Physics Y9 Density and Pressure EoT test Flashcards
what is density
a measure of the mass of an object per unit volume of that object
calculate density
mass/volume
how should you put physics answers
Formula, Numbers, Answer, Unit
calculate mass
density*volume
calculate volume
mass/density
what are the main units of mass
gcm⁻³ and kgm⁻³
what can you use to measure density of an irregular object
eureka can
calculate pressure (2 ways)
heightdensitygravity and force/area
what is the gravity of earth
9.8Nkg⁻¹
what do Pascal’s vases show
the width and the volume of the medium has no effect, but only the height makes a difference to pressure
what is the unit for pressure
Pascals(Pa)
how precise should physics answers be
as precise as the least precise number
calculate force
pressure*area
what is the unit for force
Neutons(N)
what happens to an object in fluid if weight = upthrust
it floats
