What the atmosphere exert pressure on?

The atmosphere exerts pressure on various objects on the earth's surface. Air pressure is generally caused by the collision of the gas molecules with one another.


Fluids exert pressure because they are made up of tiny?

a. moving molecules that exert forces.


Why gasses exert pressure?

As the molecules in the gas move, they collide with the container they are within. These collisions is what we call pressure.


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 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 do all gasses exert pressure in terms of KMT?

Pressure is the effect of collisions with molecules. KMT -- molecules have kinetic energy due to their temperature which imparts more velocity, hence kinetic energy, to the molecules. All gases have KE due to temperature. IF absolute zero was ever achieved there would be no kinetic energy in the molecules, no molecular motion, no collisions, no pressure.


What causes radiation pressure?

radiation light has energy and direction. Energy can be describe as having mass. E=mc2 Therefore all light can exert a pressure on objects dependent on its vector direction.


Which direction does a vapor material exert a pressure or force?

Vapor materials exert their pressure in just about every direction


What types of force that exert pressure?

athmospheric pressure


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.


Use the word exert in a sentence?

Gas molecules in a container spread out to fill as much of the container as possibly, exerting little pressure on the container as a whole as compared to a solid or a liquid due to the lack of density of the molecules.


What is the external pressure?

external pressure is pressure that other things exert on you
