Vocabulary #3
Pressure.. A measure of how much force is acting on a certain area. How concentrated the force is. Pressure is force divided by area.
Pascal.. The unit used to measure pressure. One
pascal
is the pressure exerted by one newton of force on an area of one square meter.Slide2
1-10
Pressure depends on force and areaSlide3
PRESSURE DESCRIBES HOW A FORCE IS SPREAD OVER AN AREA
Pressure..a measure of how much force is acting on a certain area.
How concentrated a force is.. Slide4
One way to increase pressure is to increase force.
The unit for pressure is the
pascal
.Slide5
Pressure acts in all directions
Fluids are made of loosely connected particles that are too small to see.
They are in constant , rapid motion.
There motion is random, which means they can move in
any direction. Slide6
Pressure in fluids depends on depth.
The pressure that a fluid exerts depends on the density and the depth of the fluid.
Pressure in air
Pressure in water
