11.7 atmospheric pressure Flashcards
(11 cards)
pressure (defintion)
the force per unit area, it is a physical property of all states of matter and is measured in pascals (pa) or kilopascals (kpa)
the si unit is pa (but usually need to do in kpa
pressure is proptional to ?
force: it is directly related to the size of force (greater the force greater the pressure
pressure is inversely related to ?
area. bigger the area the less pressure
atmospheretic pressure defintion
force per unit area exerted by air of all objects
standard pressure definition
sea level force exerted is 101.325kpa
stp = ?
standard temp and pressure, 0 degrees at sea level which is 101.325 kPA
satp
standard amvirent temp and pressure, 25degrees at 100kpa
temperature is ..?
the measurement of kinetic movement
stp pressure values in all units
101.325 kPa = 760 Toor = 760 mm hg = 14.7 psi = 1 atm
where is the density of the atmospheric gas greatest at?
at sea level (and density of the air decreases as altitude increases)
what is live high train low
the density of air decreases as the altitude increases, therefore there is less oxygen (a lower density of oxygen)
21% of the air is still oxygen its just there is less air, body compensates for less oxygen by making more red blood cells to carry the oxygrn sround more
