What pressure does cold air exert?
Cold air exerts a low pressure. That is why cold air falls and hotter air rises above it.
Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
Why do fluid create pressure?
Fluids have a higher density than air and therefore exert more pressure than air.
Why does water exert more pressure than air?
Water is more dense than air is.
What makes you fart when you cough?
When you cough, it can create pressure in your abdominal area which can push air out and cause you to fart. This is because the same muscle groups are involved in coughing and passing gas. Additionally, swallowing air while coughing can also contribute to farting.
Does gas molecules in air exert pressure on the objects they surround?
Yes, Hence bouyancy.
Why doesnt pressure exert on gasses?
You have a misconception... Pressure can be definitely exerted on gas. You might have heard of air compressor? Pneumatic cylinder? these elements exert pressure on air(Gas). Free air from atmosphere is sucked inside then pressurized & used for many applications. Please go through working principles of these elements.
