When force increases pressure decreases or increases?

Answer: Since pressure is defined as Force/Area, a decrease in the area over which force is applied would result in an increase in pressure on this area. By definition, pressure is Force/Area, so no matter how much area you have, it will still “feel” the same.

What happens to the pressure of a force when area increases?

For force being constant pressure is inversely proportional to area. Thus, on increasing Area pressure will definitely decrease!

What happens to pressure when force is decreased?

So, for the same force, if the area decreases, the pressure increases. According to the definition of pressure P=F/A, pressure should increase where the area decreases.

What is the relation between pressure force and area?

Answer: Pressure is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to area.

How does pressure affect force?

Since we found F = PA, we see that the force exerted by a pressure is directly proportional to the area acted upon as well as the pressure itself. The forces due to pressure have well-defined directions: they are always exerted perpendicular to any surface.

What happens to the pressure as molecules move faster?

As molecules move faster the number of collisions that will occur will increase. By increasing the number of collisions, this will increase the pressure in the container.

What happens to the pressure when the volume increases?

Answer Wiki. It will decrease. In the case of a gas as volume increases, pressure will decrease. This is why a balloon pops when you squeeze it, you are decreasing the volume and increasing the pressure on the inside surface of the balloon until it is too high for the balloon to contain.

What happens to pressure when the area of contact increases?

In the case of contact forces between two objects as the area of contact between the two increases the pressure per square unit of measure will decrease. This is why a doctor can give you an injection with relitivly little pressure, the surface area of the point of the needle is tiny. This also explains why axes are sharp. It will decrease.

Why does water pressure increase as you go deep in water?

As you go deep in water the water above you increases so does its mass so pressure increases proportionally. H= (+) if going deep in water as pressure increases, While (-) when going above as mass above decreases so does the pressure.
