Would you expect the the pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air?

water is more dense than air and it has atmospheric pressure also pushing down on it to make it have greater pressure than air.

What changes in air pressure what would you expect if you carried a barometer down a mine shaft?
Density and air pressure will increase, while altitude decreases.
Which ball will have a greater air resistance when the ball are dropped?
You can usually expect the larger ball to have more air resistance.
What should a person expect to happen to the air pressure as they move from the base of a mountain to the top of the mountain?
As you move from the bottom to the top of the mountain, the air pressure decreases.
What should a person expect to happen to the air pressure as she moves from the base of the mountain to the top of the mountain?
The air pressure will decreases as you go up the mountain. Density and air mass goes down too. Hope this helps!
What is the friction force if a crate is at rest on the surface and a horizontal force of 50N is applied to it?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so if you push on a crate, the crate pushes back with a normal force equal to the force exerted. Thus, expect a force of 50 N to push back at you. However, if you meant the normal force of the ground exerted on the box, then that would included the 50 N force and the weight of the crate.
Would expect pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of mercury?
if you were to immerse yourself under a meter of mercury the pressure experienced would be greater than if you were to immerse yourself under a meter of water.
Air weighs less than water would you expect the pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air?
water is more dense than air and it has at
Do you expect the pressure to be greater in the capillaries or the vein?
i would say capillaries...
what amount will I receive?
amount to expect? amount to expect
What changes in air pressure would you expect if you carried barometer down a mineshaft?
the air pressure would increase because the amount of atmosphere above you increases
Would you expect high or low pressure at the pole?
you would expect it to have high pressure
Would you expect high or low air pressure at the poles?
you would expect it to have high pressure
What type of weather do you expect on a high pressure day?
High Pressure days, these types of pressure systems do not allow for cloud formation, therefore, you can expect sunnydays.
What would expect to happen to a sidewalk over the course of years when rainwater continues to soak in to concrete and freeze?
If water is allowed to get into a concrete sidewalk and not allowed to drain and it freezes, the expansion of the water/ice as it crystallizes causes the concrete to crack. If more water settles in the crack and freezes, the crack gets bigger. Each year the increase in the size of the crack is greater because a greater amount of water can fit in the crack, and a greater amount of water has a greater amount of expansion when it freezes.
According to if it were not for pulmonary surfactants you should expect the surface tension in a small alveolus to produce greater pressure than in a large one and air would flow from small to large?
LaPlace's law
What type of weather do you expect in a high-pressure system?
You expect calm weather with few or no clouds.
Would you expect the air pressure in a valley that's sea level to be higher or lower than air pressure at sea level?
I would expect it to be lower.
