A scientist wanted to test the relationship between pressure, force, and area to confirm that pressure equals force/area. He discovered that if the area was increased during the experiment, the pressure decreased. Assume that many trials were conducted and the force was kept constant. Based on the experiment, what relationship exists between area and pressure?
Students used a potato gun to illustrate one of the gas laws. As they decreased the volume of the air in between two pieces of potato, the pressure exerted by the gas increased. This increase in pressure eventually forces the potato out of a tube.
In a physics experiment, students collected a sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure. The volume of the gas is doubled at constant temperature with no gas leaks. Is there a change in pressure?

Answer 1

Experiment 1: As area increases, pressure decreases.
Experiment 2: As volume decreases, pressure increases.
Experiment 3: No change in pressure when volume is doubled at constant temperature.
