Science Engineering Test

Question 1

Gravity

Answer 1

the force of attraction that pulls all matter.

Question 2

Energy

Answer 2

the ability to work. Energy makes things move.

Question 3

Fluid Friction

Answer 3

fluid layers moving relative to each other (also known as drag). The viscosity of water slows the object (person) down.

Question 4

Viscosity

Answer 4

thickness of fluid. Viscosity slows the object down. The higher the viscosity, the more friction will be created.

Question 5

Potential Energy

Answer 5

the stored energy an object has because of its position.

Question 6

Kinetic Energy

Answer 6

The energy of motion

Question 7

Lubricant

Answer 7

a substance to lessen friction

Question 8

Friction

Answer 8

a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object

Question 9

Accelerate

Answer 9

speeding up

Question 10

Inertia

Answer 10

the resistance of an object to change in its motion, including its direction
