Speed, density & pressure

What are speed, density and pressure?

  • Speed, density and pressure are frequently used compound measures

    • Speed is equal to distance divided by time

    • Density is equal to mass divided by volume

    • Pressure is equal to force divided by area

Formula Triangles for Speed, Density and Pressure

What should I know about speed, distance and time?

  • Speed is commonly measured in metres per second (m/s) or kilometres per hour (km/h)

    • The units indicate speed is distance per time
      Speed equals Distance over Time

  • ‘Speed‘ (in this formula) means ‘average speed‘

  • In harder problems there are often two journeys or two parts to one longer journey

What should I know about density, mass and volume?

  • Density is usually measured in grams per centimetre cubed (g/cm3) or kilograms per metre cubed (kg/m3)

    • The units indicate that density is mass per volume
      Density equals Mass over Volume

  • You may need to use a volume formula to find the volume of an object first

What should I know about pressure, force and area?

  • Pressure is usually measured in Newtons per square metre (N/m2)

    • The units of pressure are often called Pascals (Pa) rather than N/m2

    • The units indicate that pressure is force per area
      Pressure equals Force over Area

  • Remember that weight is a force

    • It is different to mass

Examiner Tips and Tricks

  • Look out for a mixture of units

    • Time can be given as minutes but common phrases like ‘half an hour’ (30 minutes) could also be used in the same question

    • Any mixed units should be those in common use and easy to convert, e.g., g to kg or m to km etc

Worked Example

A box exerts a force of 140 newtons on a table.
The pressure on the table is 35 newtons/m2.
