In a normal year the weak winds (trade winds) will switch direction because the strong winds (the atmospheric pressure) is strong enough to push the trade winds up and to turn them around.

Why might lower atmospheric pressure related to faster wind speed?

Lower atmospheric pressure can lead to faster wind speeds because it creates a steeper pressure gradient between high-pressure and low-pressure areas. Wind naturally flows from regions of higher pressure to regions of lower pressure, and a greater difference in pressure results in stronger winds. Additionally, as air rises in low-pressure areas, it can create turbulence and enhance wind speed further. This dynamic is particularly evident during storms and weather systems where pressure differences are pronounced.


Will you be crushed on Jupiter?

Yes, if you were to stand on Jupiter, you would be crushed due to its immense atmospheric pressure, which increases dramatically as you descend into the planet. Jupiter is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, and it lacks a solid surface like Earth. The pressure at the level where a solid surface might be expected would be millions of times greater than Earth's atmospheric pressure, making survival impossible.


If the air pressure inside a container were greater than the fluid pressure outside the container what would happen?

Okay i think i might know but i'm not sure but i think this can never happen because if it did the atmospheric pressure would crush us. our fluids in our bodies exert pressure on the atmospheric pressure(the same amount) and pretty much neutralize the effect!


What kind of map might diagrams of air pressure?

A diagram of air pressure could be represented on a weather map. This map would use isobars - lines that connect areas with the same atmospheric pressure - to show areas of high and low pressure. The spacing of the isobars indicates the strength of the pressure gradient, which affects wind speed and direction.

What variable might affect the miles per gallon of an car?

Too many to put down on paper. For example, temperature, atmospheric pressure, tyres, road condition etc, all have a bearing on mpg.


Why does the height of the liquid column in a barometer changes as atmospheric pressure changes?

Pressure tendancies measure short term weather. The mercury in a barometer will rise with atmospheric pressure denoting fairer weather and a fall in barometric pressure warns of inclement weather.


What possible variables have you not accounted for As you did the procedures is it possible that the atmospheric pressure may have changed If it did change over the course of your experiment then how?

Potential variables not accounted for may include fluctuations in temperature, humidity, and the specific equipment calibration. Atmospheric pressure can change due to weather conditions or altitude variations, which could affect experimental results, especially in sensitive measurements. If atmospheric pressure decreased during the experiment, it might lead to lower boiling points or altered gas volumes, potentially skewing outcomes. Conversely, an increase in pressure could have the opposite effect, impacting the results significantly.


Why does atmospheric pressure start to decrease around midnight when with the temperature decrease pressure should increase?

The reason for temperature being lower in high altitude regions (as compared to places at sea-level) is due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure as we go up in altitude. So decrease in atmospheric pressure causes the temperature to decrease, which might be a reason for the decreased pressure at night. --- Diurnal temperature fluctuations vary by location, but follow a twice-daily cycle of general rise and fall, corresponding to the "atmospheric tide" induced by the eastward rotation of the planet.


Difference between bar and barg?

The 'g' added on to bar means 'gauge', as opposed to bara, meaning 'absolute'. The 'zero' of a normal gauge is normally set at atmospheric pressure (things like tire pressure gauges, water gauges etc.) These gauges will read as "10 bar" but really mean that the absolute pressure is 10 bar + atmospheric pressure (~1.01325 bar). Some gauges however are absolute gauges. These might include weather gauges, or gauges on closed processes. bara = barg + atmospheric pressure


What is the result of the weight of a column of air pushing on an area?

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.


Is the air in lungs negative pressure?

There are a number of places in the body where the pressures are lower than atmospheric, or negative. For example, 1- When we breathe in (inspire) the pressure in the lungs must be lower than atmospheric pressure. The lung pressure during inspiration is a few centimeters of water negative.
