The act of inhaling is to create low pressure in the lungs, causing the air in the atmosphere to rush in as it is moving from a higher pressure (outside in the atmosphere) to the lower pressure (created in the lungs). However the fact that air does move into the lungs means that there is no net change in pressure.

What would happen if a balloon were to decrease suddenly?

If a balloon were to decrease suddenly in size, the air pressure inside the balloon would increase, potentially causing it to burst. The sudden decrease in volume would also cause the gas molecules inside the balloon to collide more frequently with the balloon walls, exerting more force on them.


What happens to the pressure in a bottle of water if you press the stopper at the top down farther?

Increasing the pressure on the stopper in a bottle of water will compress the air inside, which in turn increases the pressure. This will cause the pressure inside the bottle to rise. Conversely, releasing the stopper will decrease the pressure inside the bottle as the air expands.


How do pressure and temperature change inside earth as depth increase?

Does temperature affect the amount of air in a football?

Yes, temperature can affect the pressure of the air inside a football. When the temperature increases, the air molecules inside the football expand, causing an increase in pressure. Conversely, a decrease in temperature can result in a decrease in pressure. It is important to regulate and adjust the pressure of the football accordingly to maintain proper inflation levels.


How can air pressure be changed?

Using the equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 we find there are two variables we might influence in order to change the pressure of a gas. (P=pressure, V=volume, T=temperature in degrees Kelvin) By increasing or decreasing the temperature of the bottle, you can increase or decrease the pressure within. If the bottle is made of a flexible material, like plastic, you can apply pressure to the bottle. By either squeezing the bottle or increasing atmospheric pressure outside, you deform the bottle and decrease it's volume. Since the quantity of gas inside the bottle is constant, the decrease in volume increases the pressure. Likewise to decrease the pressure in a sealed flexible bottle, you can decrease air pressure outside.

Why does the air pressure in your lungs to decrease and makes you inhale?

When you inhale, the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, expanding the chest cavity. This expansion increases the volume of the lungs, causing a decrease in air pressure within them. Air moves from an area of higher pressure (outside the body) to an area of lower pressure (inside the lungs), resulting in inhalation.


Do you in hale or exhale when the volume of the chest cavity increases?

The air pressure in your chest cavity increases when you are exhaling. For air to leave your lungs, it must be at a higher pressure than the air outside. Your diaphragm pushes up against your chest cavity causing the space in your lungs to get smaller. If the volume decreases, the pressure has to rise. Don't believe me? start exhaling, then close your mouth. Your cheeks will puff out because the pressure inside is greater than the pressure outside.


What happens to the pressure inside the lungs as the volume of the thorax increase?

As your diaphragm expands, the pressure in your thoracic cavity decreases. Air rushes into the partial vacuum, and you inhale.


What would decrease the pressure inside a tank of helium gas?

decrease the temperature or increase the volume


What will happen to the pressure inside the container if the volume of a container of gas is reduced?

If the volume of a container of gas is reduced, the pressure inside the container will increase. This is because reducing the volume decreases the amount of space the gas molecules have to move around, leading to them colliding more frequently with the walls of the container, thus increasing the pressure.


What happens to the pressure inside the thorax when you exhale?

When you exhale, the pressure inside the thorax increases slightly due to the contraction of the diaphragm causing a decrease in thoracic volume. This increase in pressure helps to push air out of the lungs.


How does crushing a plastic bottle work on atmospheric pressure?

When you crush a plastic bottle, you decrease the volume inside the bottle. This increase in pressure (due to the decrease in volume) is what makes the bottle crush. The atmospheric pressure outside the bottle remains constant, causing the bottle to collapse under the increased pressure inside.


If the volume of a cylinder-piston arrangement containing a gas is increased by a factor of eight and the temperature is doubled the pressure inside the piston will by a factor of?

The pressure inside the piston will increase by a factor of 4. According to the ideal gas law, pressure is directly proportional to the temperature and inversely proportional to the volume. Doubling the temperature will double the pressure, and increasing the volume by a factor of 8 will decrease the pressure by a factor of 8. The net effect is a pressure increase of 2 * 8 = 4.


When the bottle is squeezed what happens to the volume of the air trapped inside the pen cap?

When the bottle is squeezed, the pressure inside the pen cap increases. This increase in pressure causes the air trapped inside the pen cap to compress, resulting in a decrease in volume.


How can you increase the air pressure inside a bag containing a group of air molicules?

You can increase the air pressure inside the bag by reducing the volume of the bag or adding more air molecules to it. This can be done by squeezing the bag to decrease its volume or blowing air into the bag to increase the number of air molecules present inside.


What is the pressure in a balloon?

The pressure inside a balloon is determined by factors such as the amount of air or gas in the balloon, the volume of the balloon, and the temperature of the air or gas inside. As more air or gas is added to the balloon, the pressure will increase. Conversely, if air or gas is released from the balloon, the pressure will decrease.


What gas law describes when adding gas to a balloon will cause the volume to decrease?

Boyle's Law describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. According to Boyle's Law, when adding gas to a balloon, the volume will decrease if the pressure inside the balloon increases.
