9A Summary Sheets

Inheritance and selection

Inherited variation

The features of organisms are called their characteristics (e.g. blue eyes). Offspring normally share some characteristics with their parents and brothers and/or sisters. Offspring can inherit characteristics from their parents. Characteristics can be different and this is known as variation (e.g. brown eyes and blue eyes). Variation occurs in both plants and animals.

[pic]

An organism’s characteristics are controlled by genetic information which is found inside the nucleus of almost all of its cells. Genetic information is passed from parents to offspring during reproduction. In sexual reproduction, a male sex cell or gamete (e.g. a sperm cell) and a female gamete (e.g. an egg cell) fuse. This fusing (joining together) produces a fertilised egg cell which grows into the new organism. Each gamete contains half the amount of genetic information that a normal body cell has. So the fertilised egg cell gets half its genetic information from the male and half from the female.

In many animals, when two egg cells are each fertilised by a sperm cell, non-identical twins are born. Sometimes a fertilised egg cell splits into two and identical twins form.

Species, breeds and varieties

|A species is a group of organisms that are able to produce offspring that are also able|[pic] |

|to reproduce. Members of the same species have very similar characteristics but there |All tigers have stripes but there is variation in the |

|is some variation in these characteristics. |stripes between each tiger. |

| | |

|A group of animals may have special differences in their inherited characteristics from| |

|the rest of their species. A group like this is called breed (e.g. different breeds of | |

|dog). There are also breeds of plants and these are called varieties. | |

Selective breeding

Farmers and plant breeders may choose or ‘select’ an animal or plant with certain characteristics (e.g. good milk production in cows). This animal or plant is then used to breed from. The offspring that have the best of these characteristics are then bred from again. This is called selective breeding and is how many new breeds and varieties are created. Sometimes two different breeds or varieties are bred together to produce offspring with characteristics from both breeds or varieties. This is called cross-breeding.

Plant breeding

In nature, pollen grains (the male gametes) are carried by the wind or insects to the stigma of another flower. This is called pollination. Plant breeders transfer the pollen that they want to the stigma that they choose, sometimes using a paintbrush.

A pollen grain grows a tube down through the style until it meets an ovule. It grows into the ovule and meets an egg cell. The nucleus from the pollen grain goes into the egg cell and fuses with the egg cell nucleus. This is fertilisation.

[pic]

Many of the characteristics that plant breeders choose are visible (e.g. fruit size, yield) but some are not visible (e.g. disease resistance).

Variation caused by the environment

Some characteristics vary due to an organism’s surroundings (environment). For example, plants growing in different areas of a field may be different heights depending on the amount of light, water and mineral salts that they get. These things are all physical environmental factors.

Fit and healthy

Being fit means that your body can cope with the activities that you need to do. To stay fit you should eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, avoid smoking and avoid alcohol and drug abuse. If you follow these rules your heart will stay healthy and you will be less likely to suffer from high blood pressure and other circulatory problems like heart disease (when heart muscle cells start to die).

During exercise muscle cells need more energy. This is obtained from a sugar called glucose by the process of aerobic respiration. This is the word equation:

oxygen + glucose → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)

There are several organ systems involved to allow respiration to occur in muscle cells.

• The respiratory (or breathing) system supplies the oxygen and removes the carbon dioxide.

• The digestive system provides the glucose.

• The circulatory system carries the glucose and oxygen to the muscle cells, and carries the carbon dioxide away to the lungs.

When you exercise your breathing rate (number of breaths in one minute) and your pulse rate (number of times your heart beats in one minute) increase. This is because your cells need more oxygen and glucose for respiration.

Breathing is carried out by two sets of muscles, the diaphragm and the rib muscles (found between the ribs). These change the volume of the chest. Breathing ventilates (moves air into and out of) the lungs.

|[pic] |[pic] |

|Breathing in (inhalation). |Breathing out (exhalation). |

|• Diaphragm contracts and moves downwards. |• Diaphragm relaxes and moves upwards. |

|• Rib muscles contract and lift ribs up and outwards. |• Rib muscles relax and move ribs down and inwards. |

|• The volume of the chest increases. |• The volume of the chest decreases. |

|• Air flows into the lungs. |• Air flows out of the lungs. |

Drugs are chemicals that affect how the body works. Cigarettes contain a drug called nicotine which is addictive (you feel that you cannot do without it). The chemicals in cigarette smoke can cause diseases.

|Poison in cigarette smoke |Harm it causes |

|nicotine |Makes arteries narrower, causes heart disease. |

|tar |Clogs up the lungs and stops the cilia working, causes cancer and bronchitis. |

|carbon monoxide |Stops red blood cells carrying so much oxygen. |

Medicines are drugs that can help people who are suffering from diseases, e.g. antibiotics. Recreational drugs are legal drugs that people take because they like the effect that they have on their body, e.g. caffeine in coffee and alcohol. Illegal drugs include heroin and Ecstasy.

Drugs that slow down the nervous system are called depressants. Alcohol is a depressant. It alters behaviour and slows reaction time. Drugs that speed up the nervous system are called stimulants, e.g. caffeine. Misuse of any drug can be harmful especially to the liver.

A balanced diet is essential to health. It is made up of the correct amounts of the following seven food substances: carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, water and fibre.

A shortage of a particular substance can cause a specific deficiency disease.

Eating too much of a particular substance can also cause problems. Too much fat can cause obesity and heart disease.

Muscles move bones at joints. Muscles cannot push and so joints need pairs of muscles (antagonistic pairs) to pull in opposite directions. One muscle contracts and gets shorter and fatter, to pull a bone. At the same time the other muscle in the pair relaxes and gets longer and thinner.

|Exercise strengthens bones and muscles. Too much exercise |[pic] |

|can damage muscles and joints. |The elbow joint. |

Plants and photosynthesis

Photosynthesis

This is a chemical reaction and so can be written as a word equation:

water + carbon dioxide (+ light energy) ⎯⎯⎯⎯→ glucose + oxygen

[pic] [pic]

reactants (light is not a substance products

and so is not a reactant)

Light energy and chlorophyll are needed for photosynthesis to happen. The light energy is changed into chemical energy which is stored in the glucose that is made.

|Getting the water |[pic] |

|Water is taken out of the soil by the roots. Roots are | |

|branched and spread out to help them absorb water from a | |

|large volume of soil. They also have root hair cells which | |

|are adapted to their function – they have a large surface | |

|area to help them absorb water quickly. The water flows up | |

|xylem tubes (made of hollow cells) to the leaf. | |

Water is also needed because mineral salts are dissolved in it, which are needed to keep plants healthy. Water also stops plants wilting and can keep their leaves cool.

|Getting the carbon dioxide |[pic] |

|Air, containing carbon dioxide, diffuses into leaves | |

|through small holes called stomata. Leaves are thin | |

|so that the carbon dioxide does not need to go very | |

Getting the light

Many leaves are wide so that they have a big surface area to trap as much sunlight as possible. Most photosynthesis happens in the palisade cells which are found near the upper surface of leaves. Palisade cells are packed with chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which absorbs light energy. Photosynthesis can often be speeded up by increasing the amount of light.

Respiration

Plant cells release the energy stored in glucose using aerobic respiration (another

chemical reaction):

glucose + oxygen ⎯→ carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)

All living cells need energy and so all living cells respire. Respiration happens all the time but photosynthesis can only happen when there is light.

Uses of glucose

Glucose is a type of sugar. It is used for three things:

• respiration

• making other substances that act as stores of energy (eg starch)

• making new materials for growth.

Glucose is turned into cellulose (for cell walls), fats and proteins. To make proteins, mineral salts called nitrates are needed.

New substances made by a plant are carried around the plant in phloem tubes. New substances help to build up a plant’s biomass (the mass of all the materials in the plant except water).

9D Summary Sheets

Plants as food

When green plants carry out photosynthesis they use carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Some of the glucose is used by the plants to release energy through respiration. Plants can also convert glucose into starch to act as a store of energy. Humans can eat these stores of starch to gain energy. Plants also use glucose to make other substances such as protein and cellulose. Human food chains are short so that more of the energy originally stored by plants is available as food.

Improving plant growth

When growing crop plants for food, farmers want to produce the largest amount of useful material (yield) possible. They use fertilisers to add important mineral salts to the soil so that the crops have a constant supply of these important nutrients. This is necessary because the plants are removed from the soil taking the mineral salts with them. The crop plants do not decompose in the field, which would allow the mineral salts to get back into the soil. Farmers can use manufactured or natural, organic fertilisers to improve the quality of the soil.

| | |[pic] |

|Manufactured fertiliser. | |Manure is an organic fertiliser. |

A problem can arise when other plants start growing in the fields as well as the crops. These are called weeds and compete with the crop plants for the resources needed for healthy growth. Weeds reduce the growth of crops so farmers use chemicals called weedkillers or herbicides to remove them from fields. Some weedkillers are selective, and only kill weeds, not crops.

Pests and pesticides

Animals which eat crops to gain the stored energy are called pests. Farmers use chemicals called pesticides to kill them. One problem with using pesticides is that they might kill harmless wild animals as well or disrupt food webs in the environment. Specific pesticides can be used that are only harmful to particular types of pests. Another problem with pesticides is that the poison can build up in food chains and have unexpected and unwanted effects on larger predators. Modern farming techniques now often take into account the possible harmful effects on the surrounding environment.

Controlling environments to increase crop yields

The growth of crops in open fields is often affected by changes in the weather or season. Sometimes crops are grown in carefully controlled conditions inside greenhouses. Here the plants can be provided with the optimum temperature, light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and supply of water and mineral salts to ensure the best possible growth despite the changing conditions outside.

Reactions of metals and metal compounds

The properties of a substance are the words that we use to describe it, or measurements that we can make on it. Metals and non-metals have different properties.

|Metals … |Non-metals … |

|are good conductors of heat and electricity |are poor conductors of heat and electricity (except for carbon in the form|

| |of graphite which conducts electricity) |

|are shiny |are dull |

|are solids, often with high melting points (except for mercury) |are mostly solids or gases |

Metals and acids

Many metals react with acids. Some unreactive metals will only react very slowly with strong acids, some will not react at all. Some metals are more reactive and explode when added to acid.

When a metal reacts with an acid, hydrogen gas is given off. The reaction also produces a compound called a salt.

There are three main types of salt:

Chlorides are made when hydrochloric acid is used.

Sulphates are made when sulphuric acid is used.

Nitrates are made when nitric acid is used.

The general equation is:

acid + metal → salt + hydrogen

For example:

hydrochloric acid + zinc → zinc chloride + hydrogen

We can test for hydrogen by putting a burning splint into a test tube of gas. If hydrogen is present, it will explode with a squeaky ‘pop’.

Bases

Bases are compounds which react with acids. All metal oxides, metal hydroxides and metal carbonates are bases. Bases which dissolve in water are called alkalis (e.g. sodium hydroxide).

Metal oxides and hydroxides and acids

A metal oxide or a metal hydroxide reacts with an acid to form water and a salt. This reaction is called neutralisation.

The general equation is:

acid + metal oxide → salt + water

(or hydroxide)

For example:

hydrochloric acid + potassium hydroxide → potassium chloride + water

sulphuric acid + copper oxide → copper sulphate + water

We can check to see if neutralisation has occurred using universal indicator. The pH of the solution gets closer to neutral (pH7).

Metal carbonates and acids

A metal carbonate will also neutralise an acid. This time the products are a salt, carbon dioxide and water.

The general equation is:

acid + metal carbonate → salt + carbon dioxide + water

For example:

sulphuric acid + copper carbonate → copper sulphate + carbon dioxide + water

We can test for carbon dioxide using limewater. Limewater goes milky if carbon dioxide is bubbled through it.

Some rocks, like limestone, contain calcium carbonate. The rock fizzes when an acid is added and some of the rock is worn away. The rock is weathered.

9F Summary Sheets

Patterns of reactivity

Metals may react with substances around them in the environment such as air,

water and acids.

Some metals react very easily or quickly. They are reactive. Other metals do not react very easily and are described as unreactive. The most reactive metals are found on the left-hand side of the Periodic Table. Less reactive metals are found in the centre of the Periodic Table.

Some gases are more reactive than others. In the air, oxygen is the most reactive gas. Nitrogen is not very reactive. When metals react with the oxygen in the air they form oxides.

metal + oxygen → metal oxide

The metals that react quickly with air also tend to react with water. When metals react with water they form hydrogen gas and a metal hydroxide.

metal + water → metal hydroxide + hydrogen

The metals that react with water also react very quickly with acids. Some metals that don’t react with water do react with acids. When metals react with acids, they produce hydrogen and a salt.

metal + acid → salt + hydrogen

The name of the salt formed depends on the name of the acid:

• sulphuric acid makes sulphates

• nitric acid makes nitrates

• hydrochloric acid makes chlorides.

Reactivity Series

Metals can be arranged in a Reactivity Series. The most reactive metals are placed at the top of the table.

More reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their compounds. In a displacement reaction, the more reactive metal will form a compound, and the less reactive metal is left on its own as the pure element.

For example, iron is more reactive than copper, so it will displace copper from a compound.

iron + copper chloride → iron chloride + copper

Zinc is more reactive than iron, so iron will not displace zinc from a compound.

iron + zinc chloride → no reaction

You can use displacement reactions to work out the position of a metal in the Reactivity Series. For instance, zinc will displace lead from a compound, so we know that zinc is more reactive than lead.

The Reactivity Series can also be used to predict whether reactions will occur.

The reactivity of metals can be linked to their uses. Metals used for construction need to have a low reactivity, otherwise they will corrode away. Some metals, such as aluminium, have a natural protective oxide layer. Others, such as iron, have to be protected from corrosion, e.g. by painting.

Many low reactivity metals have been known for hundreds or thousands of years. They can be extracted by heating their compounds in a fire.

More reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis. This means that they have

only been discovered in the last two hundred years, since the invention of the

electric battery.

Environmental chemistry

Types of soil

Soil is a mixture of:

• broken up bits of rock (including sand and/or clay)

• humus (the decaying remains of plants and animals)

• air, water and dissolved chemicals

• plants and animals.

Different soils will contain different chemicals and can be acidic, alkaline or neutral. Universal indicator can be used to test the pH of soil.

Farmers and gardeners need to know the pH of their soil so their plants will grow well. Acids can cancel out alkalis. This is called neutralisation. If a soil is too acidic then lime, an alkali, is added to neutralise the acid.

Rocks and building materials

Different rocks are formed in different ways. Many rocks are used as building materials. Both natural rocks and those used as building materials wear away over time. This is called weathering and can occur in different ways:

• The rain and wind slowly break up the rocks (physical weathering).

• Changes in temperature cause cracks in the rock (physical weathering).

• Acids, and other chemicals in rain or soil, damage rocks (chemical weathering).

• Plants and animals damage rocks (biological weathering).

The sand and clay that make up the soil are produced by weathering and erosion.

Acid rain

The air contains small amounts of the following gases:

• carbon dioxide, produced by combustion of fuels and respiration

• sulphur dioxide, formed when sulphur burns in volcanoes

• nitrogen oxides, produced during lightening storms.

These gases dissolve in water to form acids, so rainwater is naturally acidic (pH between 5.6 and 5.9).

Our rainwater has become even more acidic (pH between 3 and 5.5) due to air pollution from burning fossil fuels. This is what we call acid rain. The main sources of this pollution are power stations and cars.

Both burn large amounts of fossil fuels and release more carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are the main contributors to acid rain.

Problems caused by acid rain

Acid rain causes damage to our environment in several ways:

• Metals and carbonate rocks (like limestone and marble) react faster with acid rain than with normal rainwater.

• Plants and water life are damaged and killed by acid rain.

Pollution has been reduced by several actions:

• reducing the sulphur content in diesel and petrol so less sulphur dioxide is produced by combustion

• fitting catalytic converters in car exhausts, which change harmful gases into harmless gases

• spraying the gases from power station chimneys with an alkaline mixture to remove sulphur dioxide.

Measuring air pollution

A network of air quality monitoring stations provides us with information on levels of air pollution. A range of pollutants is measured, including rainwater pH. The data collected tells us that our air quality is improving but there are still serious problems.

| |[pic] |

Using less energy would help reduce pollution as we would burn less fossil fuels.

Global warming

There has been a small, but steady increase in mean world temperatures in the last 100 years.

These rising temperatures have been linked to increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide and other gases trap the Sun’s energy. This is sometimes called the greenhouse effect.

| |[pic] |

Some scientists believe that this will lead to global warming.

This means that there will be even greater rises in mean world temperatures in the future. If global warming does happen it will cause changes in weather and rising sea levels.

The increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are caused by burning more fossil fuels, and destroying large areas of forest. Scientists and politicians are trying to find ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is produced and so reduce the chances of global warming. The situation is complex, however, and not all scientists agree that global warming will definitely occur.

Using chemistry

Energy from reactions

Hydrocarbon fuels are made from the elements carbon and hydrogen. Coal, oil and natural gas (methane) are all hydrocarbons. When hydrocarbons burn they form carbon dioxide and water, and release heat energy.

methane + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water

If there is not enough oxygen available, carbon monoxide or even soot is produced.

Other kinds of reaction can also be used as energy resources.

• Displacement reactions happen when a metal displaces a less reactive metal from a solution. The reaction gives out heat energy.

• Two different metals put into acid can produce electrical energy.

• Oxidation reactions happen when something reacts with oxygen. Most oxidation reactions give out heat energy.

New materials

Chemical reactions are used to make nearly all the materials around us. Plants make glucose from carbon dioxide and water, using energy from sunlight. Plants make all the chemicals they need using this glucose, together with water and mineral salts. All the chemicals in our bodies are made from the food we eat, by chemical reactions that happen in our cells.

New materials are being developed all the time. Some new materials have better properties than older ones, or are cheaper to make. New foods and drugs are also being developed. Once a new material has been discovered, scientists have to work out how to make it in a factory, and how to make it into new products. New drugs have to be tested to make sure they work and to check that they do not have any harmful effects.

Law of conservation of mass

In a chemical reaction, the mass of the reactants is always the same as the mass of the products. This is because atoms are not created or destroyed in chemical reactions; they are just rearranged into different compounds.

[pic]

Sometimes the chemicals in a reaction seem to gain or lose mass. If you heat copper it reacts with oxygen from the air to form copper oxide, which has a greater mass than the original copper. However, if you could find the mass of oxygen that had reacted, you would find that the total mass of the reactants (copper and oxygen) was exactly the same as the mass of the product (copper oxide).

When you burn a piece of wood, the ashes that are left have a smaller mass than the wood you started with. This is because one of the products of the reaction is carbon dioxide gas, which has escaped into the air.

Ideas about burning

Oxygen was discovered in 1772, and a few years later a scientist called Antoine Lavoisier suggested that when things burnt they combined with oxygen from the atmosphere. Before then, scientists had believed that the phlogiston theory explained what happened when things burnt.

Phlogiston was a substance that was supposed to be a part of all materials that could burn. Wood, for instance, was thought to be made of ash and phlogiston. When the wood was burnt, the phlogiston escaped into the air and left the ash behind.

|[pic] |

The phlogiston theory could explain a lot of observations about burning and other reactions, but it did not explain why some things appeared to gain mass when they reacted. Lavoisier’s idea was based on careful measurements and experiments, and explained more observations than the phlogiston theory. Eventually all scientists accepted Lavoisier’s idea.

9I Summary Sheets

Energy and electricity

Nothing would happen without energy. Energy is needed to:

• keep our bodies working

• make machines work

• heat homes, schools and offices.

Energies in action

• heat energy

• light energy

• sound energy

• electrical energy

• kinetic (movement) energy.

Stored energy

Some energy has to be stored so that it is ready for use when we need it.

• Chemical energy is stored in food, fuels and cells.

• Gravitational potential energy is stored in high up things.

• Strain energy is stored in stretched or squashed things.

• Nuclear energy is stored inside atoms.

How is energy measured?

Energy is measured in joules (J) or kilojoules (kJ). A kilojoule is 1000 joules.

Energy changes

Energy needs to be changed to be useful.

Many energy changes take place in everyday life. Often wasted energy is produced in the forms of heat or sound.

|[pic] | |

| | |

| |A car engine produces kinetic energy, |

| |which is useful. It also produces heat |

| |and sound |

Energy cannot be made or destroyed, but can only be changed from one form to another. This is the law of conservation of energy.

Voltage

A circuit must have a cell or power supply to provide a voltage. The voltage pushes the electrons around the circuit and gives them energy. This electrical energy is transferred to other components in the circuit, which convert it to other forms of energy. For instance, a light bulb transfers electrical energy to heat and light energy.

The voltage of a cell can be measured using a voltmeter. The units for voltage are volts (V).The voltage across a component is a way of measuring how much energy the component is transferring. The voltage across all the components in a series circuit adds up to the voltage across the cell.

[pic]

Electricity and cells

Electricity is supplied to homes and factories as mains electricity. This travels along cables connected to the National Grid.

Generating electricity

Fossil fuels are transported to power stations where they are burnt to release heat energy. This heats water, turning it to steam. The steam drives turbines which turn generators. The electricity generated flows along cables into the National Grid.

[pic]

Nuclear fuel is made from a radioactive metal called uranium. The energy in nuclear fuel did not come from the Sun.

Electricity can be generated from renewable resources such as wind and moving water. These will become more important as fossil fuels run out.

Sometimes we need a source of portable electricity when we are not close to the mains. This can be supplied by cells (sometimes called batteries). These store chemical energy which can be changed to electrical energy. Cells go flat when they run out of chemical energy. Some cells can be recharged.

Wasting energy

Energy cannot be made or destroyed, but it can be changed to different forms. Not all energy is turned into a form that we want. Often it is turned into heat that we do not need. This is wasted energy. A car engine produces kinetic energy, which is useful. It also produces heat and sound which are wasted forms of energy.

The percentage of useful energy produced by something is known as its efficiency. The human body is 25% efficient.

Speeding up

Calculating speed

Speed tells us how fast something is going.

We can work out the mean (average) speed of something by using this formula:

|mean speed = distance travelled ÷ time taken. | |

| |[pic] |

|Speed can be measured in: | |

|• metres per second (m/s) | |

|• kilometres per hour (km/h) | |

|• miles per hour (mph). | |

| | |

We can show how things move on a distance–time graph. This graph shows Kieron walking to school.

[pic]

Forces

Balanced forces are forces which are the same size but work in opposite directions. Unbalanced forces make things change speed, change shape or change direction.

If forces are balanced:

• a stationary object stays stationary

• a moving object continues to move at the same speed.

If forces are unbalanced:

• a stationary object will start to move

• a moving object will change its speed or direction.

|[pic] | |

| | |

| |The motorbike is accelerating because the|

| |forward force is greater than the |

| |backward force. |

| | |

|[pic] | |

| | |

| |The motorbike is going at a steady speed.|

| |The forces are balanced. |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| | |

A car or motorbike uses fuel to move at a steady speed because it needs a force from the engine to balance the forces of air resistance and friction.

The amount of air resistance on something can be reduced by giving it a smooth, streamlined shape. The air resistance increases as the speed increases, so cars use up more fuel per mile when they are travelling fast. Air resistance is caused by air particles hitting the moving object. The particles transfer energy to the object, which is why objects moving through air can get hot.

The forces on a skydiver change during a jump. Her weight is the same all the time, but her air resistance changes during the jump. We can use a speed–time graph to show what happens.

|[pic] |• At A she has just jumped out of the plane so she has only |

| |just started to move downwards. Her air resistance is very |

| |small. |

| |• At B her air resistance is bigger, but not as big as her |

| |weight so she is still gaining speed. |

| |• At C the forces on her are balanced so she falls at a |

| |steady speed. |

| |• At D she has opened her parachute. The air resistance |

| |force is suddenly a lot bigger than her weight, so she slows|

| |down. |

| |• At E the forces are balanced again, and she will continue |

| |to fall at a steady speed until she reaches the ground. |

|[pic] | |

| | |

|Sharp knife. |Ice skates. |

Examples of a large area giving a small pressure:

|[pic] |[pic] |

|Snow shoes. |Camel on sand. |

We can work out the pressure on something by using this formula:

pressure = force ÷ area

Pressure can be measured in:

• newtons per square metre (N/m2)

• newtons per square centimetre (N/cm2)

• pascals (Pa).

1 Pa = 1 N/m2

Pressure in liquids and gases

Both gases and liquids are fluids. Fluids can flow. Pressure in fluids acts in all directions. The particles in fluids are moving all the time and hitting the walls of containers or other things they come into contact with. The force of the collisions causes pressure which acts in all directions.

|The swimmer is floating because pressure in the water provides a |[pic] |

|force called upthrust, which balances the force of gravity. As you| |

|go deeper into the sea, pressure increases because there is more | |

|water above you pressing down. Dams are made with thicker walls at| |

|the bottom to withstand the pressure. | |

|Uses of pressure in liquids and gases |[pic] |

|Gases can be compressed. The pressure in a compressed gas is | |

|higher because there are more molecules moving around and | |

|hitting the walls of the container. Pneumatic tyres contain | |

|compressed air and this keeps the tyre inflated and helps to | |

|soften a bumpy ride. | |

Liquids cannot be compressed. Liquids are used in hydraulic systems which can be used to increase the size of a force. Hydraulics are used in car braking systems.

Example

[pic]

Pressure = force ÷ area

The pressure on the water is 25 N .

5 cm2

This is 5 N/cm2.

The area at the end of the other syringe is 12 cm2.

Force = pressure × area

The output force is 5 N/cm2 × 12 cm2 = 60 N.

|Levers |[pic] |

|Forces can be used to turn objects around pivots. A pivot is also known |The hammer is acting as a force multiplier. |

|as a fulcrum. | |

| | |

|Levers work by magnifying the force that is put in or the distance it | |

|moves. | |

Moments

A turning force is called a moment. Moments are measured in newton centimetres (N cm) or newton metres (N m).

[pic]

Small moment. Big moment.

The longer the distance the greater the moment. It is easier to turn the long spanner than the short one.

When an object is balanced, the anticlockwise moment = the clockwise moment.

[pic]

In the example above:

the anticlockwise moment = 300 N × 2 m

= 600 Nm

the clockwise moment = 400N × 1.5 m

= 600 Nm

The clockwise and anticlockwise moments are the same, so the seesaw is balanced or in equilibrium.

|Cranes use the principle of moments. The moment from the load is |[pic] |

|balanced by the moment from the concrete blocks to stop the crane | |
