What do you do to increase the amount of pressure by whwere the force is applied?
Since Pressure is Force per Unit Area (P = F/A), there are intuitively two ways to increase pressure. You can either keep the area constant and increase the force being applied, or keep the force constant and decrease the area on which the force acts.
If a constant force is spread over an area and that area gets smaller what happens?
If the force remains constant, then the pressure - which is force per unit area - will increase.
What will happen in force when area decreases?
pressure will increase
When you increase the area over which pressure is applied?
The pressure decreases because P = F/a where "P" is pressure, "F" is force, and "a" is area.
How does surface area and force affect pressure?
Pressure is force per area, so P = F/A where pressure is P, force is F and A is area. So Pressure is directly proportional to the force exerted on a surface. So increasing a force by a factor of 2, say, increases the pressure on the surface by 2 also.

If you increase force keeping the area the same what happens to pressure?
if force increaces and area stays the same then pressure

If the force remains constant, then the pressure - which is force per unit area - will increase.
What will happen in force when area decreases?
pressure will increase
What will happen to the pressure inside the container if the volume of a container of gas is reduced?
The pressure inside the container will increase. Pressure (P) is force(F) divided by the area(A) it hits on. If you decrease the area, you increase the pressure.
When you increase the area over which pressure is applied?
The pressure decreases because P = F/a where "P" is pressure, "F" is force, and "a" is area.

It is possible to increase the amount of pressure by blank the area where force is applied?
The surface area
It is possible to increase the amount of pressure by the amount of area where force is applied.?
The surface area
If you stand on one foot you increase the pressure you exert on the ground because?
you have decreased the area over which the force is applied, and pressure is force per unit area
On the molecular level what causes gas pressure?
On the molecular level pressure is caused by individual gas molecules interacting with the surfaces of a container. Pressure is defined as force per unit area, so in the most basic level pressure can increase with an increase in force applied to the container or a decrease in area the molecules are interacting with. The decrease in area can be from a smaller container, or an increase in force can be from an increase in the velocity of the molecules. This increase in velocity is usually due to an increase in energy (typically heat).
Can you produce a lower pressure by decreasing the area a force acts on?
No, in fact you would be increasing the pressure. What you would have to do is increase the area while keeping the force constant which then would decrease the pressure.
