So my question is, if the bulk modulus change by 5%, what is the fractional volume change value? is it times 0.05 or divided by 0.05? or the fractional volume change still the same?
I can't make sense of the question. Bulk modulus is a property of the substance. You could change its bulk modulus by, say, heating it, but how is that connected with a fractional change in the volune of a sample?ralden said:So my question is, if the bulk modulus change by 5%, what is the fractional volume change value? is it times 0.05 or divided by 0.05? or the fractional volume change still the same?
The bulk modulus and fractional volume change have an inverse relationship. This means that as the bulk modulus increases, the fractional volume change decreases, and vice versa.
The bulk modulus is a measure of the stiffness of a material. A higher bulk modulus indicates that a material is more resistant to compression and is therefore stiffer.
Yes, the bulk modulus and fractional volume change can be used to predict how a material will respond to changes in pressure. A higher bulk modulus indicates that a material will experience less volume change when subjected to pressure, while a lower bulk modulus indicates a greater volume change.
The bulk modulus and fractional volume change are both measures of a material's elasticity. A higher bulk modulus and lower fractional volume change indicate a more elastic material, while a lower bulk modulus and higher fractional volume change indicate a less elastic material.
Yes, the relationship between bulk modulus and fractional volume change can be used to compare the compressibility of different materials. Materials with a higher bulk modulus and lower fractional volume change will be less compressible than materials with a lower bulk modulus and higher fractional volume change.
