PRESSURE IN LIQUID & GASSES Flashcards
What makes the balloon have its shape?
Air particles colliding with the balloon wall
What happens when we keep pumping air into the balloon?
The more air particles we blow into the balloon, the more collisions happen with the balloon wall and it expands more.
More collision = ?
Higher pressure
Lesser air particles = ?
Higher altitude
What pulls air particles toward the Earth?
Gravity
The air towards the Earth’s surface is ________
compressed
If the particles are closer together, then the pressure is _________
bigger
Lower number of air particles = ?
Lower number of collisions
The number of air particles remains the same, when the number of collisions inside the bag is greater than the outside, it ________
expands
Higher temperature = ?
Faster particles and greater number of collisions
What is upthrust produced by?
Water particles colliding with the surface of the boat
Deeper you go underwater =
Higher pressure
What does liquid pressure depend on?
The weight of the water above it
Is a solid compressible?
No
Is a liquid compressible?
No
