When you go higher up does the air pressure get higher or lower?
Increasing altitude decreases air pressure. In other words, they are an inverse relationship -- as one goes up, the other goes down. This is why when low-altitude dwellers like along the coastlines travel to mountainous areas, they find it harder to breathe; the air is just thinner at high altitude.
Explain why a helium weather balloon expands as it rises in the air Assume that the temperature remains constant?
When the helium balloon starts gaining height, the pressure decreases and as the gas molecules are very freely movable (higher than the normal). They move apart from each other in the mean while they make the balloon to expand. The decrease in atmospheric pressure relative to pressure inside the balloon causes it to expand.
Is sand heavier than silt?
Sand is generally heavier than silt because sand particles are larger and more dense than silt particles. The larger size and higher density of sand particles make them weigh more than silt particles.
As you get closer to the Earth the air pressure decreases or increases?
in order to make things clear, I would like to explain how is the pressure measured and what does it mean... pressure is the force (weight) exerted by an object on a specific area. and by this we can define the atmospheric pressure as the weight of the column of air ,that extends from earth to the exosphere; the upper limit of our atmosphere, divided by the area. now by increasing the length of that column (and consequently increase the weight) we increase the pressure,and the same thing can be applied when decreasing the length.
How do water temperatures affect air pressure?
The lower the pressure then the lower the temperature that is required to make it boil. Water at the top of Mount Everest boils well below 100 degrees centigrade due to the lower atmospheric pressure.
Why do big strings make low sounds Why do small strings make higher sounds?
The smaller the surface area the higher the pressure so vice versa
What effect does pressure have on a bottle rocket?
it pushes the rocket into the air to make it go higher.
How can you make water boil at a higher temp than 100 C?
By increasing the pressure on the water, you can raise its boiling point above 100°C. This can be achieved in a pressure cooker, where the increased pressure allows the water to reach a higher temperature before boiling.
Which chambers make up a persons blood pressure?
Blood pressure is not made up of chambers. Blood pressure measurements include the systolic number, indicating the higher pressure when the ventricles contract, and the diastolic pressure, the pressure when the ventricles relax.
Can air pressure in a bottle stop you from blowing up a balloon in it?
Yes, if the air pressure in the bottle is higher than the pressure you are exerting to blow up the balloon, it can make it difficult or impossible to blow up the balloon inside the bottle. The higher air pressure in the bottle will resist the expansion of the balloon.
Why filling a bucket from downstairs tap fills faster?
The larger the height difference between a point in a liquid and its surface (AKA the deeper it is), the more the pressure exerted at that point. To make it easy to visualize, imagine you are in a swimming pool. You get a feeling of being squeezed when you are under the water. The deeper you get (that is, the further you are from the surface), the stronger that squeeze is. That squeeze you feel is pressure. Whatever your setup is, whether you take the water from the city main pipeline or you have your own water tank or water pump, the idea is the same. The downstairs tap is "deeper" than the upstairs tap, i.e. it experiences more pressure. Since the larger pressure means a larger force, the water in the downstairs tap experiences a larger force, so more water can come out of that tap.
Why does air pressure make your ears hurt on an airplane?
When you climb higher the air pressure changes and the pressure inside of you hasn't changed so the pressure makes your ears hurt. After a while the pressure balances out and your ears wont hurt. That is why cabins are pressurized to help reduced pain from pressure difference.
Is the boiling temperature higher or lower when you use a lid?
If the lid is tight enough to raise the pressure in the pan (as in a pressure cooker), the boiling temperature will be higher. However, if the lid just sits loosely on top, it will make the water boil sooner because not as much heat is lost and the water heats up faster.
To earn a higher interest rate what trade off will you likely have to make?
A money market account is an account that earns a higher rate of interest when you carry a larger balance, resulting from large deposits.
What is the independent variable Will more air in a basketball make it bounce higher?
Yes it will because the pressure in the ball will push it up and down
Why does low pressure make a hurricane stronger?
In simple terms, wind is driven by pressure differences. A larger pressure difference over a given distance will produce a larger force on the air and thus create faster winds. As with most storms, air pressure in a hurricane is lower than that of its surroundings. Lowering the pressure in a hurricane creates a larger pressure difference and thus stronger winds.
What weather does a cumulonimbus cloud make?
Stormy! Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with extreme weather such as heavy torrential downpours, hail storms, lightning and tornados
