Ace Quiz Bowl Scientific Laws

Bernoulli's Principle

The pressure of a fluid decreases as its velocity increases

Boyle's Law

The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if temperature is constant

Charles' Law

The volume of a gas is directly proportional to temperature if pressure is constant

Coulomb's Law

The force between electric charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance and directly proportional to the product of their charges

Graham's Law

The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass

Henry's Law

The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas

Raoult's Law

When a substance is dissolved in a solvent, the solution formed will have a lower freezing point, higher boiling point, and less vapor pressure than the pure solvent

Snell's Law

The ratio of the sine of an angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant

Dalton's Law

The total pressure of a gas mixture equals the sum of the partial pressures of the components

Hess's Law

The amount of energy generated from a chemical reaction is the same whether the reaction happens in one step or several steps

Hooke's Law

The extension of a spring is proportional to the load placed on it, or stress is directly proportional to strain

Hubble's Law

Galaxies recede from each other with a velocity proportional to their distance

Ohm's Law

Electric current equals the potential difference across the conductor divided by resistance (I=v/R)
