What else can I help you with?
Is there more pressure in the Sahara desert or at the top of Mount Everest?
There is more atmospheric pressure in the Sahara Desert. The number of air molecules around us decrease as we go higher into the atmosphere, which also causes the air pressure to decrease. Since the Sahara Desert is closer to sea level than Mount Everest is, there are more air molecules and more pressure there.
Does the pulmonary artery have higher pressure than the pulmonary veins?
yes. because it pumps blood to the lungs.
Why do arteries have thicker walls then veins?
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
Why is the artery thicker than a vein?
the artery walls must be thick to withold the pressure of the blood coming right from the heart. veins don't need that thick of walls because there is not as much pressure farther away from where the heart is located
Is blood pressure the pressure of blood in the arteries?
Yes, blood pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted on your arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the body (systolic) over the pressure when your heart is relaxed (diastolic).
Why does pressure decrease with altitude?
Pressure decreases with altitude because as you go higher in the atmosphere, there are fewer air molecules above you exerting pressure downwards. This results in lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes.
Why can liquid boil at a low pressure?
Reducing the air pressure allows the molecules to escape
Is pressure higher or slower when molecules move faster or slower?
Pressure is higher when molecules move faster because they collide with the walls of the container more frequently and with greater force. Slower-moving molecules result in lower pressure as they collide less frequently and with less force.
Why would the top of a mountain have a low air pressure?
The higher you are in the atmosphere, the lower the air pressure. Seeing that the top of a mountain is quite high, the air pressure is low; the air is thinner. This is why you need oxygen tanks to reach the top of Mount Everest
Air pressure is greater at point?
At sea level, air pressure is greater compared to higher altitudes. This is because there is more atmosphere above pressing down on air molecules, creating higher pressure. As you ascend in altitude, the air pressure decreases due to the lower concentration of air molecules above.
What causes has pressure?
The answer depends on what kind of pressure. If you mean the pressure exerted by gasses on the walls of a container (a balloon, for example), pressure is created by the motion of the molecules of gas. Temperature and density of the molecules are factors. Higher density results in higher pressure. Higher temperature creates more molecular motion, thereby creating higher pressure.
What is the relationship between vapor pressure and boiling point?
Vapor pressure and boiling point are related because they both involve the escape of molecules from a liquid into the gas phase. As vapor pressure increases, so does the boiling point. This is because a higher vapor pressure means more molecules are escaping the liquid, which requires more energy and thus a higher temperature to maintain the liquid state.
What are Molecules closer to the surface are more densely packed than those higher in the atmosphere because of the mass of gases pressing down from higher in the atmosphere?
Yes, molecules closer to the surface experience higher pressure due to the weight of the air above them, making them more densely packed. As you move higher in the atmosphere, there are fewer molecules above exerting pressure, resulting in lower density.
What is molecules closer to the surface that are more densely packed than those higher in the atmosphere because of gases pressing down from higher in the atmosphere?
Atmospheric pressure
As altitude increases air pressure .?
As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. This is because there are fewer air molecules in the atmosphere at higher altitudes, leading to lower pressure.
How does pressure change as the distance from earth increases?
As distance from Earth increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases. This is because there are fewer air molecules present at higher altitudes, leading to lower pressure.
What is the relationship between the temperature and the pressure of gas?
If the temperature is low, then the molecules of the gas have less kinetic energy and thus it has low pressure. If the temperature is higher, then the molecules have more energy and thus the gas has higher pressure
