Questions

Please answer the questions below.

Question 11.1

How do the actions of the particles, both inside and outside of the syringe, lead to a situation where the net force on the plunger is zero during a plunger pull?

Question 11.2

When pulling the plunger, at what point are the net forces on the plunger equal to zero?

Question 11.3

How do the actions of the particles, both inside and outside of the syringe, lead to a situation where the net force on the plunger is zero during a plunger push?

Question 11.4

When pushing the plunger, at what point are the net forces on the plunger equal to zero?

Question 11.5

What aspects (if any) of your prediction for the plunger position graph, matched the outcomes in the model?
