Question

8. Do liquid and gases exert pressure on the walls of container in all direction? Give example to justify your statement

Answer 1

The molecules are continually colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. When a molecule collides with the wall, they exert small force on the wall.

Answer 2

Yes, gases and liquids exert pressure on the walls of container in all direction.

Since, these particles are always in motion. Hence, they acquire momentum.

Which is responsible for applying pressure in all directions.
