Pressure

A. Pressure
B. Weight
C. Pascal
a) the force applied by an object or fluid divided by the area of surface over which it acts.
b) the force of Earth on an object due to its mass.
c) the unit of pressure, symbol Pa, equal to 1N/m².
- What is pressure?
- How to calculate pressure
- Long and Small pressure
 Pressure is measured in N/m² or N/cm².
 1 N/m² is the same as 1 Pa (Pascal) .
 A small force over a big area produces a small pressure.
 A big force over a small area produces a big pressure.

Pressure in gas

A. Gas pressure
B. Directly proportional
C. Inversely proportional
D. Atmospheric pressure
a) The force exerted by air particles when they collide whe 1 square metre (1m²) of a
surface.
b) A relationship in which one quantity increases in the same way as another,
c) A relationship in which one quantity decreases as the other increases.
d) The force on an area of the Earth’s surface due to the weight of air above it, or the
pressure in the atmosphere.
- Gas pressure
- What is the link between pressure and volume?
- Relationships (directly proportional and inversely proportional)
- Atmospheric pressure
 Gas pressure is caused by particles colliding with the walls of the container.
 If you compress a gas into a smaller volume, the pressure will be bigger.
