What is exerting pressure?
Force exerts pressure. For example: At the surface of the Earth the column of air in the atmosphere above an area has a mass that exerts a force (due to gravity) on that surface area.
Does point in the atmosphere exerts pressure equally in all directions?
downwards
What is involved in hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
This treatment involves placing the patient in a chamber breathing 100% oxygen at a pressure of more than one atmosphere (the normal pressure the atmosphere exerts at sea level). The increased pressure forces more oxygen into the blood.
What is the pressure of the bottom of the crust?
It depends where in the ocean you mean! To work this out: At sea level, the Earth's atmosphere exerts a pressure of 1 bar. Then each 10 meter depth of Sea Water also exerts a pressure of 1 bar. So take your ocean bottom depth (in meters) divide it by 10 and add 1. This will give you the pressure at that depth of ocean. alot
Under what circumstances a fluid exerts equal pressure in all direction?
Any liquid exerts equal pressure in all directions.
What is exerting pressure?
Force exerts pressure. For example: At the surface of the Earth the column of air in the atmosphere above an area has a mass that exerts a force (due to gravity) on that surface area.
Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
What the atmosphere exert pressure on?
The atmosphere exerts pressure on various objects on the earth's surface. Air pressure is generally caused by the collision of the gas molecules with one another.
Does point in the atmosphere exerts pressure equally in all directions?
downwards
How does altitude change the boiling point of water?
Water boils when its vapor pressure equals the vapor pressure of the surrounding atmosphere. The atmosphere surrounding the water exerts a pressure, preventing gas molecules escaping from the surface. At higher altitudes, this pressure is much lower so water will boil at a lower temperature.
What is the force the Sun exerts on the Earth?
The air pressure on Earth is caused by the weight of the atmosphere pressing down. This pressure is also known as "atmospheric pressure". Normal atmospheric pressure at the surface of the Earth is 101 kPa, 760 mm Hg, or 14.7 psig
What is the force on a surface divided by the total area cover which the force is exerted?
That's the definition of the 'pressure' which the force exerts on the surface.
What is the phrase don't trend on me?
The correct phrase is Don't tread on me. Tread can either refer to the soles of shoes or now, car tires. Tread exerts pressure against a surface and can even mar or mark the surface. The saying is a metaphor.
What is the difference between air pressure and temperature?
Temperature is the average amount of energy that a (air) particle has. Pressure is the force that the moving particle exerts as it bumps into or pushes against a surface. The higher the temperature, the faster the particles will be moving and the more force they will exert when they bump into a surface. So as temperature goes up, so does pressure.
What is the ammount of pressure air exerts on one square inch of your body?
Assuming you are at sea level, the pressure will be about one atmosphere - or about one bar. (The pressure is the same for any area.)
What is the pressure that blood exerts against the walls of the arteries when the hearts is in contracted state?
high blood
Does a gymnast exert more pressure on the floor when she does a handstand or when she does a split?
The gymnast exerts more pressure by doing the split because she has a bigger surface.
