what is the unit for degrees celsius ?
°C
what is the unit for degrees kelvin ?
K
what is the unit for force ?
N
what is the unit for mass ?
kg
what is the unit for density ?
kg/m³
what is the unit for pressure ?
Pa
what is the word equation for density ?
density = mass ÷ area
what is the symbol equation for density ?
ρ = m ÷ v
what is the word equation for volume of cuboids ?
volume = width x length x height
what is the symbol equation for volume of cuboids ?
v = w x l x h
what is the word equation for static pressure ?
pressure = force ÷ area
what is the symbol equation for static pressure ?
p = F ÷ A
where does pressure act in a gas or liquid ?
in all directions
what is the word equation to determine the pressure difference at different depths in liquids ?
pressure = height x density x gravitational field strength
what is the symbol equation to determine the pressure difference at different depths in liquids ?
p = h x ρ x g
what happens when a gas collides with the walls of their container ?
they exert a force
because gases exert a force on the walls of their container that else do they exert because of pressure = force ÷ area
they exert pressure
if the temperature of a gas increases what happens to the kinetic energy/ speed of the particles ?
the kinetic energy increases and the speed of particles increase as well
what is the temperature in degrees equivalent to absolute zero ?
-273°C
how do you convert between °C and K ?
add 273°C to the given number to go into Kelvin and minus 273°C to go into celsius
what temperature in Kelvin equivalent to absolute zero ?
0°K
at absolute zero what happens to the particles ?
they stop moving
when absolute zero occurs there is no more…… because the particles stop colliding with the walls of the container ?
pressure
for a fixed volume if the temperature increases then so does the pressure, what are the two reasons for this ?
- increased speed of collision with the walls of the container, which means increased force
- increased rate/ frequency of collision with walls of container
