If the area decreases, the pressure will increase since pressure is inversely proportional to area when force is constant (Pressure = Force/Area). This means that a smaller area will result in the force being distributed over a smaller area, leading to an increase in pressure.

Objects moving at a constant speed in a straight are said to be in?

Objects moving at constant speed in a straight line are said to be in equilibrium. That is there is no force acting on them. If a force was acting there would be aceleration and the velocity would change.


For a constant force when the surface are is tripled the pressure is?

Pressure would decrease to one-third of the original value. Pressure is calculated as force divided by area, so if the force remains constant and the area is tripled, the pressure would decrease proportionally.


How would the velocity of the book change if the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force?

If the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force, the book would move at a constant velocity since the two forces would be balanced. This means there would be no acceleration or deceleration, and the book's velocity would remain unchanged as long as the forces stayed in equilibrium.


What would the net force be on an object moving at constant velocity?

In order for an object to travel with constant velocity the sum of forces acting on it must be zero


How could thrust in the bottom of the liquid level change if area is doubled keeping the pressure same?

If the area of the bottom of the liquid level is doubled while keeping the pressure constant, the thrust (force exerted by the liquid) would also double. This is because thrust is directly proportional to the area of the bottom of the liquid level acting on the fluid. Therefore, doubling the area would result in double the force or thrust.

How would pressure change if area is doubled keeping the force constant?

Since P = F/A, PA = F So, if area is doubled, pressure is halved.


Can you produce a lower pressure by decreasing the area a force acts on?

Yes, the pressure is inversely proportional to the area over which a force is applied. Decreasing the area that a force acts on will result in a lower pressure. This relationship is defined by the equation Pressure = Force / Area.

Suppose the temperature of the air in a balloon is increased if the pressure remains constant.. what quantity must change Would it be Volume or Number of molecules or Compressibility OR Adhesion?

If the pressure is kept constant while increasing the temperature of the air in a balloon, the volume of the gas inside the balloon would change. This is because as the temperature rises, the gas molecules gain energy and move faster, leading to an increase in volume to maintain a constant pressure.

Would swimmming fish in a tank change the weight distribution of the whole tank or is the weight constant throughout?

The weight distribution is constant because fluids transmit pressure evenly.

What ideal gas is stored in a container at constant volume. If the temperature (T) were increased to 3T what would be the change in pressure (P)?

The ideal gas law states that pressure (P) is directly proportional to temperature (T) at constant volume. So if the temperature is increased to 3T, the pressure would also increase by a factor of 3.


What is the volume of air in the tank of capacity 1500cc if you pump only 500cc?

Assuming the tank was not in a vacuum, the VOLUME stays constant. The volume is the total area inside the tank. The pressure would change when 'pumped up'. The volume would not. The pressure inside would also change based on the temperature, relative to the outside pressure.


If you slide a hockey puck across a frictionless ice rink these must be a horizontal force on it too keep it in the motion?

F=ma constant speed would mean 'a' acceleration is zero thus force zero. The puck would be in equilibrium, and the force would be zero at constant motion. Constant motion is constant velocity including the constant zero velocity.
