9L PRESSURE AND MOMENTS
P RESSURE What is the equation for calculating pressure? Name 2 ways that pressure can be increased. What are the units of pressure?
O NE OF THE SHARPEST KNIVES IN THE WORLD
C ALCULATING PRESSURE Pressure (N/cm 2 ) =Force (N) Area (cm 2 )
A IM : T O INVESTIGATE HOW THE PRESSURE I EXERT ON THE GROUND CHANGES. Body part/shoe Area (cm 2 )Force (N)Pressure (N/cm 2 ) 1 foot 2 feet 1 hand 2 hands
C ALCULATING PRESSURE Pressure (N/cm 2 ) = Force (N) b Area (cm 2 ) e.g. Pressure= force ÷ area = 700 ÷ 20 = 35 N/cm 2 ALWAYS 1.Formula 2.Add numbers 3.Answer 4.Units
W ATER PRESSURE What is water pressure? Which direction does it act in? How does it change with depth?
S CUBA DIVING EXPERIMENTS Polystyrene cup coffee-cup-2300-meters-depth-ocean Mythbusters
A IR PRESSURE What is air pressure? How does it change with altitude? How can you increase air pressure?
D EMOS
MOMENTS What is a moment? Complete this formula: Moment ( ) = What unit is a moment measured in?
WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?
B ALANCING LeftRight Distance from fulcrum (m) Mass (g)Weight (N) Moment (Nm) Distance from fulcrum (m) Mass (g)Weight (N) Moment (Nm)
C ONVERTING MASS TO WEIGHT Mass (kg) = mass (g) ÷ 1000 Weight (N) = mass (kg) ÷ 10
C ALCULATING THE MOMENT Moment (Nm) = Force (N) x distance (m) ALWAYS 1.Formula 2.Add numbers 3.Answer 4.Units
LEVERS What is a lever? Name 5 examples of where we use levers.
L ETS LOOK AT A BIKE AND SOME TOOLS
PLENARY Find the lever and fulcrum
