Technically, yes, but so slightly that you'd never notice it.

Remember, the gravitational forces between you and anything else depend on your

mass, the other mass, and the distance between them. When you're in water, there

is more mass closer to you than there is when you're in air.

What is a hydrated crystal that has a water vapor pressure greater than the vapor pressure of air is called?

A delisquiscent.


Is air pressure greater at mountain than sea level?

No, air pressure is not greater at mountains than at sea level; it is actually lower. As altitude increases, the density of the air decreases, resulting in reduced air pressure. Therefore, at sea level, air pressure is higher compared to that at higher elevations like mountains.


Is air pressure in a cave greater than air pressure at sea level?

Air pressure in a cave can vary depending on its depth and ventilation, but generally it is not greater than air pressure at sea level. In most cases, air pressure decreases with higher elevation, so air pressure in a cave is typically lower than at sea level.

The speed in water is less than or greater than the speed of sound of air?

The speed of sound in water is greater than the speed of sound in air . For example, at 20 °C and 1 ATM pressure, the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, and its speed in water is 1482 m/s. In general, the speed of sound in a medium = (bulk modulus of the medium/ its density)^0.5 where the bulk modulus indicates how compressible the medium is; the greater the bulk modulus, the more incompressible the medium is. So, although water has a density much greater than that of air, water is also much more incompressible than air. When you solve for the speed of sound for both water and air using the above formula, you will find that it is greater in water.

Why volume of water exerts greater pressure than volume of air?

Water is denser than air, meaning there are more water molecules in a given volume than air molecules. This greater density of water results in more molecules colliding with the surface, creating higher pressure. Additionally, water is less compressible than air, so changes in volume have a more pronounced impact on pressure.


Would you expect the the pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air?

The pressure exerted by water would be greater than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air due to water's higher density. Water molecules are packed closely together, leading to more collisions with the walls of the container and thus a higher pressure compared to air molecules.

Is 200 psi of air the same as 200 psi of water?

No, 200 psi of air is not the same as 200 psi of water. This is because water is denser than air, so the pressure exerted by water at 200 psi would be greater than that of air at the same pressure.


Why Poes water on top of a mountain boil at a lower temperature than at sea level?

It is the effect of air pressure. The air pressure at the top of a mountain is less than the air pressure at sea level. The effect of air pressure on a water surface is to prevent or oppose water molecules escaping from the surface. The greater the air pressure, the more heat energy is needed to allow the water molecules to escape and so at sea level the water will boil at a higher temperature than if it were on top of a mountain.


Why does water exert greater pressure on an object than does an equal volume of air?

If you were to take equal volumes of air and water and weigh them, Water would have a larger mass than air, because there are more water molecules than air molecules in the same volume. Therefore, since Pressure = Force x Area, we need to find the force. Since the water has a larger mass, it will automatically have a larger force than the air. So if it has a larger force, it will also have a higher pressure.


What happens when pressure in the lung is greater than atmospheric pressure?

If the pressure in the lung is greater than atmospheric pressure, air will flow out of the lungs in order to equalize the pressure. This is called exhalation or breathing out.


Where is the pressure greater 10M or 20M below the surface of the sea?

Because water is denser than air.


Why does a scuba diver has a bigger challenge than a mountain climber?

Water is denser than air so the pressure is much greater underwater than it is in the air. Ascending 20 meters (50ish feet)underwater is about the same amount of pressure as like 1000 feet in the air

Is air pressure greater at the top of a mountain than at lower elevations?

No, it is greater at the lower elevations.
