The term fluids generally applies to:
solid and liquid
liquid and gas
solid and plasma
water only
Which statements below is INCORRECT about liquids and gases?
Liquids possess greater kinetic energy than gases.
Gases have weak molecular force of attraction while liquids have a moderate force of attraction.
Liquids have a definite size where gases can expand to fill any closed container.
Gases are easily compressed where liquids are not.
These statements are about the particle model of matter. Which one is not correct?
Liquids are hard to compress because their particles are very close together
Gases expand to fill their container because there are only weak forces between the particles
Liquids can flow because there are only very weak forces between the particles
Solids have a fixed shape because there are very strong forces between the particles
Why do solids expand when they are heated?
The particles get bigger
The particles vibrate more and take up more space
The particles vibrate more and get closer together
The particles stick together

Density is:
the weight of a fixed mass of something.
the volume of a fixed weight of something.
the weight of a fixed volume of something.
the mass of a fixed volume of something.
When liquid water changes into steam it is:
evaporating.
condensing.
melting.
dissolving.
In what way is ice different to other solid materials?
It is colder.
It occurs naturally.
Ice (solid water) is less dense than liquid water.
The density of ice does not change when it is cooled down.
Which of these forces is the upthrust?
A
B
C
D
Why does a hot air balloon float in air?
Air is less dense than water.
The density of hot air is less than the density of cold air.
Air is denser on cold days.
The overall density of the balloon and its basket is less than the density of the air.
The air resistance of a car can be reduced by:
making the car bigger.
giving it a streamlined shape.
making the car heavier.
putting a roof box on it.
A car needs a forwards force to keep moving because:
everything needs a force to keep moving.
gravity is trying to slow it down.
it needs a force to balance friction and air resistance.
weight balances friction.
