Do liquids and gases exert pressure
Answers
Answer:
yes
Explanation:
liquid exerts pressure to the walls of the container in which it is stored and gases exert pressure in all directions
Answer:
main idea Flowing and diffusion happens in liquids and gases, but not in solids.
Gas molecules are fast moving projectiles that bump into all objects continuously, and reflect off all the walls of a vessel. Changing their direction takes a force, and the reaction force on the walls of the vessel is what we call pressure.
a daily life example If you ride your bike over a bump in the road, you will be pleased that gases exert pressure on the walls of their container. A pumped-up tyre cushions the rider against bumps, but a flat tyre does not. The pressure of the air inside a flat tyre is just too low to do this.
