It is referred to as volume because the button that we use to control it, is commonly labeled, volume.

What determines the volume of sound?
The volume of a sound is measured by the sound pressure in pascals or newtons per square meter. The sound pressure level is measured by a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter).
What is the unit for the for the volume of sound?
The volume of a sound is measured by the sound pressure in pascals or newtons per square meter. The sound pressure level is measured by a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter).
What is the gadget to measure sound volume?
The volume of a sound is measured by the sound pressure in pascals or newtons per square meter. The sound pressure level is measured by a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter).
What is scfh units?
"SCFH" stands for Standard Cubic Feet per Hour. This is a volumetric flow rate which is used for gases such as air. Since the volume of gases can change dramatically by pressure, a "Standard" is needed to bring the volume to a commonly known value (at sea level). The volume for liquids is typically incompressible and thus does not need a "standard" pressure when calculating volume or volumetric flow rates.
What is the weight of pushing down on an area?
the average at sea level is 14.7 psi. "weight" of air is referred to as atmospheric pressure.
The volume V of a gas varies inversely with the pressure P What happens to the volume of the gas if the pressure is tripled?
The equation is P1V1=P2V2. (P1 is pressure before the change, P2 is the pressure after, V1 is the volume before the change, and V2 is the volume after it.) So to solve it, it would be the same change no matter how much the volume and pressure were to begin with. The values are P1= 1 atmosphere (the pressure of air at sea level) V1= 1 Liter which would mean P2=3 atmospheres 1*1=3(V2) 1/3 Liter= V2. So the volume would be one third of what it was before the pressure was tripled.
Why do gases have no fixed volume?
Gases spread with in the given volume.Gas molecules always colliding each other and exert certain pressure on the container for certain weight. Means you can fill gas in volume 2 litres under pressure 2kg/cm2 and the same amount of gas if made to occupy 20 litres volume it spreads accordingly to fill 20 litres volume .Buy pressure will no be 2kg/cm2 it will be less
What are the three unit of pressure equal to atmospheric sea level?
A not-commonly-used measurement is 'atmosphere'. One atmosphere is the average pressure at sea-level: 101.325 kPa, 1013.25 mbar, 29.921 inches of mercury (inHg) or 760 millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
What unit is used to measure volume in science and how loud is it?
Take a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter). Try to measure the sound pressure p in pascals or in decibels.
What does sound level meter measure?
Sound level meters are instruments that measure the sound pressure level. Sound level meters, or sound meters are commonly used in noise pollution studies, examples are industrial spaces, environmental spaces, and aircraft spaces.
Is the unit of measure for atmospheric pressure most commonly found on weather maps?
In weather maps, atmospheric pressure is measured in millibars. Standard atmospheric pressure is 1013.2 millibars at sea level. Air pressure varies depending on temperature and air density.
What usually happens in general for a gas at a constant volume?
The gas volume become constant when the pressure is increased to a point that makes the distance between the gas molecules equal to zero at this point no more increase of temperature with pressure is observed. Or if the pressure and temperature are kept constant within a system then the volume can also be constant as long as you are able to maintain the pressure and temperature at constant level.
