Pressure in a Gas
Gas Pressure is created when gas particles collide with the walls of their container. The more often the particles collide with the walls, and the faster they are moving, the greater the pressure.

…Wave speed is given in meters per second (the number of waves that pass per second). Wavelength is measured in meters and frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), or number of waves per second.
In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it has due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed for an object of a known mass to accelerate to a given velocity.
…Specific heat capacity is how much heat energy is required to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1 °C.
The quantity power is the rate at which work is done. The quicker work is done the greater the power.
Stretching or squashing an object can transfer energy into its elastic potential energy store.
The size of the current is the rate of flow of charge. Electrons are negatively charged particles which transfer energy through wires as electricity.
Resistance is an electrical quantity that measures how a device or material reduces the electrical current flow through it.
Resistors in series and in parallel can change the total resistance in a circuit.
The power of an appliance is the energy that is transferred per second. Electric power is the rate, per unit time at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit.
