What happens to gas particles when air leaks out in an inflated ball?
Gas particles travel from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure when air leaks out of an inflated ball.
What do air density and air pressure have in common?
At a given temperature, the higher the air density, the higher the air pressure.
What happens to the volume or size of a balloon as it rises in the air?
The volume of the balloon will increase as it rises in the air. This is because the atmospheric pressure decreases at higher altitudes.
What happens to the pressure of the air outside of the balloon as it goes higher?
The pressure inside the balloon will be higher because the balloon will try to get smaller and thus the balloon will ascent due to the low density of the helium inside the balloon.
Is air pressure greater when your higher up or lower?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of all the air stacked up above you. The higher you go, the less air there is above you, so the pressure is lower.
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above the earth surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above earths surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
What happens to air pressure when the temperature changes?
air pressure becomes less in cold tempuratures
What happens to pressure at different temperatures?
Pressure (such as air in a balloon) can increase with higher temps and decrease with lower temps.
What happens to air pressure when you move higher above the earth surface?
The air pressure decreases the higher you go. This the reason that climbers hoping to reach the top of Mount Everest, carry air cylinders as the air is so thin.
What happens to pressure as the air rises in the troposphere?
Air pressure is simply the weight of the air above you. Air pressure falls with height because the higher you go up, the less air there is above you to weigh down on you.
What happens to gas particles when air leaks out in an inflated ball?
Gas particles travel from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure when air leaks out of an inflated ball.
What do air density and air pressure have in common?
At a given temperature, the higher the air density, the higher the air pressure.
What happens if pressure is higher inside than outside a toothpaste tube?
The tube will not contain lots of air
When higher in the air the air pressure what?
Air pressure starts to go away
As an airplane flies higher in the air what happens to the atmosphere outside the plane?
It gets thinner (the pressure drops) and colder.
Would the air pressure in the center of a hurricane be lower or higher than standard air pressure?
higher
