Why is the force exerted on the same amount of area on top of the mountain less than the force exerted at sea level?
Although you didn't mention air pressure, that seems to be what you are asking about. Air exerts pressure because air has weight, and we have a very thick atmosphere (which extends upward for about 200 miles) pressing down on us. But at higher altitudes, such as a mountain top, there is less air pressing down, since only the part of the atmosphere that is higher than where you are, is pressing down on you.
What is the force of air pushing down on us?
14.7 psi (at sea level).
How does barometric pressure vary with altitude?
pressure is a physical unit that measures what we may call the density of force i.e. trhe amount of force exerted on a certain area , the atmosphiric pressure is the force exerted by the air mass on a certain area , clearly more air means more mass , thus , when we go down the air above us increases , and when we go down the amount of air decreases.
What force is stronger gravity or air resistance?
Gravity is stronger. If gravity was not stronger air would make us float away. Air is trying to make things go up and gravity is making things go down.
How does air pressure affect speed of a human?
Yes, it does affect our speed while we are running because if there is more air pressure the force of the pressure is against us and so we slow down while we are running.
What is the name of the air pressing down on us?
Air pressure
What happens when the air molecules that are constantly pressing down on us due to gravity?
it squeeses use a bit if it is alot it will crush use

Why does air pressure becomes lower as water molecules are added to the air?
Air pressure is the weight of the air at a specific location. On the surface of the earth, we have the entire weight of the atmosphere pressing on us in the form of air molecules like O2, N2, and CO2. As we go higher and higher into the atmosphere, there are fewer molecules and so there is less weight pressing against us.
Why does air in the atmosphere pressure down on us?
It is the pull of gravity on the column of air over you.
Why you never complain against the burden of air over us?
Because the burden of no air over us is much, much worse.
What was the US accomplishments on DDay?
They landed on Normandy beach.. and were pressing inwards into Europe to take down the Nazi regime
What is the best explanation for how air masses move across the US?
the air goes up and down
How much air is around us?
loads
How much air is there around us?
loads
Why does the amount of air around us have to be greater than the amount of air in us?
The more air is in us the higher the preshure. If there was more air in us than around us we could explode howewer if there was too much air around us we would probably get squeezed.
Is the US still pressing pennies?
Yes.
