The Plan… 24 May 2013 Introduce section 8.2 Pressure Worksheets – these are homework… Activity 8.5 “Balloon Lift” Activity 8.6 “Balloon Pressure” You will do these in a group – I’ll explain later CYU P 289 #1-6 Take it out and I will check it off, ask any questions then… Title Pages are due NOW! (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 * (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 8.2 Pressure Pressure is the amount of force applied over a given area on an object. When pressure is applied to matter, compression can result. Compression is a decrease in volume produced by a force. See page 290 The tennis racket applies a force to the ball. The resulting pressure causes the ball to compress. * (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 Gases Are Compressible A gas can easily be compressed because there is a large amount of space between its particles. Gas that is trapped in a container and heated will increase in pressure. Heat causes the particles to move faster. These fast moving particles bounce off the sides of the container. The increased pressure could cause the container to explode. Gas that is trapped in a container and cooled will decrease in pressure. The decreased pressure could cause the container to implode. See page 291 - 292 This metal can has imploded as the gas inside is cooled. * (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 Liquids and Solids Are Very Difficult to Compress The particles of liquids and solids are already so tightly packed together that squeezing them together is almost impossible. Solids and liquids are described as incompressible. See page 293 A bottle filled with gas When force is applied to the bottle, the gas particles move closer together. The gas is compressed into a smaller volume. A bottle filled with liquid When force is applied to the bottle, the liquid does not compress. There is no room for the liquid particles to move closer together * (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 Compression and Deformation See pages 293 - 294 Solids can appear to be compressed if the “air pockets” in the
