Air pressure is a measure of the force of per square unit exerted on the surface of an object, and is fairly straightforward to calculate: Pressure = Force/Area. This force is directly proportional to the temperature and density of the gas (increasing either increases the force applied). Air pressure is the same on all sides of an object, and produces no net force on the object.
Air resistance is the force applied by a gas to an object moving in the gas. This force is in the direction opposite of the object's motion, and is caused by the object being bombarded by gas molecules as it moves.
One way to think about it is that each molecule of gas the object comes into contact with must be displaced if the object is to continue moving. It requires energy to move the mass of the gas molecule. This energy comes from the moving object, which transfers a very minute portion of it's momentum to the gas molecule. Even though molecules are extremely small and light, these collisions add up on a large scale, since there are over a billion, billion, billion air molecules per cubic centimeter. Calculating air resistance is much more involved than calculating air pressure, involving some advanced mathematical concepts. It is, however, partially dependent on air pressure.
In short, increased air pressure increases air resistance for a moving object, but the two concepts are not the same.
Yes, air pressure is just another way of saying atmospheric pressure.
It results in a lower atmospheric pressure.
The atmospheric pressure plays a huge role when determining the weather. If the pressure is high, winds will be more active.
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air above the point... at sea level there is more air above the point then there would be at 10,000ft
Sorry, the atmospheric pressure has really nothing to do with the speed of sound at 0c, but he temperature is very important Scroll down to related links and read the short article "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure". The air pressure and the air density are proportional to each other at the same temperature.
The pressure is the same.
Atmospheric Pressure means the same. It is a synonym for air pressure.
Atmospheric pressure is another name for air pressure. This is because the atmosphere is pretty much the same as air.
Air Pressure The force exerted by the air above is called?
Air pressure and atmospheric pressure are the same things, just called differently. It refers to the weight of air being exerted on an object.
Atmospheric pressure systems are made of air.
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air.
Air pressure
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air or the pressure exerted onto the Earth by the air. Pressure changes can lead to different weather patterns.
Atmospheric pressure systems are made of air.
an air compressor Or gravity if you mean atmospheric pressure.
It results in a lower atmospheric pressure.
Yes, Barometric Pressure and Atmospheric Pressure are the same thing. Except one describes what Atmospheric Pressure would be measured in.
