air (gas) has mass therefore it is affected by gravity. the "deeper" the air the higher the pressure. just like the oceans....
As altitude increases, the weight of the atmosphere above decreases, leading to lower pressure. Essentially, there are fewer air molecules at higher altitudes exerting pressure downward.
The pressure of the container would increase because adding more gas particles increases the number of collisions with the walls of the container. This leads to an increase in the force exerted by the gas on the walls, resulting in a higher pressure.
The big reason is because air is air, and water is water. The second reason is because air is compressible, while water cannot be compressed. What that means is that if you compress air to twice the pressure, it will be one-half the volume. If you compress water to be twice the pressure, the volume won't change.
In a jug, the water pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the water above exerting force. The pressure at the bottom of the jug is higher than at the top. This pressure difference is the reason why water squirts out with more force from a spout at the bottom than at the top.
Because it is under intense pressure.
As altitude increases, the weight of the atmosphere above decreases, leading to lower pressure. Essentially, there are fewer air molecules at higher altitudes exerting pressure downward.
Because if you heat a gas (the air in the tyre) without letting it expand the pressure will rise.Read more: Why_does_pressure_in_tyres_increase_on_hot_days
At sea level there are 14.7 pounds per square inch of air pressure all around you everywhere you go. At higher altitudes there is less pressure because the air is thinner. The reason it is thinner is because air has the same amounts of oxygen, nitrogen and other gases at all altitudes but as you go higher it is spread over a greater area and continues to be spread over a larger area until it reaches space.
Yes, it is true that atmospheric pressure decreases with increased altitude. This is because there is less air above pushing down on the air below as you go higher in the atmosphere. This is why it becomes harder to breathe at high altitudes due to the lower pressure.
Because it increases sales.
Elevation has minimal affects on the freezing point of water as it doesn't deal with gas molecules as boiling does. Elevation affects the boiling point of water because the air pressure changes with elevation.
Pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the overlying material pushing down. This is known as hydrostatic pressure. The deeper you go underwater or underground, the greater the pressure because there is more material above exerting force.
its because the gold
The higher you go, the lesser the air pressure becomes. This can be logically understood. Atmospheric air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above it. At greater heights, the amount of air above you is less, so there is less weight pressing on the air you are in. This is the reason why the atmospheric pressure is higher at the sea-levels and lower at mountains and places of high altitudes.
Same reason as a balloon will burst when overinflated. As the pressure inside increases, the forces trying to rip the casing apart also increases. And eventually the tube/tire will burst.
At high altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is low, and as altitude increases pressure decreases. So if the pressure of atmosphere changes suddenly, the blood vessels on our body will burst due to pressure of the blood and other fluids inside.
The temperature in the atmosphere decreases as altitude increases. The reason for this is there is less warmth from the surface of the earth reaching the higher altitudes because there are fewer particles of the atmosphere to transfer the heat. The temperature begins to increase, however, around 100km in altitude because of the heat and radiation from the sun.
