it is the pressure relative to atmospheric pressure
gauge pressure
the _____________________ of the substance is the measure of the average kinetic energy possessed by thee molecules of the substance
temperature
different temperature scales
Celsius scale
Fahrenheit scale
Kelvin scale
Rankine scale
it is the sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure
absolute pressure
it is positive for pressure above atmospheric pressure and negative for pressure below it
gauge pressure
this can be thought of as the pressure at the base of a column of fluid (air) located at the point of measurement
atmospheric pressure
it is a U-shaped tube partially filled with a fluid of known density
manometer
