The fact that light can exert a pressure on matter suggests that it is made of particles called .?
The particles of light are called photons.
What do all particles do?
All particles exert some kind of force on other particles.
What circumstance can exert pressure and why?
idek
Can you think of two particles which do not exert force on each other?
Two particles which do not exert gravitational force on each other will be mass less particles. But particle has even a litle mass. Hence we cannot find two particles which do not exert gravitational force on each other.
How does kinetic theory explain the compressibility of gas?
When gas molecules collide with the walls of the container, the collision is elastic. ie. Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision. Hence, the gas molecule imparts a certain momentum to the wall. As there are a large no of gas molecules, a large no of molecules collide with the wall every second. Change in momentum per unit time (per second) is force. Force per unit area is pressure. This is the pressure exerted by gas molecules.yes.. when applied with Boyle's law and Charles law and Gay Lussac's law, It can explain the pressure exerted by the gases
Why are you not crushed under atmospheric pressure?
The fluids in your body exert pressure and prevent the atmospheric pressure from closing in. Fluids exert pressure on a container the particles collide with each other and the sides of the container.
How the air particles exert a pressure on the inside of the balloon?
Particles in gases, like the gas inside the balloon, move around a lot, fill up their container and collide a lot, both with each other and the walls of the container (ie - the balloon). Pressure is just how many collisions there are. So high pressure is when the particles collide with the walls of the container loads, and low pressure is when they don't collide with it very much. So the gaseous particles collide with the inside of the balloon, creating pressure. Hope that helps :)
How do gas particles exert pressure on their container?
'This is because the air particles are bumpinginto each other and the walls. When this happens it causes pressure on the walls because of the speed the air particles are moving
Why gasses exert pressure?
As the molecules in the gas move, they collide with the container they are within. These collisions is what we call pressure.
Why does the air exert pressure on the surface of the earth?
Air produces a force on the surface of an object (in this case the earth) because of the movement of the particles that make up air. This force over a defined area is known as pressure.
Which of does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
Which of these does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
How do fluids exert exert pressure?
All of the forces exerted by the individual particles in a fluid combine to make up the pressure exerted by the fluid.
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 kind of pressure does a column of air exert on the air or surface below it?
air pressure
