What is pressure?
The amount of force exerted on a surface
The surface area of an object
The weight of an object
Pascal (Pa)
Grams (g)
Milliliters (ml)
Meters (m)
pressure = force/mass
pressure = mass/volume
pressure = area/force
pressure = force/area
Pressure can be exerted by solids, liquids and gases.
TRUE
FALSE
This is an example of the everyday application of pressure in:
Solids
Liquids
Gases
Plasma
Army tank tracks are useful for travelling through the mud because..
they decrease the force the vehicle exerts on the ground
they increase the force the vehicle exerts on the ground
they decrease the pressure the vehicle exerts on the ground
they increase the pressure the vehicle exerts on the ground
Which of these animals would probably cause the greatest pressure on the ground? (Calf is a baby cow)
Pressure depends on depth
Where would pressure be the greatest
10 m deep in a lake at sea level
5 m deep in a pond on a mountain
top of a mountain 15,000 feet up
on a hill in Oklahoma City (1,200 ft. above sea level)
How do you Calculate Pressure
Force(N)/Area(m2)
Force(kg)/Area(mi2)
Area(m2)/Force(N)
Why won't you sink in mud if you wear boots?
Because the surface area is larger creating less pressure.
Has air in it to keep you floating.
Because the mud won't want you.
1 Pa = 1N/m2

greater
less
no
