How does average energy in kinetic stores relate to temperature?

The higher the temperature, the higher the average energy

2
New cards

How does an increase in kinetic energy create pressure?

Gas particles move at high speeds they collide an exert a force (pressure)

3
New cards

What happens if temperature is constant?

If temperature is constant, increasing the volume of gas means the particles are more spread out and hit the walls of the container less often = gas pressure decreases

New cards

How is pressure and volume inversely proportional?

When volume goes up pressure goes down, when volume decreases the pressure increases
