Practical Physics Flashcards
What is the formula for density?
density = mass ÷ volume. D=M/V
what unit is density measured in?
kg/m³
What does Boyle’s law state?
the greater the pressure, the lower the volume
What is the formula for pressure?
pressure = force ÷ area. P=F/A
What does Charles’ law state?
The volume of a gas varies directly with the absolute temperature at a constant pressure
What is the formula for Charles’ law?
V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂
What is the formula for moment?
moment = force x distance. M=FxD
What is moment?
turning effect
What is the principle of moment?
sum of clockwise action = sum of anticlockwise moment
how would you find the density of an irregular object
by using a Eureka can to find the volume. Measure the mass and divide it by the volume.
what is the formula for Boyle’s law
P1 x V1 = P2 x V2
