Pressure

Cards (8)

  • The SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa).
  • Pressure is the force applied per unit area.
  • More gas particles that hit the wall the pressure increases, so the pressure is greater at the wall than in the centre of the container
  • the things that effect the air pressure is the quantity and temperature
  • when the area of the container is smaller the pressure increases
  • when the area is larger it decreases the pressure of air
  • If the volume of the container is increased the pressure decreases
  • When the temperature increases the pressure increases as well
