velocity.
Gas is defined as? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A phase of matter
Solid is defined as? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A liquid that is at its freezing point.
Plasma is defined as? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Atoms or molecules that have become ionized.
Liquid is defined as? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A solid that is at its melting point
In the gas phase, the atoms or molecules basically move? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Randomly
Liquids change to a gas at? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Their respective boiling points! Think about
water turning to steam when it boils
When applying pressure to a fluid, the pressure is exerted? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅In all
directions equally. (pascal's law)
Hydraulics is a branch of science and engineering concerned with the mechanical properties of? -
CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Liquids! Pneumatic refers to gas fyi
,A mechanical gauge is used when measuring gas pressure in a sealed container. For all common
pressure gauges, the pressure indicated on the gauge is? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Less than the
absolute pressure (Gauges (and gauge pressures) ignore the ambient (barometric) pressure around us.
Absolute pressure can be defined as? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The amount of pressure within the
sealed vessel + the amount of pressure outside the sealed vessel.
Gauge pressure? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The amount of pressure within the sealed vessel only
Ambient pressure? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The amount of pressure outside of the sealed vessel
only.
Absolute pressure can be defined as? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Gauge pressure + atmospheric
pressure, Total pressure, True pressure
1 Atm worth of pressure? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅760 mmHg, 14.7 PSI, 33 FSW
Barometric pressure in Denver, CO (elevation 5000 ft) is less than barometric pressure at sea level true
or false? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅True
To Convert from ATA to mmHg - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Multiply by 760
To Convert from ATA to FSW - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Subtract 1, then multiply by 33
To convert from ATA to PSI - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Subtract 1, then multiply by 14.7
To convert from FSW to ATA - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Divide by 33, then add 1
To convert from FSW to ATA - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Add 33, then divide by 33
, To convert from PSI to ATA - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Divide by 14.7, then add 1
To convert from PSI to ATA - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Add 14.7, then divide by 14.7
To convert from mmHg to ATA - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Divide by 760
To convert from PSIG to PSIA - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Add 14.7, PSIG means "pound per square
inch gauge". PSIA means pounds per square ince absolute.
Boyle's law is about the? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Pressure-volume relationship. Boyle's law says
that with temperature constant, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.
According to Boyle's Law, (assuming the temperature remains constant) when the pressure increases,
the volume? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Decreases proportionally
When applying Boyle's law to the human body, we worry about air-filled spaces being shrunk ( or
squeezed) when pressure around the body increases. This is known as? - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅✅Barotrauma
Boyle's law equation? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅P1 x V1=P2 xV2
Charles law is about the? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Temperature-volume relationship, With
pressure constant, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature.
According to Charles' law, the volume in a flexible container, like a balloon, will _____ when the
temperature increases. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Increase proportionally.
