the tube. Its height adjusts according to the air pressure on the reservoir. The column of mercury is shorter on a mountaintop as there is less atmosphere to exert a force on the mercury reservoir. On a mountaintop‚ the air pressure is less‚ so the height of mercury it balances in the barometer is shorter than at sea level where there is more air pressure. The pressure of mercury is its weight (force) per unit area. The weight‚ and thus the pressure‚ of the mercury column is directly proportional to

The mathematical expression for Boyles Law is: V=K(1/P) or PV=K (Constant T and n) Where‚ P and V are the pressure and volume of the gas sample respectively. K is a constant and dependent of the temperature (T) and the amount of gas (n‚ moles). The Graph below successfully indicates Boyle’s Law visually: A: Volume Verses Pressure B: Volume Verses 1/P Part

September 16‚ 2010 Parental Pressure on Teens In the movie‚ American Teen‚ there were many types of parental pressures shown on teens entering college. This is a negative trait because more often than not‚ this leads the teen in the wrong direction or results in the teen making poor decisions. According to the PewResearchCenter‚ only nine percent of college students think that they need more parental pressure. In life‚ emotional‚ traditional and financial pressure will have a negative impact on

test is performed to determine the magnitude and rate of volumes decrease that laterally confined soil specimen undergoes when subjected to different vertical pressures. From the measured data‚ the consolidation curve can be plotted. This data is useful in determining the compression index‚ the recompression index and the preconsolidation pressure of the soil. In addition‚ the data obtained can also be used to determine the coefficient of consolidation and the coefficient of secondary compression of

volume of the football starts to decrease. Boyle’s Law describes how the pressure of the gas tends to decrease as the volume of a gas increases. As the pressure decreases‚ the volume of the gas increases. The bubbles exhaled by the fish grow as it approaches the surface of the ocean. When the fish is exhaling out the air‚ the bubbles tend to become bigger and bigger. As the bubbles start to approach the sea surface‚ less pressure will be put on the bubbles‚ so the volume of the bubbles start to increase
