Oh, isn't that just a fascinating thought? The air pressure around us is usually about 14.7 pounds per square inch at sea level. It's like a gentle hug from Mother Nature, supporting us and keeping everything in balance. Just take a moment to appreciate how the world around us works together in harmony.

What is the weight of air of the atmosphere pressing down on earth?
Well, isn't that an interesting question! The weight of the air in our atmosphere pressing down on Earth is about 14.7 pounds per square inch at sea level. It's like a gentle hug from nature, always surrounding us and keeping everything in balance. Just imagine all the beautiful landscapes and creatures that thrive under this gentle pressure.
When you drive down a mountain what makes your ears experience those uncomfortable sensations?
Your ears pop on a mountain when there's a difference in air pressure between your inner ear and the air outside. The air in your inner ear exchanges pretty slowly. And since the air is much thinner at the top of the mountain than it is near the bottom, if you go down quickly enough (like by driving) the pressures can't equalize gradually. The higher pressure air at the bottom of the mountain presses on your eardrums until they "pop" and the pressure equalizes. That can hurt!
A sound that is perceived as twice as loud requires how much intensity?
Scroll down to related links and look at "Sound level change and the change of the respective factor of volume / loudness, sound pressure / sound intensity".
How much pressure to crush a car?
about 5000 thousand mm.
What is kilopascal absolute?
A kilopascal is a thousand pascal - a unit of pressure. "Absolute" means the actual pressure - this is in contrast to measuring a pressure DIFFERENCE (usually, how much higher some pressure is, compared to atmospheric pressure).
How much air is pressing down on us?
The average air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) or 101.3 kilopascals (kPa). This pressure is due to the weight of the air molecules in the Earth's atmosphere above us pressing down on our bodies.
Does the pressure in the atmosphere increase or decrease?
Going farther up into air, pressure decreases. Going down, pressure increases. When you think about it, more air is pressing down on you when you are standing on earth because more is on top of you. When you are up in the air, there isn't as much air pressing on you which shows that there isn't as much pressure. The same concept applies when under water; The farther you go under, more water is pressing on you than when you are more towards the surface which=more pressure (underwater).
When deep sea fishes are brought up to the surface of the sea their bodies burst why?
The lower you go in the sea, the greater the water pressure, because of all the water above you, pressing down with its weight. To avoid being crushed by the water pressure, fish have an internal body pressure that is equal to that of the external water pressure. When the fish are raised to the surface rapidly, their internal pressure then is much greater than the air pressure, and it can cause their bodies to burst. If they are raised more slowly, the pressure has a chance to equalize. (Exactly the same reasoning to explain why an astronaut's body would burst if he forgot to get into his space suit before he stepped out on the veranda and began a space walk.)
How much air pressure is pushing up against your bodies?
15 lbs of air pressure
How much pressure is a human under on earth?
A human is under an average pressure of about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) at sea level on Earth due to the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on them. This pressure decreases at higher altitudes and increases underwater.
How much pressure do i put on the floor?
You should aim to distribute your weight evenly on both feet without excessively pressing down on the floor. It's important to maintain a relaxed posture to avoid strain on your muscles and joints. Listen to your body and adjust the pressure as needed for comfort and balance.
Why newborn blood pressure is lower than adults?
Newborns's bodies are alot smaller. It doesn't take much pressure to get around the body.
How much weight of air is pressing down on 1 square inch of the top of your head?
roughly 14.6 pounds
How much air is pressing on the human body?
The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch (14.7 psi)
What happens when you apply too much pressure on a touchscreen device?
Considering this question is marked as iOS, I will tell you that no iOS device is pressure sensitive. Instead, they are heat sensitive. This allows you to interact with the touchscreen without needing to press down hard. To answer your question, pressing down hard on your phone will not really make a difference, not unless you press hard enough to crack the screen open.
How do creatures bear high pressures in the oceans?
They have evolved to deal with it by exerting an equal amount of pressure outwards as the average amount of pressure that is pressing down on them from above. Humans have done the same, since we are bearing the weight of the entire atmosphere but never notice! Internally, we are exerting the same pressure outwards to balance it. Certainly this is not as much as at the bottom of the ocean, but without this mechanism we would be crushed.
How much pressure does water increase in a water line going down hill?
Pressure certainly does increase in a water line going down hill. This is because the weight of the water pulls it.
