Gasses and Atmospheric Pressure

What is the unit of measurement for pressure?

• Newtons per meter squared

• Newton meter

• Newtons

• meters

What decreases as you go up in the atmosphere?

• Altitude
• Atmosphere
• Meteors
• Air Pressure

How do you Calculate Pressure

• Force(N)/Area(m²)

• Force(kg)/Area(mi²)

• Area(m²)/Force(N)

What is pressure?

• The amount of force exerted on a surface

• The surface area of an object

• The weight of an object

The reason gases can be compressed is because:

• The particles are very close together.

• The particles are merely vibrating.

• The particles are unable to move.

• The particles are very far apart.

What is the difference between particles in a gas and a solid?

• gas particles are closer together
• solid particles move faster than gas particles
• solid particles expand on heating
• gas particles have more kinetic energy than solid particles

The reason gases can be compressed is because:

• The particles are very close together.

• The particles are merely vibrating.

• The particles are unable to move.

• The particles are very far apart.

Gas pressure is caused by

• Gas molecules heating up

• Gas molecules reacting with other gas molecules

• Gas molecules hitting the walls of a container

• Gas molecules hitting other gas molecules
