What happens to the pressure of the earth as depth below the surface increases?
the pressure decreases the pressure increases
How are atmospheric pressure and water pressure different?
Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of the air in the atmosphere, while water pressure is the force exerted by the weight of water in a body of water. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, while water pressure increases with depth. Atmospheric pressure is measured in units like atm or pascals, while water pressure is typically measured in units like pounds per square inch (psi) or pascals.
The force exerted by the weight of a column of air on a surface is called?
Air Pressure The force exerted by the air above is called?
Can solids cause pressure?
Yes, solids can exert pressure on the surfaces they come into contact with due to their weight or force applied. This pressure can vary depending on the amount of force exerted and the contact area with the surface.
What force put on a given area by the air above?
We know that force acting perpendicularly on an area is thrust & thrust acting on an unit area is called pressure. Pressure exerted by wind or air hasn't been classified individually,rather we all together say it atmospheric pressure. And it is nearly 100000 Pa. so we may say it as atmospheric pressure. -----Akashraj Ghosh, Kharagpur
What happens to pressure as the force on an exerted area increases?
As the force on an exerted area increases, pressure increases proportionally due to the equation Pressure = Force/Area. This means that the pressure will be higher when a greater force is applied over the same area.
How does pressure exerted by a solid object?
Pressure exerted by a solid object is calculated by dividing the force exerted by the object over the surface area on which it is applied. The formula is pressure = force / area. The pressure increases as the force increases or the surface area decreases.
If a constant force is spread over an area and that area gets smaller what happens?
If the force is spread over a smaller area, the pressure exerted by the force on that area increases. This is because pressure is force distributed over a given area. So, as the area decreases, the pressure exerted by the force increases.
What are the two ways pressure increases?
Pressure can increase due to an increase in the force exerted on a surface or a decrease in the surface area over which the force is distributed. This is described by the equation pressure = force/area.
When the area get larger the pressure?
Decreases. As the area over which a force is distributed increases, the pressure exerted by that force decreases. This relationship is described by the formula pressure = force/area.
What happens to pressure when force decreases?
If force decreases, pressure decreases as well. Pressure is directly proportional to force, so when force decreases, the pressure exerted by the force also decreases.
When there is a large force on small area how does it affect the pressure?
When a large force is applied to a small area, it increases the pressure exerted on that area. This is because pressure is defined as force per unit area. So, as the force increases or the area decreases, the pressure will also increase.
What happens to pressure when the force is bigger?
When the force applied to a given area increases, the pressure also increases. This relationship is described by the equation pressure = force/area, so if force increases and area remains constant, pressure will increase.
What is the force exerted by air in all directions?
The force exerted by air in all directions is called air pressure. It is caused by the collisions of air molecules with surfaces. Air pressure is exerted equally in all directions and decreases as altitude increases.
Why does pressure increases when force is exerted?
If the temperature of the gas is increased, the average kinetic energy of its molecules increases. Therefore, the molecules hit the wall "harder" and also more frequently. The total force due to the collisions is greater. Therefore the pressure increases.
As the pressure gradient increases wind velocity increase decrease or remains the same?
As the pressure gradient increases, the wind velocity increases. This is because a larger pressure gradient indicates a greater difference in pressure between two points, leading to a stronger force exerted on the air. This stronger force results in faster wind velocities.
When you exert force on a fluid in a closed container does the pressure increase decrease or remain constant?
When force is exerted on a fluid in a closed container, the pressure will increase. This is because pressure is directly proportional to the force applied to a fluid.
