force. Mass will not change. Pounds force will change a little with altitude. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False

12.	How fast an object moves is measured by its viscosity. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False

13.	If a person runs 10 kilometers in 1 hour, his or her velocity is _______ kilometers per hour. (Check the correct answer.)
	1 10 11

14.	Acceleration is a measure of how the velocity of an object is changing. (Check the correct answer.)
	True False
