But if you consider a solid rather than a liquid or gas, then pressure can definitely be directional. A car jack exerts pressure upwards to lift the car and a pressure downwards on the ground beneath it

∙ 13y agoAir expands to the container it is in. The container the air is in is the atmosphere. The air expands evenly in the container, so the pressure is applied evenly. However, because of the weight of air, more pressure is applied when closer to the ground then when higher up.

∙ 11y agoBy definition a liquid is a substance which fills the container in which it is placed. Pressure equals force divided by area. Force equals mass times acceleration. Therefore liquids exert pressure in all directions due to gravity acting on the fluid molecules which results in a force on the walls of the container in which the liquid fills.

Why do some traffic cams say low pressure?
Weather proof cameras are pressurized to help keep dust and stuff out.
How liquid exerts lateral pressure?
Simple idea: All objects are made of atoms and/or molecules. The molecules in a liquid move at random directions. some of them move vertically, and some horizontally. Most of them, however, move in a combination of the two. To make the answer more simple, the horizontal components of the motion of the molecules collide with a lateral direction with the object (submarine, diver, container wall, etc). The collision between the molecule and the object exerts a lateral force, which acts on an area. Hence lateral pressure is applied.
Is the intensity of incandescent lamp equal in all directions?
Apart from the directions obsured by the base, then very nearly so. Depends in some ways on the details of manufacture.
Why does the upper radiator hose have no pressure?
Under normal circumstances it will have some pressure just less than the bottom hose. The bottom hose is directly pressurized by the water pump while the upper hose acts as a return hose to keep the water flowing through the engine block. If there is no pressure you could be low on radiator fluid (water/anti freeze mixed) or have a thermostat stuck open.
What causes some winds to be strong and some winds to be weak?
pressure gradient forces high in low pressure areas?
Why do some traffic cams say low pressure?
Weather proof cameras are pressurized to help keep dust and stuff out.
What is the function of the coelomic fluid?
The coelomic fluid acts as a hydrostatic skeleton in some organisms, such as annelids. The pressure of the fluid is used to produce movement, such as burrowing. It is also important for osmoregulation and circulation.
Why does air pressure push on objects in all directions?
The natural tendency of air pressure is to equalize itself; without some kind of barrier or force at work, air pressure simply balances out, or spreads out. The world would be very strange if this were not so.
What is the Coelom function?
Coelomic fluid, in some organisms, acts like a hydrostatic skeleton. The pressure from the fluid aids in osmoregulation and circulation.

What was some of the issues in rabbit proof fence?
They are rabbit proof.
Are bullet proof vests stab proof?
The standard bullet proof vest is not stab proof, however there are some bullet proof vests that are. These stab-proof vests have a wire mesh on the outside, or a similar material.
What are some tips when using maps for driving directions?
Some tips when using maps for driving directions are making a route plan, driving with a companion and drawing pinpoints on a map. Maps can be useful for driving directions.
How do you get directions as a list and not by map?
If you go to MapQuest and some other similar sites you can get directions on a map and in words.
What is blade play?
"Blade play" refers to the amount of movement a blade has once a pocket knife is open. Ideally a blade should not move at all, even when pressure is applied in varying directions. Some knives, such as out-the-fronts, invariably have some play.
Is it true that a gas exerts pressure continuously and in all directions on the walls of a vessel in which it is contained?
in some sense yep , coz gas molecules are always moving around on the other hand solid moleculs are the opposite
What were some prejudice acts in the 1930S?
Some of the prejudice acts of the 1930's were when Hitler was beating and killing the Jews.
