Why is water a fluid that flows from high pressure to low pressure?

Think of it this way. Somethings got to stop some time correct? If it has no more pressure behind it, or less, then its going to slow down. The pressure will get lower and lower.

What creates lift on an airplane?
Bernoullis principle says that as a liquid's flow rate increases the pressure of the fluid decreases (think of your thumb on a garden hose) When air ( fluid) flows over a wingsurface the shape of the wing directs the air to travel a greater distance, and its speed is decreased. The pressure difference below the wing (higher) relative to the pressure above the wing (lower pressure) creates lift as high pressure areas move to low pressure areas in an attempt to restore equilibrium
Which one has high vapour pressure water or alcohol?
alcohol has high vapour pressure than water at room temperature.
Is high or low pressure cold?
If you mean to ask if cold bodies of water are associated with high or low atmospheric pressure, they aren't. Atmospheric pressure can change independently of the temperature of bodies of water.
How high a column of water will a water pressure of 60psi support?
172.3 feet
Does a sea breeze have low or high air pressure?
It depends on the salt content of the water. (low air pressure=high salt content, high air pressure=low salt content) jks
What fluids flow?
a fluid naturally flows from an area of the high pressure to an are of low pressure.
Which way does a fluid flow in places where pressure is different?
It flows from high pressure are to low pressure area.
How a pressure difference is responsible for the movement of air?
The pressure pushes it around depending on how high or low the air pressure is.ANSWERAir moves from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. If you have a water balloon and you squeeze it, the area where your fingers are is similar to a high pressure zone. The water then flows away from your fingers to the lower pressure areas of the balloon. That is how air flows in the atmosphere. Things such as humidity and temperature differences cause the different pressure zones, and the air flows from high pressure areas to lower pressure ones.
Why Cerebrospinal fluid under pressure in the spinal canal?
Cerebral spinal fluid is supposed to provide nutrition to the brain and spinal cord. It is secreted from the arteries and drains into the veins. That is how the blood flows. From high pressure arteries to low pressure veins. In between the fluid goes to interstitial compartment. Here the spinal fluid is like the interstitial compartment.
What does high pressure move towards?
Air always flows from High Pressure towards Low Pressure. Wind is caused by the pressure gradient difference. In a high pressure system, within the Northern Hemisphere, air flows clockwise, outwards and downwards; in a low pressure system (in the NH), air flows anti-clockwise, inwards and upwards.
How would a fluid with a high solute concentration affect osmotic pressure when compared to water?
Fluid with a high solute concentration would be hyper-osmotic compared to water, and thus would be expected to exert osmotic pressure if separated from pure water with a semipermeable membrane.
What is a high spinal fluid pressure?
Normal spinal fluid pressure is 12
When you want to set up a water tank why do you put it higher than your house?
because the water flows much faster this way and the water pressure is high
Does it move from an area of high pressure to low pressure or low pressure to high pressure?
A fluid will move from high pressure to low pressure.
Winds are generated when air flows from a high pressure area into a what?
low pressure area.
Does deep sea have high air pressure or high water pressure?
High water pressure.
Electrical current flows from a state of rest to a high pressure state?
False. Electrical current flows from a high pressure state (called hot) to a state of rest (called ground or neutral).
