The force of air pushing down?
You might have expected the result to be pressure, but it's not. Pressure occurs due to the bombardment of air molecules on a surface. The weight of a column of air causes so little pressure that it can be considered negligible.
Why doesnt air pressure crush objects?
There is air pressure on all sides, inside or outside. The air pressure pushes on the object all ways and nothing falls. If you only apply pressure on the bottom then the object will lift. If you apply pressure on the top, the object will collapse. If air pressure is pushing side ways, the object will move sideways.
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")
Weight of air pressing down?
Air pressure.
What is the name of the air pressing down on us?
Air pressure
What is a low-pressure system and what is a high-pressure system?
The difference is that Low air pressure has less air molecules pushing down in one area and high air pressure has more air molecules pushing down in one area.
What is the difference between a high-pressure system and A low pressure system?
The difference is that Low air pressure has less air molecules pushing down in one area and high air pressure has more air molecules pushing down in one area.
What is the difference between high-pressure system and a low-pressure system?
The difference is that Low air pressure has less air molecules pushing down in one area and high air pressure has more air molecules pushing down in one area.
What is the weight of air pushing down?
the answer is air pressure
What does high air pressure?
air pressure is the amount of air pushing down on you and high pressure is air that rises.
Why does air pressure increase at lower altitudes?
Air pressure increases at lower altitudes because there is more air above pushing down on the air below. This higher pressure near the ground is due to the weight of the air column above pushing down on it. As you move higher up in altitude, there is less air above pushing down, resulting in lower air pressure.
Where air pushing down with less pressure it is three words?
lower air pressure
Does the air push down on you when it it high pressure?
The air is always pushing down on you, just slightly more under high pressure. You don't notice it because we've evolved to counter this downward force with an outward force of our own.
Air pressure is greatest because there are more molecules of air pushing down from above?
Yes, air pressure is greatest at sea level because the weight of the air above is pressing down with more force. As you go higher in altitude, the number of air molecules above you decreases, causing lower air pressure.
What is a force that results from a coloumn of air pushing down?
atmospheric pressure
Make a sentence with the word air pressure?
A force that is the result of the weight of a column of air pushing down on an area, that is air pressure.
How does temperature affect air density and air pressure?
When altitude rises, the air pressure and density both decrease. When temperature rises that means that more air is pushing down on it. So this means that the air pressure and density rise when temperature rises.
