Why liquids exert pressure on the walls of a container?
To expand
How do gas particles exert pressure on their container?
'This is because the air particles are bumpinginto each other and the walls. When this happens it causes pressure on the walls because of the speed the air particles are moving
Why does the liquid exert pressure on the walls of the container?
It is because of the continuous bombardment of liquid molecules on the wall.
How a gas exerts pressure on the walls of its container?
The gaseous molecules are in continuous random motion and during their motion continuously strike the walls of container and exert the force on walls,the force per unit area is the pressure of the gas.
How does a gas exert pressue on the container in which it is being held?
A gas exerts pressure on the container because it is bouncing off the walls of the container at a certain force. The greater the force is the greater the pressure.
How the air particles exert a pressure on the inside of the balloon?
Particles in gases, like the gas inside the balloon, move around a lot, fill up their container and collide a lot, both with each other and the walls of the container (ie - the balloon). Pressure is just how many collisions there are. So high pressure is when the particles collide with the walls of the container loads, and low pressure is when they don't collide with it very much. So the gaseous particles collide with the inside of the balloon, creating pressure. Hope that helps :)
Why do gases exert a pressure on the inside of their container?
A gas consists of particles, which are either atoms or molecules, which all move randomly, and independently of each other. Every time a particle bounces off the wall of a container, it exerts some degree of pressure. The total of all the particles bouncing off the walls creates the pressure that we observe.
Why do gases exert more pressure on the walls of a container than a solid?
Pressure is given by kinetic theory of gases as P = 1/3 rho C^2 Here rho is the density and C is the root means square value of velocity of molecules In case of gas C is large but in solid C is almost zero
The volume of a gas is the force of its outward push divided by the area of the walls of the container True or False And what's the answer?
The gas's pressure is defined as the outward push against the walls of its container, though gravity contributes to this somewhat. More importantly, this pressure can cause the gases to condense into liquids if it's high enough.
Why does a gas exert more pressure if it's volume is reduced?
As the volume is decreased, the same number of molecules of air have a smaller space to move freely in. The number of collisions of molecules of air with the walls of the container per unit time increases. Since pressure is the force exerted over an area, the pressure increases.
Do liquids exert pressure on the walls of the containers?
Yes
What causes the pressure that a gas exerts on the wall of its container?
Kinetic theory explains the pressure that a gas exerts on the walls of its container. This describes elastic collisions between the atoms or molecules in the gas with the container's walls, which collectively exert a measureable pressure.
