What is the space that a gas takes up called?
The space that a gas takes up is called its volume.
What is the force that pushes up on an object in a liquid?
That force is bouyancy. Bouyancy is also present in a gas, but its effects are usually negligible except on objects with very low densities.
How does pressure exerted by a solid object on a surface differ from pressure exerted within a liquid or gas?
In a liquid or gas the pressure at any given point is the same in all directions. In a solid the pressure can vary depending on direction. So, for example, the vertical pressure can be greater or less than the horizontal pressure.
The amount of space that gas takes up is its?
volume Depends on it's pressure and temperature - see the Gas Laws
Which measurement describes the pressure of gas?
the force of the atmosphere on the earth's surface Answer by FutureLPGAgolferForce per unit area.The amount of force acting on a unit mass. The equation is pressure is force divide by area.Pressure is the amount of Force per unit area.
Why does the pressure exerted by a gas does not depend on the type of gas?
The pressure that the gas exerts on the walls of any vessel has to do with the force that the particles of gas were exerted as a consequence of their very own kinetic energy. That helps know why the gas does not have to depend on the type of gas.
What is the force exerted by a gas on its container?
Pressure
What is the upward force that is exerted by a gas or liquid called?
well The upward force of a liquid or gas on an object is called
What is the measure of the force exerted by a gas above a liquid?
vapor pressure
What is pressure?
is the force exerted on a given area
Why does the pressure exerted by a gas does not depend on the type of the gas?
The pressure that the gas exerts on the walls of any vessel has to do with the force that the particles of gas were exerted as a consequence of their very own kinetic energy. That helps know why the gas does not have to depend on the type of gas.
States that the amount of pressure exerted by a gas in a mixture is proportional to the percentage of the gas in the mixture?
Dalton's law
What causes pressure in a container?
The kinetic theory states that gas pressure is the force exerted by gas molecules impacting on the sides of the container.
What is the effect of changing the amount of gas in a container?
It is the force of pressure of the gas
How does increasing the number of particles of a contained gas it's pressure?
Pressure is defined as the force per unit area applied. This force is derived from the collision of particles. Pressure increase when this force is increase, and it applies otherwise too. By increasing the number of particles in a specific amount of gas, there are more particles colliding onto the container. This causes the force per unit exerted by the gas on the container to increase. As such, when one increases the number of particles within a container of gas, the pressure within the container will increase.
What is Bjerknes force?
Bjernkes force is exerted on a gas bubble when the gas bubble is in a liquid, is subjected to an acoustic pressure field, and undergoes volume pulsations. If the acoustic pressure gradient is not zero, it can couple with the bubble oscillation to produce a translational force on the bubble. This force is known as the primary Bjerknes force.
What would increase the pressure of gas?
Options: -- Force more gas into the same container. -- Force the same amount of gas into a smaller container. -- Heat the gas.
