P11 - Pressure Flashcards
What is the equation for pressure at the surface of a liquid
Pressure = Force / Area
What is the unit for pressure?
Pascals (Pa)
Or
N/m*2
What is the equation for weight?
Weight = Mass x gravity
What is the unit for Weight?
Newtons (N)
What is the unit for gravity?
N/kg
How do you calculate the VOLUME of a liquid?
Area x height
How do you calculate the MASS of a liquid?
Volume x Density
How do you calculate the WEIGHT of a liquid?
Mass x Gravity
What is the equation for pressure at a certain depth in Liquids?
Pressure = Density x Gravity x height
What is density a measure of?
How close together the particles in a substance are
Why is pressure higher in a dense liquid?
More particles in space that are able to collide
What does it mean if an object floats?
The upthrust on an object is equal to the objects wieght
What does it mean if an object sinks?
