EDEXCEL IGCSE PHYSICS 5-1 Density and Pressure Edexcel IGCSE Physics pages 162 to 168 December 4 th 2010 All content applies for Triple & Double Science THIS POWERPOINT IS NOT DUE FOR COMPLETION UNTIL JULY 2012
Edexcel IGCSE Specification Section 5: Solids, liquids and gases b) Density and pressure recall and use the relationship: density = mass / volume ρ = m / V describe how to determine density using direct measurements of mass and volume recall and use the relationship: pressure = force / area p = F / A understand that the pressure at a point in a gas or liquid which is at rest acts equally in all directions recall and use the relationship: pressure difference = height × density × g p = h × ρ × g
Density (ρ) density = mass volume ρ = m / V unit = kg m -3 Note: 1 g cm -3 is the same as 1000 kg m -3
