Density Flashcards
What equation links density, pressure, depth, and gravity
p = special p x g x h Pressure difference (Pa) = density (kg/m(cb)) x gravity (N/kg) x height (m)
Equation for pressure force and area
Pressure = force/area
P = f/a
(N/m[sq] or N/cm[sq]) = N/cm(sq) or m (sq)
Units for density
G/ cm (cb) or kg/m (cb)
How do particles move in a gas
- collide with one another and the walls
- regularly change speed and direction
- motion appears random
In water pressure increases with…
Depth and density
Pressure acts in all ..
Directions
Pressure on submerged object always acts … To its surface
Perpendicularly
Units for pressure
Pascal
The pressure at a given depth is … And does not depend on the … Of the vessel
Constant
Shape
Equation linking density mass and volume
Density (spesh p) = mass(m)/volume (v)
G/kg /m(cb) = g/kg /cm/m(cb)
Volume of a sphere
4/3 (pi) r(cb)
The larger the area of an object touching the ground the …
Smaller the pressure is exerted and the less it is concentrated
How to calculate the amount of force you exert on the ground
Force = your mass x 10
The pressure in a fluid not only depends on the gravitational field strength but also the
Density and depth of the fluid
