with appropriate labels. ii. Determine the atmospheric air pressure, in bar. iii. Calculate the absolute pressure of the air in the vessel, in kPa. (Ans: 1 bar; 80 kPa) 2. A gas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston-cylinder device, as shown in Figure 1.1. The piston has a mass of 4 kg and cross sectional area of 35 cm2. A compressed spring above the piston exerts a force of 60 N on the piston. If the atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa, determine the absolute pressure

What Makes Air Go In and Out? Objective: | to describe what makes air go in and out of the lungs | Student Information: | Your lungs do not have muscles. You breathe by changing the size of your chest. The air around you has pressure. It is pushing in on you all of the time. When you make your chest bigger, air comes into your body and fills up your lungs. To breathe out, you make your chest smaller. This pushes the air back out. | Materials: | 16 or 20 oz. plastic bottle a small

Describe and Explain what rejuvenation is and the effect rejuvenation has on the river. Rejuvenation is when a river has to readjust itself and the land around it, usually by increasing the amount of vertical erosion it carries out to a change in the base level. It is caused by various factors, including river capture, isostatic sea level change and eustatic sea level change. Due to it changing its processes, a river undergoing rejuvenation creates many new landforms. A river is said to be rejuvenated when

of abiotic components that determine the long-term weather pattern in a particular area. In this experiment, the researchers investigated key climatic factors, namely: temperature, light intensity, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric pressure, precipitation and rate of evaporation. The study sites of the investigators are located at the College of Medicine, Pedro Gil St., University of the Philippines Manila and were collected last November 19, 2010. The ecological significance

- Background Information: Boyle’s Law has a relationship where for a fixed mass of gas, at a constant temperature, the product is a constant, (pressure x volume). If Volume increases, pressure has to decrease to keep it constant. The formula of Boyle’s Law used is P1xV1=P2xV2. When the volume of a container containing gas is bigger the pressure of the gas particles is less because there is more space for the particles to move in. Otherwise, the smaller the volume in the container the pressure is
