What is the source of pressure in the core of a red giant that resists the force of gravity?
The energy produced by the star, which manifests itself as heat.
Force per unit area is termed?
Pressure is the force measured over an area
What is pressure gradient?
It is a difference in pressure
What is divided by surface area to calculate pressure?
That is the force F. p = F / Awhere:p is the pressure,F is the normal force,A is the area (surface).
The wind flows clockwise around an area of pressure?
Wind flows clockwise around high pressure in the northern hemisphere. If you are in the southern hemisphere, it is clockwise around low pressure. The reason for the difference is the Coriolis Force.
What is suction power?
A force over an area produced by a pressure difference
What is the difference between thrust and pressure-?
what is the difference between thrust and pressure?
What is the difference between tension and pressure in physics?
There is a huge difference between tension and pressure in physics. Tension refers to a pulling force and pressure refers to a pushing force.
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced.?
FALSE
Winds are produced when there is a different in what?
Winds are produced when there is a difference in atmospheric pressure. Air moves from areas of high pressure in the atmosphere to areas of low pressure. This movement of air is experienced as wind.
That is the difference between force and pressure?
Pressure deals with the impact on a particular surface while force is the total impact on a particular surface
Is less pressure produced by decreasing the area a force acts on?
No. The opposite is true.
Why is there no horizontal buoyant force on an submerged object?
Because the buoyant force is the result of different pressure at different depths, and there is no difference in pressure horizontally.
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is greater than the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced.?
FALSE
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is less than the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced.?
greater than
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is less that the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced true or false?
true
When the pressure of the bottom of a submerged object is less than the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced?
greater than
