a) Idea that pressure is the ration between a force measured in N (Newtons) and an area
measured in m2
b) The depth you go the higher the pressure
c) When the liquid is more dense there is a higher pressure

16
a) (1) W = m x g
(1) W = 1.4 kg x 10 N/kg
(1) W = 14 N

b) (1) ½ mv2
(1) ½ x 1.4kg x (30 m/s)2
(1) 630 J

c) (1) GPE + KE = ME
(1) Wh + ½ mv2
(1) 1.4 kg x 10 N/kg x 12 m + 630 J
(1) 14 N x 12 m + 630 J
(1) 798 J

17
a) (1) The wide tyres form a higher area so there is a low pressure exerted.
(1) The narrow fitted tyres form a lower area so a higher pressure exerted.
