The measure of the force due to air pressing on a surface is called the force.
If you divide that by the area of the surface, then you have the pressure.

The measure of the force with which air molecules are pushing on the Earth's surface?
This force is called atmospheric pressure, the force is measured per unit area because the bigger the area the more molecules hit. It is 14.7 pounds per square inch ("psi")
What is the name to measure the force to move an object along a surface?
Force - Meter
What is the force called the resists the movement of one surface past another surface called?
I'm not sure if you are talking about friction or not. Does this force produce heat? Friction, I think
What molecular attraction causes surface of the water to curve inside a glass?
The force of adhesion between water and glass molecules is greater than the force of cohesion between two water molecules.This causes the surface of the water to be curved. This curved surface is called a meniscus.
If water spreads out on a glass plate is this an example or cohesive or adhesive force?
Both, the water molecules are cohesive to each other, and the outer water molecules are adhesive to the table surface.
The measure of force with which the air molecules are pushing on a surface?
it is AIR PRESSURE
What measures the force that air molecules uses to push on a surface?
The measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface is air pressure. An instrument that is used to measure air pressure is a barometer.
What is the measure of the force with which air molecules are pushing on the Earth's surface?
Air Pressure
What is the measure of the force with which air molecules are pushing on the earth surface?
Air Pressure
What is the measure of the force with which air molecules are pushing on earth surface?
Air Pressure
The force on an area from the push of air is called?
The measure of the force exerted by air molecules on a surface per unit area is air pressure.
What is the measure of the force with whicn air molecules push on a surface?
What is normally used here is not a force, but a force per unit area; this is called pressure. The SI unit for pressure is the pascal.
What measures the forces that air molecules used to push on the surface?
The measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface is air pressure. An instrument that is used to measure air pressure is a barometer.
What is the measure of the force with which air molecules push on the surface?
air pressureair presureAir Pressure
What does airpressure mean?
Air Pressure means the measure of the force with which air molecules pushed on a surface.
The measure of the force which air molecules push on a surface?
You're looking for "air pressure", but you haven't described it correctly.The pressure is not the force pushing on the surface.It's the (force pushing on the surface) divided by the (area of the surface).
How is measured air pressure?
Air pressure is the measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface.
