What is the definition of compression?

Compression - Forces used to push objects together.


How much water do you put in the bottle rocket?

If you mean the water-and-compressed-air powered toy rockets, they generally work best when filled about halfway... but don't take my word for it, try different water levels and see!


Why do you see a cloud form from clothes dryer exhaust vent?

You would only see air from the dryer vent if the outside air was cooler or colder than the vented heat.


Show a diagram that shows how air has weight?

it would be very hard to draw but if you draw 2 ballons one with air and one with no air then see which ones heavier it has to be the ballon filled with air


Does air have no weight as a result of gravity?

Air does have a weight! And it is because of gravity! Note that this is per definition true because weight is only defined in the presence of gravity. Perhaps you are confused about why the air is up in the atmosphere and not down here on the ground with us? This has to do with air pressure. You see, materials don't like to be compressed, which is what gravity tries to do. Gravity tries to compress the air to the ground, but faces increased air pressure as it does so. Basically what happens is that the air particles repulse each other and thus tend to drive them apart. This force increases if you force the particles to be closer to each other. As gravity tries to pull air down, the air pressure increases which counter balances the pull of gravity. In the end a stable system is formed where the air pressure is highest down near the ground and lowest up in the upper lays of the atmosphere. The air particles up in the atmosphere do feel gravity, but if they would move down they would feel an increased air pressure which pushes them up again!

Who sells the cheapest compressed air?

You can buy compressed air in a lot of places. Be it in stores or on the internet. You can buy compressed air quite cheap from many places, so look around and find what deals you like and see which you can get cheapest.


Why would you see water droplets form at the top of the syringe if you put it in a beaker filled with hot water in chemistry?

because the water in the beaker would evaoprate into it then condense on the surface of the syringe


When will the AirPod compressed air car be available for purchase in the US?

They keep promising, but it's always "next year"! Based on the physics of carrying around your power supply of highly compressed air, I would guess physics will win out over economics, and you would only see these as low-speed or short-range support vehicles, not on public highways.

Where do you see the properties of air in everyday life?

Air, which is a mixture of gases, exerts pressure. We can see this as we observe a breeze moving the leaves of trees around. Air can be compressed, and we can demonstrate that if we blow up a balloon. Air is transparent, and we can't see it. There are other properties of air that are a little hard to see as air is a very light, transparent gas mixture.

How do you read the amount of medicine in a syringe in a syringe?

The same way you read ANY syringe. From www.wikipedia.com (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringes), if you click on the image of the 10ml syringe, you'll see the markings on the barrel. You measure the units of fluid from the needle side back to the plunger - so as you pull back the plunger you draw in "x" ml's of fluid as marked from the needle back. Standard safety procedures surrounding the use of a syringe should always be followed, and in no way is this short answer a full and complete explanation of how to correctly/safely use a syringe.


What does psi mean in scuba diving?

the amount of air in the tank per square inch. (p.s.i.)Improve answerPounds per Square Inch - so the amount of pressure exerted on the tank by the air under pressure in the cylinder of the scuba diver. The more pressure, the more compressed the air so the greater the volume of air compressed within the cylinder.for more on scuba diving, including equipment see the related link:
