The greater the area, the lower the pressure. The smaller the area, the higher the pressure. I am assuming by area you mean volume. According to the Ideal Gas Law, PV=nRT, pressure and volume are inversely related. As the volume increases, the pressure will decrease and vice versa.
What else can I help you with?
How can one determine atmospheric pressure?
Atmospheric pressure can be determined using a barometer, which measures the weight of the air above a specific area. The higher the atmospheric pressure, the more air is pressing down on that area.
What is the force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it called?
The force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it is called atmospheric pressure.
Why does area affect the pressure?
Area affects pressure because pressure is the force applied over a given area. When the same force is applied over a smaller area, the pressure increases because the force is concentrated in a smaller space. Similarly, when the same force is applied over a larger area, the pressure decreases because the force is spread out over a larger surface.
What the weight of air called?
The weight of air is called air pressure. There is no way around air pressure and it must be calculated into anything having to do with physics.
When the area get larger the pressure?
Decreases. As the area over which a force is distributed increases, the pressure exerted by that force decreases. This relationship is described by the formula pressure = force/area.
How pressure depends on force and area?
Pressure = force/area This means that the larger the force, the larger the pressure. But the smaller the area, the larger the pressure.
How can one determine atmospheric pressure?
Atmospheric pressure can be determined using a barometer, which measures the weight of the air above a specific area. The higher the atmospheric pressure, the more air is pressing down on that area.
The measure of the force with which air molecules are pushing on the Earth's surface?
This force is called atmospheric pressure, the force is measured per unit area because the bigger the area the more molecules hit. It is 14.7 pounds per square inch ("psi")
What does rising atmospheric pressure usually indicates?
a high pressure system is moving into an area
What is the force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it called?
The force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it is called atmospheric pressure.
When cold air moves into an area the atmospheric pressure is?
When cold air moves into an area, the atmospheric pressure is high because cold air is denser than warm air. When a cold front moves through an area, the pressure always rises.
Which is larger in area Texas or Spain?
Texas is bigger.
Is barometric pressure the same as atmosheric pressure?
Barometric pressure refers specifically to the pressure exerted by the atmosphere, while atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of the air above that surface. In essence, barometric pressure is a type of atmospheric pressure.
Which state has a larger area Idaho or Ohio?
Idaho has a bigger land area.
What is bigger Venezuela or Australia?
By leand area, Australia is larger. By population Venezuela is larger.
Why on a windy day does atmospheric pressure decrease?
Because you are ugly. Because you are ugly.
Which is bigger New York or Georgia?
Georgia has a larger area.
