5 Questions
What happens when you apply force to a spring according to Hooke's Law?
The force stretches the spring
What is the relationship between volume and pressure of a gas according to Boyle's Law?
The volume of a gas decreases as the pressure increases
What is the magnitude of the buoyant force acting on an object submerged in a fluid according to Archimedes' principle?
Equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
What happens to a pressure change in a fluid in a closed container according to Pascal's Principle?
The pressure change is transmitted to every portion of the fluid
What is common to all three of Hooke's Law, Boyle's Law, and Archimedes' principle?
They are all physical laws that describe various physical phenomena
Study Notes
Laws of Physics
- Hooke's Law: applying force to a spring results in stretching the spring
- Boyle's Law: the volume of a gas varies inversely with the pressure, given a constant temperature
- Archimedes' Principle: a submerged object in a fluid (gas or liquid) experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid
Pressure and Fluids
- Pascal's Principle: a pressure change in one part of a closed container is transmitted evenly to every part of the fluid and the container walls
