ping –pong


Diagram 6.1 shows a piston with its end closed before and after it is immersed in hot water. Diagram 6.2 shows a ping –pong ball before and after it is sprayed with hot water


(a)
Compare the volume of air and the temperature in Diagram 6.1 and Diagram 6.2.
Temperature increases , volume of air increases for both diagrams

(b)
(i)
Based on your observations of Diagram 6.1 and Diagram 6.2, state the relationship between the two physics quantities.
When the temperature of air increases the volume increases/ volume of air is directly proportional to temperature

(iii)
By using the Kinetic Theory explain the law mentioned in b(ii).
When the temperature increases , distance between the air molecules increases. Therefore the volume increases
