Would you expect the the pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air?
water is more dense than air and it has atmospheric pressure also pushing down on it to make it have greater pressure than air.
The force on an area from the push of air is called?
The measure of the force exerted by air molecules on a surface per unit area is air pressure.
Is air pressure a noun?
Yes. The term is a compound noun, and both air and pressure are nouns. Air pressure is the measure of the force exerted by the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on the Earth.
The measure of force with which the air molecules are pushing on a surface?
it is AIR PRESSURE
What happens to the pressure as the density of air decreses?
As air density decreases, the pressure it exerts decreases, but the pressure exerted on it increases.Remember the equation:PV=nRTAnd since n=mass/molar mass,P=nRT/D, density and pressure exerted ON the system have an inverse relationship--as one increases, the other decreases
Air pressure exerted equally on an object from different directions is?
Balanced Pressure
Air pressure exerted equally on an object from different directions is what?
balanced pressure
What is the force exerted by air in all directions?
The force exerted by air in all directions is called air pressure. It is caused by the collisions of air molecules with surfaces. Air pressure is exerted equally in all directions and decreases as altitude increases.
What Air pressure exerted equally on an object from different directions is what type of pressure?
constant pressure
In which direction is air pressure?
Air pressure is exerted in all directions.
Air pressure exerted equally on an object from different directions is what 1. balanced pressure 2. gravitational pressure 3. fluid pressure 4. constant pressure?
1. balanced pressure
What direction is air pressure exerted in?
In all directions.
In which direcion is air pressure exerted?
The air pressure is exerted in the direction of the air flow. But this is subjected to the Boyle's law. So Boyle's law is correct. You have add the force exerted by the speed of the air to it.
Which direction does air pressure push in?
All directions, just like water when you are diving. That is why chocolate-covered cream cakes (and a lot of other stuff) stay together at atmospheric air pressures, but will explode in vacuum, or why water will boil at lower temperatures on high mountains.
What causes fluid pressure?
A= actually its fluid pressure and fluid pressure is any kind of fluid(gas,liquid,air,are all fluid. Fluid Pressure is any fluid that is exerted on the surface, to calculate fluid pressure divide the force by the area over which it is applied.
Air pressure is the force exerted by?
air
The force exerted by the weight of a column of air on a surface is called?
Air Pressure The force exerted by the air above is called?
