In 2D, pressure moves in the direction of the force. If the force is an upwards force, it creates an upwards pressure. Your weight is a downwards force and it applies a pressure down onto the floor.
A force is a push or a pull which changes how fast an object moves. Pressure is the force on an object divided by the area over which the force is spread. A force will change the velocity of an object. This means it will start it moving if it is still, stop it moving, speed it up, slow it down or change its direction! Pressure takes into account the area over which the force is acting. A force spread over a big area will give a low pressure. The same force spread over a small area will give a high pressure. For an excellent account of force and pressure see the links below. You might think of force as a 'vector' and pressure as a 'scalar'. A vector must include direction as a parameter as well as magnitude; and a scalar has magnitude without dependence on direction. Force on an object when the force is not balanced by other forces will compel an object to move. An object sitting motionless at one atmosphere of pressure will not be compelled to move simply because of the presence of the pressure alone. Pressure is the force over an area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface. Force is a push or pull that can cause an object with mass to accelerate. Force has both magnitude and direction. p = F / A, where:p is the pressure,F is the normal force,A is the area.
If the force is perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to the direction of motion, that force does no work.
Thrust refers to the force exerted by a fluid or gas on a surface, typically in a specific direction. It is a measure of the force that propels an object forward. Pressure, on the other hand, is the force exerted by a fluid per unit area. It is a measure of how forceful the fluid is acting on a surface, regardless of the direction.
There is a huge difference between tension and pressure in physics. Tension refers to a pulling force and pressure refers to a pushing force.
Pressure is the force over an area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface. Force is a push or pull that can cause an object with mass to accelerate. Force has both magnitude and direction. p = F / A, where:p is the pressure,F is the normal force,A is the area.
Pressure is the force over an area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface. p = F / A where:p is the pressure,F is the normal force,A is the area.
pressure is force divided by area
One way to distinguish between the two is that force is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Pressure is omni-directional and acts on all directions equally.
Vapor materials exert their pressure in just about every direction

Pressure = Force/Area
Pressure = Force/Area.
pressure = force / area Therefore pressure and force are directly proportional, meaning... The greater the force the greater the pressure and the lower the force the lower the pressure
Pressure is defined as force per area
what is the difference between thrust and pressure?
