Calculating exerted pressure ( gas law lab)

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the exerted pressure in kPa, the force was determined using the mass and gravitational acceleration, resulting in 8.8984 N. The pressure was then calculated using the formula Pressure = Force/Area, yielding a value of 16789.43396 N/m². To convert this pressure from Pascals to kilopascals, one must recognize that 1 kPa equals 1000 Pa. Therefore, dividing the pressure in Pascals by 1000 provides the pressure in kPa. The final pressure is approximately 16.79 kPa.

Homework Statement


Mass =0.908kg
Area= 5.3 x 10^-4 m^2


2. Attempt
This was for a lab I am doing on gas laws. Its asking to calculate exerted pressure in kPa. This is what I've done so far :

F= 0.908kg * 9.8m/s^2 = 8.8984N

Pressure = Force/ Area
Pressure= ( 8.8984N) /( 5.3 * 10^-4 m^2)

Pressure= 16789.43396 N/ m^2

How do I convert that to kPa?

What?
 
What does one Pascal equal?
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
