Words and meanings to learn
temperature
a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance; it indicates how hot or cold an object is and is typically measured in degrees Celsius
pressure
the force exerted per unit area on the surface of an object
volume
the amount of space that a substance or object occupies
kinetic
refers to motion; in the context of kinetic energy, it refers to the energy that an object possesses due to its motion
Boyle’s law
states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume; this means that if the volume decreases, the pressure increases, and vice versa
