Front

What is the formula for calculating pressure in relation to volume?

Back

Pressure (P) = Constant / Volume (V) for a given amount of gas.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a positive correlation?

Back

As one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a negative correlation?

Back

As one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

Front

How can you identify the greatest speed on a distance-time graph?

Back

By finding the steepest slope between two points on the graph.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a distance-time graph?

Back

The slope represents speed; a steeper slope indicates a higher speed.
