How is the force you apply by pushing on a rock different from the force of gravity on the rock?
Pushing requires energy
What does a force that shapes the earths surface by building up mountains and landmasses?
It's the tectonic plates pushing against each other, forcing the land upwards.
What is the area under the surface where rocks and soil are saturated with water?
The water is much stronger than underneath the surface it has more FORCE!!!!!
How hydraulics machine work as a magnifier?
A piston with a small surface area, is used to push fluid through a pipe, to a piston with a large surface area.The force used to push the small piston, will be divided into the larger surface area of the second piston.The larger piston will move a smaller amount, but will have more force, proportional to the difference in sizes.
Is the force of the water on the piers the same at the water surface as it is m below the surface?
no, it's not the same, there is more force below the surface, because it will have the force of the whole bridge and the force of the things on the bridge.
What force is pushing on a surface or area?
Pressure.
The measure of the force which air molecules push on a surface?
You're looking for "air pressure", but you haven't described it correctly.The pressure is not the force pushing on the surface.It's the (force pushing on the surface) divided by the (area of the surface).
What is the name of the force pushing on a surface divided by the area of that surface?
is go to google anyone can type on here
The measure of force with which the air molecules are pushing on a surface?
it is AIR PRESSURE
One force affecting an object is air pressure which is?
One force that affects and object is air pressure which is the force pushing on an area or surface.
What is the force of pushing on a surface divided by the area of that surface?
This is usually expressed as weight or force per square area. In imperial measure (USA) pounds per square inch In Metric KG/meter2
Normal force is supplied by what?
A surface pushing up, equal and opposite to a force pushing against it
What is The force pushing on a surface divided by the area of that suface?
Pressure. (Note that the force must be perpendicular to the surface.) Pressure can my measured in Pascals (N/m2), psi (pounds/in2), atmospheres, or a few other units.
Does the frictional force depend on the area of surface contact?
No. Frictional force is independant of surface area.
What quantity is divide by the surface area?
The quantity that is divided by the surface area is force. Force divided by surface area is equal to pressure.
What is the force on a surface divided by the area of that surface?
The force that is exerted on a surface divided by the area of the area is pressure. The standard unit of pressure is the Pascal.
What is the measure of the force with which air molecules are pushing on the Earth's surface?
Air Pressure
