What is the upward force that is exerted by a gas or liquid called?
well The upward force of a liquid or gas on an object is called
What is the measure of the force exerted by a gas above a liquid?
vapor pressure
Which law states that a force exerted on a fluid will be transferred equally against the walls of that fluid's container?
Pascal's Law
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure is the force exerted on an object divided by the area where the pressure was applied.
What is the scientific definition of force?
Pressure depends on the quantity of force exerted and the area over which the force is exerted
What causes pressure in a container?
The kinetic theory states that gas pressure is the force exerted by gas molecules impacting on the sides of the container.
What cause the pressure by gas molecules on their container?
What causes the pressure exerted by gas molecules on their container? idk
How does increasing the number of particles of a contained gas it's pressure?
Pressure is defined as the force per unit area applied. This force is derived from the collision of particles. Pressure increase when this force is increase, and it applies otherwise too. By increasing the number of particles in a specific amount of gas, there are more particles colliding onto the container. This causes the force per unit exerted by the gas on the container to increase. As such, when one increases the number of particles within a container of gas, the pressure within the container will increase.
What happens to the pressure of a gas if the volume of its container was increased?
Assuming you haven't put any more gas in the container, the pressure will go down. Usually, the reason the volume of the container gets larger is that you put more gas in the container and the gas pressure in the container seeks to equalize with the pressure outside it.
What is the upward force that is exerted by a gas or liquid called?
well The upward force of a liquid or gas on an object is called
What would increase the pressure of gas?
Options: -- Force more gas into the same container. -- Force the same amount of gas into a smaller container. -- Heat the gas.
Would increase the pressure of a gas?
Options: -- Force more gas into the same container. -- Force the same amount of gas into a smaller container. -- Heat the gas.

Why does the pressure exerted by a gas does not depend on the type of gas?
The pressure that the gas exerts on the walls of any vessel has to do with the force that the particles of gas were exerted as a consequence of their very own kinetic energy. That helps know why the gas does not have to depend on the type of gas.
Which of the matter has no definite shape or volume?
gas has no definite shape or volume. pressure is the force exerted over a unit of area. gases cause pressure by the particles colliding with the walls of the container.
What causes a gas to exert pressure when confined in a container?
Assuming constant amount of gas and temperature, pressure will increase as volume decreases. Conversely, pressure will decrease as volume increases. If you squeeze on a filled balloon, the volume decreases. The pressure of the air on each square inch of the balloon increases, which causes it to eventually pop if the pressure gets too high. Assuming constant amount of gas, a temperature change will already change the volume of the gas. As temperature rises, the gas expands, causing more pressure to be exerted on the balloon. Assuming constant temperature, adding more gas also increases the volume and thus increases the pressure.
