Question 1

what is Boyle’s Law

Answer 1

at a constant temperature, the pressure of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume - if you add more air in a container the pressure will increase, if you decrease the volume of the container the pressure will increase

Question 2

if two spaces are connected air flows from where to where?

Answer 2

from the area of higher pressure to the area of lower pressure until they are equal

Question 3

what is the default airflow in speech?

Answer 3

pulmonary egressive airflow aka breathing out

Question 4

what are the three types of airflow?

Answer 4

laminar, turbulent, pulsing

Question 5

what is laminar airflow?

Answer 5

all the air molecules are flowing in roughly the same direction at roughly the same velocity - quiet, calm

Question 6

what is turbulent airflow?

Answer 6

due to the narrow passageway the air molecules move at different velocities in different directions - noisy, disorganized

Question 7

what is pulsing airflow?

Answer 7

periodic alternation between a high and low rate of airflow - the vocal tract rapidly alternates between open and shut for example blowing a raspberry

Question 8

what is the Bernoulli’s effect?

Answer 8

as the rate of airflow is increased, pressure perpendicular to the direction of flow is reduced - blowing a piece of paper

Question 9

which words in English have a main stressed syllable?

Answer 9

lexical words (nouns, adjectives, verbs)

Question 10

which words in English only have stress if they are being emphasized?`
