Boyle's Law
|
A principle that describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at a constant temperature.
|
|
|
Charles's Law
|
A principle that describes the relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas at a constant pressure.
|
|
|
Directly Proportional
|
A term used to describe the relationship between to variables whose graph is a straight line passing through the point (0,0). Charles's Law is directly proportional when graphed but Boyle's Law is not.
|
|
|
Inversely Proportional
|
A term used to describe the relationship between to variables whose product is constant. Boyle's Law is indirectly proportional when graphed but Charlese's Law is not.

|
Pressure
|
The force pushing on a surface (in Newtons) divided by the surface area.
|
|
|
Temperature
|
The measurement of how hot or cold something is. The higher the temperature, the hotter it is and the lower the temperature. Usually measured with a thermometer.
|
|
|
Volume
|
The amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object. Volume can be measured in milliliters or cubic centimeters. 1millileter = 1 cm3
|
|
|
Constant
|
When something stays the same over a period of time and does not change. An object at a "constant temperature" stays the same temperature and does not change unless you add or take away energy.
