The measure of the force with air molecules push on a surface is called?
The measure of the force due to air pressing on a surface is called the force.If you divide that by the area of the surface, then you have the pressure.
What gauge measures both vacuum and pressure?
Gauge pressure usually refers to the pressure difference between ambient, atmospheric pressure and the pressure in a vessel or line. A gauge pressure of zero would mean that the vessel or line was at atmospheric pressure. Normally the pressures of interest are ABOVE atmospheric so the gauge pressure is positive. Vacuum gauge pressure measures how far BELOW atmospheric pressure a vessel or line is. As such vacuum gauge pressure may be measured as a negative number - or for convenience it may be reported as a positive number with the caveat that it is "vacuum gauge pressure", meaning that the reported pressure is how far atmospheric pressure is above the pressure in the vessel or line.
What is a Bunsen burner and what is its function?
The bunsen burner is used to heat items for experiments using a controllable temperature flame and surface area at which the heat is applied to the vessel.
The measure of the force with which air molecules are pushing on the Earth's surface?
This force is called atmospheric pressure, the force is measured per unit area because the bigger the area the more molecules hit. It is 14.7 pounds per square inch ("psi")
One ATM equals standard ATMospheric pressure at sea level Choose the correct measure of one ATM?
Atmospheric pressure refers to the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the Earth's atmosphere. The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure at sea level and is equal to 101325 Pascal.
What blood vessel contains blood at high pressure?
The one with the largest surface area.
What is the force on a surface divided by the area of that surface?
The force that is exerted on a surface divided by the area of the area is pressure. The standard unit of pressure is the Pascal.
What is divided by surface area to calculate pressure?
That is the force F. p = F / Awhere:p is the pressure,F is the normal force,A is the area (surface).
What happens to surface area of a tire when pressure is increased?
the surface area decreases.
The force pushing on a surface or area?
Pressure
What quantity is divide by the surface area?
The quantity that is divided by the surface area is force. Force divided by surface area is equal to pressure.
Why do sharp kniveshave a small cutting surface area?
This is because the pressure exerted at the blade of a knife increases with diminishing surface area. The smaller the cutting surface area, the higher the pressure, and the easier it is to cut.
What force is pushing on a surface or area?
Pressure.
Certified Pressure Vessel?

Does pressure increase with the amount of force per unit area?
Pressure is defined as the derivative of normal force with respect to surface area. Pressure is proportional to the normal force, and inversely proportional to the surface area. As the normal force over a surface area varies so does pressure. In the case that pressure is increasing then either the normal force is increasing, the surface area of which the normal force is being exerted is decreasing, or the combination of both of these is occurring.
What is the surface pressure on the sun?
The surface pressure of the earth is nominally 1013.25 hectoPascals (hP), which is also referred to as 1 The surface pressure of the earth will vary slightly according to weather conditions.
Why do skis have a larger surface area?
The larger the surface area the more pressure can be spread out, therefore it is less likely to fall through the snow. As pressure = f / a.
