The pressure inside a Bourdon tube pressure gauge causes the tube to straighten. As the internal pressure increases, it exerts force on the curved shape of the tube, causing it to uncoil or straighten out. This movement is then translated into a pointer movement on the gauge dial, indicating the pressure level.

How do moving molecules cause pressure inside a cylinder of butane?

Moving molecules in a cylinder of butane collide with the walls of the cylinder, creating a force per unit area known as pressure. The more molecules and the faster they are moving, the higher the pressure inside the cylinder.


What would happen to a balloon heated up?

Heating up a balloon will cause the air inside it to expand, which will increase the pressure inside the balloon. If the pressure exceeds the balloon's strength, it will pop or burst.


Which change would cause a freely moving piston to lower?

Increasing the pressure inside the piston cylinder would cause the piston to lower since the higher pressure pushes down on the piston.


Is there inert gas inside a thermometer?

No. The tube inside a thermometer is vacuum. If there was a gas inside, the pressure changes due to temperature changes would cause the liquid inside to expand/contract unevenly.


Air pressure inside the funnel cloud of a tornado is extremely what?

The air pressure inside the funnel cloud of a tornado is extremely low. The pressure can be significantly lower than the surrounding air, which contributes to the destructive nature of tornadoes as it can cause buildings to implode and objects to be lifted and thrown.


Why your eardrum burst outwardly in space?

In space, there is no air pressure to balance the pressure inside your ears. If the pressure inside your ear is significantly higher than the pressure outside, it can cause your eardrum to burst outwardly. This can happen if you hold your breath and strain, as the air in your lungs builds up pressure and pushes against the eardrum.


Why did your ears pop during a tornado?

Your ears pop when air pressure changes. The pressure inside a tornado is much lower than its surroundings.

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 differences in air pressure cause a liquid to flow through the straw and into your mouth?

The pressure inside your mouth is less than the atmosperehic pressure above the glass. The water is pushed through the straw by this difference in pressure.
