Anything that touches something else puts pressure on the point of contact. In some cases, such as tapping a finger on paper or a gyroscope spinning on a flat surface, that pressure is light enough to be negligible.

Would the boiling point of water be higher or lower on a mountain peakhow would the boiling point be affected in a pressurized system?

The higher the pressure being exerted on the water, the lower the boiling point becomes. Yes the boiling point is affected in a pressurized system. If you put water in a sealed container and kept raising the pressure it will eventually reach it's boiling point without the need of adding heat.


What happens if I increase the pressure to solid water?

If you put pressure on ice it will melt.


What happens to a balloon's pressure when put into the fridge?

it dies


Can i put down pressure on the 5055e 3 point hitch?

Yes, you can apply down pressure on the 3-point hitch of a John Deere 5055E tractor, but this typically requires using specific attachments or implements designed for that purpose. The standard 3-point hitch is primarily designed for lifting and lowering implements rather than applying downward force. For tasks requiring down pressure, consider using implements like a box blade or a hydraulic top link that can assist with this function. Always consult the operator's manual for guidelines and compatibility.


What is the deepest you can put an object in?

The deepest you can put an object into the ocean is about 36,000 feet (approximately 11,000 meters) at the Mariana Trench, specifically the Challenger Deep, which is the deepest known point in the Earth's seabed. However, practical limits for most objects are influenced by the material's strength, pressure resistance, and technological capabilities. As you go deeper, the immense pressure can crush many objects, limiting how deep they can be effectively placed.

Why do high heels put more pressure on the floor?

High heels concentrate a person's weight onto a small area, increasing the pressure on the floor compared to flat shoes. The narrow point of contact creates a higher force per unit area, making it feel like there is more pressure on the floor.


How does on control bleeding by managing the pressure points?

For pressure point bleeding control, you should put direct pressure on a pressure point, an area where blood vessels run close to the surface, usually at a point where a pulse can be found.Common pressure points:Arm between shoulder and elbow - brachial arteryGroin area along bikini line - femoral arteryBehind the knee - popliteal artery


Can you contact a person you put a restaining order on?

no. why would you even want to contact a person you gave a restraining order to? ain't that the whole point of RESTRAINING ORDER!?!?!

Compared to the pure water an aqueous solution of calcium chloride has a?

Higher boiling point and a lower freezing point. These are called colligative properties. When a solute is put into solution with the solvent, there is a change in the vapor pressure, osmotic pressure, elevation of the boiling point, and depression of the freezing point.


What is the name for pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere?

Simply put, atmospheric pressure is the force exerted on a measuring point by the weight of the air molecules on top of that point. Standard atmospheric pressure, measured at sea level at 59F or 15C, is used as a reference point and is equal to 29.92 inches of mercury or 1013 millibars of pressure.


Can you die from someone poking you?

I think it depends where they poke you, if they poke you in a pressure point for too long then you might be put in a coma or die


Is heat the only way to melt ice?

No. There are a few different ways to melt snow. The main process in melting ice is adding energy. You can add energy to ice by heating it, putting it under pressure, or adding electrical energy (which often is just a way of adding heat). You can also add salinity. Water freezes at lower temperatures when it has dissolved particles in it. That is why they put salt on the roads in the winter, the salt lowers the freezing point and makes the formation of ice more difficult.


What do you do when your leg really hurts and theres no bruise where it hurts and you cant put pressure on it?

Take some pain medicine and if that doesn't work contact a doctor.


What is dead leg syndrome?

A 'dead leg' is when you can't move or put any pressure on you leg because of someone jabbing a pressure point on the side of it. It's bearable pain, but it still hurts.


If we put pressure on ice then how can it melt?

When pressure is applied to ice, the melting point decreases. This means that even if the ice is below its normal melting point, the pressure can cause it to melt. This is known as pressure melting or regelation.


What happens when you put a balloon in a jar then remove all the air?

If you put an inflated balloon in a jar and then remove the air from the jar the balloon will expand. Perhaps to the point of bursting, or to the point where it coats the entire inner surface of the jar.
