Question

A scientist wanted to test the relationship between pressure, force, and area to confirm that pressure equals force/area. He discovered that if the area was increased during the experiment, the pressure decreased. Assume that many trials were conducted and the force was kept constant. Based on the experiment, what relationship exists between area and pressure

Answer 1

Pressure is indirectly related to area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Since the scientist claimed to have discovered that if the area was increased during the experiment, the pressure decreased. Based on the experiment, it can be concluded that there is a relationship that exists between area and pressure and that force = force/area (force over area). Area is inversely proportional to pressure. The larger the area, the lower the pressure.
