Pressure is the force applied per unit area of a substance. It is typically measured in units such as Pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi) and can be exerted by gases, liquids, or solids. Increasing the pressure on a substance can result in changes in its physical properties.
What else can I help you with?
What spincter opens when food or fluids exert pressure on it?
Esophageal, duodenal, urethral, and anal would all seem to fit that description.
What happens to the air pressure inside a vacuum chamber?
Short answer:A vacuum is actually a description of very low pressure.Long answer:This question really depends on the case. For this answer I'll be referring to an air cylinder like in a paintball gun or so on. Air pressure is the pressure or force a gas exerts on an object. For example atmospheric air pressure is the weight of all the air in the atmosphere above you pushing down on you. Or in the case of a cylinder pressure is the force of the molecules and atoms of air bumping into the wall of the cylinder. the more collisions with the walls the higher the pressure. Adding more air means more atoms to bump around and more pressure. As you start to remove the atoms and molecules from the cylinder there are less and less to bump into the walls. Thus lowering the pressure of the cyclical. A vacuum is reached when there are little to no more molecules or atoms bouncing around inside the tube. Therefore a vacuum is actually a description of very low pressure.
What do you mean by the statement 'the atmospheric pressure is 1 ATM?
When we say that the atmospheric pressure is 1 ATM, we mean that the pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere at sea level is equivalent to 1 atmosphere (ATM), which is approximately 101.3 kilopascals or 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). This unit of measurement is often used as a reference point for comparing other pressures.
Is gauge pressure the same as absolute pressure?
No, gauge pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is the total pressure including atmospheric pressure.
What is the difference between gage pressure and absolute pressure?
Gage pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is the total pressure including atmospheric pressure.
What is the description of "systolic pressure"?
The best or most common description for systolic pressure would be that its related to your blood pressure. If you have systolic blood pressure it could mean that your blood vessels are clogged up.
What is a form of electrical pressure?
That sounds like the description of voltage. It isn't really a pressure, but you can compare voltage to pressure (in the water analogy).
high pressure air mass best description?
fair weather
The unit of measure of electrical pressure is the?
The unit of measure of electrical pressure is the VOLTS.
Can provigil cause high blood pressure?
It can affect your blood cells but by description it does not directly cause high blood pressure. Reactions to this prescription may vary.
What is the best description of hydraulic pressure?
operation of machinery and equipment by a fluid that is under pressure, two examples being masts that raise elevator platforms or forks on a lift truck
What is a description for ice?
Ice is frozen water, water in its solid state.
What is the wind symbol?
If you are referring to the blinking orange dashboard warning light - from your description(?) it sounds like it might the tire low pressure alarm.
What is a description of cardiac tamponade?
The condition keeps the rest of the body from getting the necessary supply of oxygen and can cause dangerously low blood pressure.
What is quantitative description?
A quantitative description is a purley numerical description. A qualitative description is a purely narrative description.
What is a description of a metamorphic rock?
It is a rock that physically changes when other rocks or sediment change around it caused by chemical reactions, heat, pressure, or all three.
Heat and pressure are involved in the formation of a rock and during the process the rock does not become liquid. so this probably what type of rock?
This fits the description of a metamorphic rock.
