Why Given that the air pressure outside your body is so great why aren't you crushed?
Pressure inside your body balances the air pressure outside your body.
Why doesnt air pressure crush an empty soda can sitting on a table in your house?
Because the air pressure INSIDE the can is the same as the air pressure OUTSIDE the can !
Why does a sealed empty tin can collapse when the air inside the can is pumped out?
Because the air pressure is 15 lb per square inch, so when you take the air out, there is no pressure inside, so the pressure outside the can crushes it.
Why does air come out of a bicycle tire when you open the valve even if the valve is pointing up?
Because the air inside the tire is under pressure. Gas always flows from a region of higher pressure to a region of lower pressure. As the pressure inside the tire is greater than the pressure outside, the air always comes out of the bicycle tyre.
Is the pressure of a balloon greater on the inside or outside?
It's greater on the outside until it rises to a point in the atmosphere where the air is very thing. At that point, the pressure inside the balloon is greater which causes it to pop.
The air pressure inside the can compare to the air pressure outside the can equal lower or higher?
There is no difference of the average local air pressure inside or outside of the headphone.
What is the air pressure inside a papper bag?
The air pressure is the same, inside or outside the paper bag.
Why Given that the air pressure outside your body is so great why aren't you crushed?
Pressure inside your body balances the air pressure outside your body.
If the pressure inside the lungs decreases outside air is pushed into the airways by what?
The pressure inside the lungs decreases as the ribcage moves out and up. Air from outside basically gets pushed in by other air molecules due to the pressure gradient (air moves from a high pressure to a low pressure)
Why doesn't air pressure crush an empty soft drink can as you go down a mountain?
because the pressure is the same on the outside and inside of can making the can staying the same and not being crushed
Is air pressure inside a building high or low?

How does air pressure act on car tier?
air pressure helps on the inside of a tire but on the outside it does not usually help. as an observation if you get a flat tire and put air inside the tire it gives pressure on the inside were the hole is but if it is on the outside and lets say a pipe rolls down the highway and it hits your tire air pressure helps it make a hole in it or make it flat.
What is the air pressure inside a hurricane?
Air pressure inside a hurricane is low typically less than 995 millibars (normal sea level pressure is 1013 millibars). Stronger hurricanes generally have a lower central pressure.
What Happens if a Plane Goes Higher Than it's Designed To?
As the air pressure outside the aircraft decreases, & the air pressure inside the aircraft remains the same, it remains very high inside the aircraft in comparison to the outside, so in the end, the fuselage will explode apart, because the air pressure outside is not enough to counter act it & push against the force of the air pressure inside the aircraft which is pushing outwards.
Is air pressure inside a tornado is lower than outside a tornado?
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that outside the tornado. That is why the wind blows toward the funnel.
