Pressure
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Pressure | the amount of force acting per given area |
| calculation for pressure | P=F/A (F over A) |
| The same force spread over a larger area means _______ pressure | less |
| more force spread over the same area means ______ pressure | more |
| ________ can be compressed and expanded quite easily | Gasses |
| liquids and solids are _______________ | incompressible |
| incompressible | connot be compressed by normal means |
| Force is measured in ________ | newtons (N) |
| area is measured in: | m2 (meters squared - 2 must be small) |

| 1Pa = | 1N/m2 |
| Kilopascals | kPa |
| 1kPa = _______Pa | 1000Pa |
