Which of the following quantities is a scalar?
Force
Velocity
Pressure
Acceleration
Why is pressure considered a scalar quantity?
Because it has both magnitude and direction.
Because it only has magnitude.
Because it only has direction.
Because it is a vector quantity.
A submarine is submerged in water. The pressure exerted by the water on the submarine:
Acts only downwards.
Acts only upwards.
Acts equally in all directions.
Acts only on the front surface.

Which of the following is an example of an incompressible fluid?
Air
Steam
Water
Helium
Which of the following best describes an incompressible fluid?
A fluid that easily changes its volume under pressure.
A fluid that maintains a constant volume under pressure.
A fluid that has low density.
A fluid that is always a gas.
Fluid pressure is caused by:
The weight of the fluid.
The volume of the fluid.
Collisions of fluid particles against a surface.
The temperature of the fluid.
