How does surface area and force affect pressure?
Pressure is force per area, so P = F/A where pressure is P, force is F and A is area. So Pressure is directly proportional to the force exerted on a surface. So increasing a force by a factor of 2, say, increases the pressure on the surface by 2 also.
Why does area affect the pressure?
By definition: pressure is measured as FORCE per AREA.
Why do sharp kniveshave a small cutting surface area?
This is because the pressure exerted at the blade of a knife increases with diminishing surface area. The smaller the cutting surface area, the higher the pressure, and the easier it is to cut.
Does pressure increase with the amount of force per unit area?
Pressure is defined as the derivative of normal force with respect to surface area. Pressure is proportional to the normal force, and inversely proportional to the surface area. As the normal force over a surface area varies so does pressure. In the case that pressure is increasing then either the normal force is increasing, the surface area of which the normal force is being exerted is decreasing, or the combination of both of these is occurring.
How does the area of exposed surface affect evaporation?
The larger the exposed surface area - the faster evaporation occurs.
What factors affect evaporation rate sientific answer?
Vapor pressure of the liquid, ambient pressure, temperature, and surface area of the liquid.
How does surface area and force affect pressure?
Pressure is force per area, so P = F/A where pressure is P, force is F and A is area. So Pressure is directly proportional to the force exerted on a surface. So increasing a force by a factor of 2, say, increases the pressure on the surface by 2 also.
What is the force on a surface divided by the area of that surface?
The force that is exerted on a surface divided by the area of the area is pressure. The standard unit of pressure is the Pascal.
What is divided by surface area to calculate pressure?
That is the force F. p = F / Awhere:p is the pressure,F is the normal force,A is the area (surface).
Why does area affect the pressure?
By definition: pressure is measured as FORCE per AREA.
The force pushing on a surface or area?
Pressure
What happens to surface area of a tire when pressure is increased?
the surface area decreases.
What are the factors that affect the rate of evaporation 5.10?
Dryness of air. Humidity. Temperature. Surface area. Wind. Pressure. Nature of liquid
What is the surface area of a pressure vessel?
The answer depends on the pressure vessel.
What quantity is divide by the surface area?
The quantity that is divided by the surface area is force. Force divided by surface area is equal to pressure.
Why do sharp kniveshave a small cutting surface area?
This is because the pressure exerted at the blade of a knife increases with diminishing surface area. The smaller the cutting surface area, the higher the pressure, and the easier it is to cut.
What force is pushing on a surface or area?
Pressure.
