# Clue Answer As Given Value Round Category Air Date Show
Pascal's law says in fluid in a closed container, a change in this goes without loss to every part; Pascal tested it with a full barrel pressure DD $8,000 DJ PHYSICAL SCIENCE 2024-09-23 #9166
Water boiling & turning into steam is an example of an isobaric process, meaning this remains constant pressure DD $6,400 DJ SCIENCE 2023-02-17 #8810
(Sarah of the Clue Crew demonstrates the clue.) It would seem that blowing into the bottle would force the paper ball inside; however, the fast-moving air goes past the paper & hits the bottom of the bottle, increasing this 8-letter term inside, & forces the paper out pressure $400 J WEIRD SCIENCE 2013-02-08 #6540
At a constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to this pressure $1,600 DJ SCIENCE 2012-06-29 #6410
(Sarah of the Clue Crew gives the clue as she and Kelly demonstrate a potato gun.) A potato gun demonstrates Boyle's Law using a simple tube & a stick; pushing the stick reduces the volume of air & increases this 8-letter term, making the potato go ballistic pressure $1,200 DJ SCIENCE 2011-11-29 #6257
(Jon of the Clue Crew releases a balloon.) Thrust comes from the sudden inequality of this, sometimes measured in atmospheres, inside & outside a rocket pressure $1,600 DJ ROCKET SCIENCE 2005-11-09 #4868
The Titanic sank with its artifacts to 12,500 feet, where this is measured at about 380 atmospheres pressure $1,600 DJ MIND YOUR SCIENCE "P"s & "Q"s 2004-06-15 #4567
When you are "under" this, a manometer will measure it pressure $600 J SCIENCE PUNS 2003-10-21 #4397
According to Boyle's Law, when a gas is compressed to half its size, this doubles Pressure $400 DJ GENERAL SCIENCE 1997-02-27 #2884
At a constant temperature, the volume of a gas decreases as this increases pressure $400 DJ PHYSICAL SCIENCE 1991-05-09 #1554
The unit of measure for this force is the bar or millibar pressure $500 J 8-LETTER SCIENCE 1988-02-05 #795
