Pressure and temperature -- the effects of one upon the other

[QUOTE="jbriggs444, post: 5466099, member: 422467"] You should probably discard the idea of cause and effect here. It is not necessary and is a hindrance to understanding. All other things being equal, there is a [B]correlation[/B] between pressure and temperature in an ideal gas. If temperature is higher, pressure must be higher. If pressure is higher, temperature must be higher. It is not required that the increase in temperature caused the increase in pressure. It is not required that the increase in pressure caused the increase in temperature. It is enough that when given an increase in one you can calculate the increase in the other. It is the same way with force and acceleration and f=ma. It does not matter whether the force of your hand on a ball causes an acceleration or whether the acceleration of a car causes a force of the seat on your posterior. It is enough that you can calculate either one when given the other. [/QUOTE]
