Why doesn't a closed paper bag collapse under weight of earths atmosphere?
There is air pressure in that bag too
Why doesn't a closed air bag collapse under the weight of earths atmosphere?
The pressure inside the bag is the same as the pressure outside.
What would your weight b if earths mass were to be doubled?
Your weight would be double what it is now.
Atmospheric pressure is caused by what?
force = pressure x area , so pressure is force divided by area, air molecules stack up on top of each other and the force of them (caused by gravity and their mass ) weighs down with a pressure of 14.7 lbs/sq inch or 1 bar. As you go higher the stack is lower so the pressure drops until you get to space and it measures a vacuum.
Why don't you feel the weight of the air column that stretches from your head to the top of the atmosphere?
You don't feel the weight of the air column because the air pressure inside your body and the air pressure outside your body are equalized. This balance prevents you from feeling the weight of the column of air pressing down on you.
What is most responsible for the pressure in the earths atmosphere?
The weight.
Why is it you are able to get up from sunbathing if the weight of the atmosphere is resting on your body?
Because the weight is pressing on your entire body, from all directions at once, it doesn't press you toward the Earth. It's the same reason the weight of the water over them doesn't crush fish.
Which of these does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
The atmosphere exerts pressure on all objects and surfaces within it, including buildings, people, and the Earth's surface. This pressure is a result of the weight of air molecules above pressing down on objects below.
Is air pressure the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on earth?
Yes, air pressure is the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on Earth's surface due to the force of gravity pulling the air molecules towards the ground.
Why do your shoulders still have pressurs on them?
Its the weight of the atmosphere itself is constantly pressing on your body.
Why do we not feel the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on us?
We do not feel the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on us because our bodies are used to the constant pressure from the air around us. Our internal pressure matches the external pressure, so we don't perceive it as a sensation of weight.
Why do we not feel the weight of the atmosphere?
We do not feel the weight of the atmosphere because the pressure is evenly distributed on our bodies from all directions, so we don't perceive it as a force pushing down on us.
How much does earths atmosphere increase a person weight?
Earth's atmosphere actually decreases you weight, due to the minute effects of buoyancy with the air. Even though there are tons and tons of atmosphere on us, the preasure is balanced by the internal pressure within our bodies, just like with fish in deep water that have tons and tons of water pressing in on them. The average different that the air has on us is about 40-55 grams (or .09 - .12 lbs).
Why does air pressure becomes lower as water molecules are added to the air?
Air pressure is the weight of the air at a specific location. On the surface of the earth, we have the entire weight of the atmosphere pressing on us in the form of air molecules like O2, N2, and CO2. As we go higher and higher into the atmosphere, there are fewer molecules and so there is less weight pressing against us.
Why doesn't a closed paper bag collapse under weight of earths atmosphere?
There is air pressure in that bag too
What percentage of the earths atmosphere is made up of argon?
Argon makes up about 0.93% of Earth's atmosphere by volume, which is equivalent to around 0.04% by weight.
What is a barometer used to measure?
the weight of the air pressing down on the earths surface is known as air pressure.this pressure is measured using a barometer
