  • Robert Boyle experimented with gas pressure to find an inversely proportional relationship between the volume and pressure of a gas.
    Isaac Newton explained this relationship using his mathematical model of the inverse square law. The gas particles must be stationary corpuscles that exert a greater force as they are squeezed together.
    Boyle thought that Newton's model was adequate, but that it was also plausible that the corpuscles were in motion. The ensuing collisions exerted a force and that constraining the volume increased the collision frequency.
    What evidence would end up distinguishing between these two models?
