Why aren't organism on the seafloor crushed by water pressure?
Pressure on the inside is the same as the pressure on the outside. No different from why doesn't the air pressure of 15 psi not squeeze us flat.
How does air pressure act on car tier?
air pressure helps on the inside of a tire but on the outside it does not usually help. as an observation if you get a flat tire and put air inside the tire it gives pressure on the inside were the hole is but if it is on the outside and lets say a pipe rolls down the highway and it hits your tire air pressure helps it make a hole in it or make it flat.
What does the symbol with an exclamation point inside mean?
caution.. usually you have a flat tire or low air pressure.
Why aren't we crushed by the atmosphere?
Equal pressure in and outIf the outward pressure inside your body were not equal to the pressure pressing in on you, you would be crushed faster than an empty aluminum beer can at a frat party. Try this experiment at home. It's pretty safe if you're not a maniac or an idiot.Find an old empty gallon can, a squarish one that paint thinner or turpentine comes in. Make sure its empty! Put an ounce or two of water in it. Put the can on the stove and heat it up until the water boils. Do this with the cap off!!! When the water boils, it will produce steam. When you see the steam coming out the top, screw the cap on. Don't burn yourself; use mitts. Let it cook for a few more seconds, not too long, tho. Then, using oven mitts, grab the can by the handle and quickly place it in the sink and run cold water over it. Watch what happens. Keep your hands away from it, tho. You don't want to get pinched.What happened? Well, when you quenched the can in the sink, the steam that had been filling the volume inside the can condensed, creating a vacuum -- an empty space -- inside the can. That created a low pressure in there. In other words, the pressure inside the can was much less then the pressure outside the can, creating a large pressure differential, causing the can to implode.A:well this is simple i may be young and not know alot but the fluids inside your body exert an equal amount of force all around you, thus actimg on the atmosphereic pressure and neutrilizing the effect (some of this may not be correct)A:Consider this, the atmospheric pressure of Jupiter is 90 times that of earth, that would crush a car absolutely flat. the reason why you do not collapse under atmospheric pressure is because our bodies have aclimatized over million of years ever since life started evolving here on earth. Our bodies have an upper and lower threshold of pressure which our bodies can withstand.A:Because your body exerts the same pressure outwards. That's why you need a pressurised suit to go into space - or to deep parts of the ocean. The pressurised suit stops your body exploding (in space) or collapsing (underwater)
What is the maximum depth a water spill will be on a flat surface?
Any, depending on the volume of water spilt and the area of the flat surface. The specific height is also constrained by the surface tension of the water, the atmospheric pressure above it, and the gravity below it.
Does the air pressure inside a basketball affect how high the basketball bounces the hypothesis?
Yes. A full basketball with medium to high pressure will clearly bounce higher than a flat basketball with low pressure.
Why does a flat basketball seem inflated when warmed?
Because the heat causes the air inside the basketball to expand, which increases the pressure in the ball.
Why is the atmospheric pressure in Ireland greater than in Mexico?
It depends on altitude. Coastal cities tend to have the same atmospheric pressure, such as Belfast and Veracruz. However, as Ireland is almost flat while Mexico has mountain ranges, some cities have a great value disparity. One example is Mexico City, with an elevation of 2,240 meters (7,349 feet) above sea level.
What is heavier inflated tire or flat tire?
An inflated tire is generally heavier than a flat tire due to the air pressure inside it. The air adds weight, so when a tire is fully inflated, it contains more mass compared to when it is flat. However, the difference in weight is relatively small, as the air inside the tire is not very dense.
A tank with a flat bottom is filled with water to a height of 4 meters. What is the pressure at any point at the bottom of the tank (You can ignore atmospheric pressure when calculating your answer.)?
Ignoring atmospheric pressure, overall pressure is equivalent to the specific weight of the liquid times the depth. Water has a density of 1 kg/m3 and gravity has a force of 9.81 m/s2. So specific weight = density * gravity = 9.81 kg/m2s2. When multiplied by 4 meters, the answer is 39.24 Pascal's. (1 Pascal = 1kg/ms2).
Why are tennis balls packaged in pressurized cans?
The canister is actually pressurized to balance the pressure inside the container with the pressure inside the tennis balls. This will prevent the balls from going flat. The pressure inside the balls is 12 psi over the normal air pressure (for comparison, the pressure in a car tire might be something like 32 psi). The rubber shell of a tennis ball isn't enough by itself to keep the ball bouncing high, so the pressurized air inside the ball makes it springier. Even though the rubber shell may seem impermeable to air, it isn't. It slowly lets out air until the pressure inside the ball equals the air pressure around it. The pressurized can prevents this from happening until it's opened.
Why does the air in a balloon pass through the balloon into the surrounding air when it goes flat?
Pressure. You are describing a blow-up balloon, not a hot-air balloon. In a blow-up balloon, you put a lot of air in it and it is under pressure. It is under more pressure than the air around it. That means the air inside is pushing to get out. Actually, to be technical, the air on both sides is happy to go to the other side, if possible, but the pressure causes more air to leave than comes in. Once the air starts to leave, the pressure goes down and the balloon deflates. Once the pressure is the same inside and out, it will look flat.
