(b) When the student begins to dive under water their body will experience an increase due to the weight of the water above them. The total pressure, P, in Pa experienced by the student diver can be calculated using the formula:

Where pa in Pa is the pressure due to the atmosphere above the water (an average 1 x 105 Pa), ρ is the density of the water in kgm-3 and d in meters is the depth to which the diver has reached under water.

Water Density (Kgm-3)Fresh water 1,000Sea water 1,035

(i) Use the formula above and your understanding of Physics to explain why the total pressure experienced by a diver in sea water would be greater than the total pressure experienced by a diver at the same depth in fresh water.

Practice questions on Gas Laws and the Kinetic theory (From HSDU Higher Pupil Materials Pack)

1. Large tyres mean a larger surface area. This means for the same force (the weight of the tractor) there is less pressure on the ground.

2. 60 Pa

3. a) force per unit area

b) When air particles bump into objects they exert a force (F) on them. Since this force is generated over an area (A) this generates a pressure (P). P = F/A

16. 2.73 x106 Pa

17. 4.6 x104 Pa

18. a) T = 87 °C.

b) Friction between the tyre and road causes the tyre and gas inside to be heated up. As the gas is heated to a higher temperature the particles speed up and mean kinetic energy of the particles increases. This means that the air particle hit the insides of the tyre more often and with a greater force. Since the inside surface area of the tyre remains unchanged according to P = F/A the pressure inside the tyre must increase.

19. a) During a fire the air in the tank is heated. As the gas is heated to a higher temperature the particles speed up and mean kinetic energy of the particles increases. This means that the air particle hit the insides of the tank more often and with a greater force. Since the inside surface area of the tank remains unchanged according to P = F/A the pressure inside the tank must increase. When the pressure inside the tank reaches 10 atmospheres a large enough force is exerted by the gas on the safety valve to push open the safety valve and release particles of air from the tank reducing the pressure inside.

b) T = 477 °C.

20. a) see your teacher for the answer to this question

b) (i) the line of best fit does not pass through the origin (0,0)

(ii) temperature scale on the x-axis should be in Kelvin, the results would then show a straight line od best fit that passes through the origin

(iii) approx -300 °C

c) (i) As the temperature decreases the speed and resulting mean kinetic energy of the particles decreases. The particles then hit the sides of the container less often and with less force (F). If the surface area (A) of the container remains the same then due to P = F/A the pressure inside the container must decrease.

(ii) As the volume of a container increases the surface area (A) inside the container also increases. If the temperature is unchanged than the force (F) exerted by the particles when they collide with the sides of the container remains unchanged. Due to P = F/A the pressure inside the container must decrease.

(iii) the particles do not move at all, their speed is zero and their mean kinetic energy is zero.
