Air has weight because it is made up of molecules that have mass. Gravity pulls these molecules down toward the Earth's surface, causing them to exert a force known as atmospheric pressure. The weight of air can be measured and is typically around 14.7 pounds per square inch at sea level.

Does crushing a can add weight to it?

only if you count the air inside the can that has been moved out. if anything, it would weigh less.


Is air inside the balloon has weight?

Air has weight wherever it is. The weight of a jug full of air depends on the temperature and pressure in the jug. At sea-level pressure and 32 degrees, one pound of air fills about 92.7 gallons, and the air in a 10-ft x 12-ft bedroom with a 7-ft ceiling represents about 67.8 pounds of weight. Don't forget, though, that anything surrounded by fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, and a room full of air displaces ... one roomfull of air! So it 'floats', and winds up with a net weight of essentially zero. (If you could suddenly heat all the air in the room, making it less dense than the air around it, then the buoyant force would be more than its weight, and it would want to rise. Then the room would be a "hot-air balloon".)

What is the relationship between buoyant force and weight in air?

Buyoant force is the force acting on the any body which is immerced in the fluid.the air itself also is fluid (since anything which flows is known as fluid) .hence air is respnsible for creating the buyoant force when the body is in the air.


How much does sound weigh?

Sound in air is simply a compression of air at the frequency of the sound. The sound itself does not weigh anything, but the medium it is travelling in will have its own weight per unit volume.


What happen if you don't turn off air suspension when changing a tire?

Nothing, if you lift the car up properly with a jack. There would be no weight on the tire; therefore, the air suspension wouldn't do anything.


What gives air its weight?

Air has weight because it is made up of molecules that have mass. The weight of the air is due to the gravitational force pulling down on these molecules. The more air molecules present in a given volume, the greater the weight of the air.


The weight of air is called?

The weight of air is called atmospheric pressure. It is the force exerted by the weight of the air above a given point in the atmosphere.


Do bubbles weigh anything?

Yes, bubbles have weight due to the air and water vapor trapped within them. However, the weight of a single bubble is very small and difficult to measure because they are so light.
