Density =
Density = mass/volume
1 of 16
Pressure is measured in ?
Pascals - Pa
2 of 16
In gases and liquids at rest, what is the pressure ?
The pressure at any point acts equally in all directions
3 of 16
In gases and liquids the presure increases or decreases with depth ?
Increases
4 of 16
The pressure is higher or lower at the bottom of the sea ?
Higher
5 of 16
What is pressure difference ?
Pressure difference is the difference in pressure between two points in a liquid or gas
6 of 16
Pressure difference =
pressure difference = height x density x gravity
7 of 16
What is the coldest anything can ever get ?
-273 degrees C
8 of 16
A temperature change of 1 degrees C is also a change of how many kelvins?
1
9 of 16
In a gas how are the particles arranged ?
They randomly bang into each other. They are very light but they aren't massless
10 of 16
When gas particles collide with something what do they exert?
A force on it and their momentum and direction change
11 of 16
In a sealed container gas particles smash against the containers walls creating ?
An outward pressure
12 of 16
The pressure depends on ......
How fast the particles are going and how often they hit the walls
13 of 16
More heat =
More collisions so therefore more pressure
14 of 16
Same amount of gas in a bigger container
pressure decreases
15 of 16
When volume is reduced .....
More collisions so therefore pressure increases
