Classification
Nouns denoting cognitive processes and contents.
Examples
- Charles's law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature, assuming constant pressure and amount of gas.
- The scientist applied Charles's law to calculate the density of the gas at different temperatures.
- According to Charles's law, the density of an ideal gas at constant pressure varies inversely with the temperature.
- Charles's law is often used in conjunction with Boyle's law and Avogadro's law to describe the behavior of ideal gases.
- The students learned about Charles's law in their physics class and applied it to solve problems involving gas density and temperature.
