As a characteristic property of gases, air compresses more easily as compared to liquids like water. This is because the intermolecular force of attraction among the gas particles is lesser than liquid particles. Hence they tend to have more space and can be compressed more easily.

Which of these statements is not true air has mass air exerts pressure air composes matter air contains mold?
air is composed OF matter
Why do fluids exert more force the deeper you go?
imagine that all the air around you is puting pressure on you. Then, when you go into a fluid, you can feel the pressure of the air and the water. The deeper you go, the more pressure is on top of you and eventually, you will get crushed.
What is the relationship between air pressure and flight?
Air exerts pressure in the same way that water exerts pressure on a diver. Air has weight, and because we are at the bottom of a blanket of air that surrounds the earth, the weight of that air is pressing down on us (creating pressure). If you go under water, you'll feel the additional pressure created by the weight of the water above you.
What happens to air pressure when water vapor increases?
Atmospheric pressure is reduced with increasing water vapor because the water has a lower molecular weight than dry air. The same number of molecules occupy a given volume at a given pressure, so the total mass of water vapor laden air is lower than dry air. If you add up the weight of a column of the wet air it will weigh less than the same column filled with dry air, hence, wet air has a lower air pressure.
How much air pressure equals 120 psi of water?
Pressure doesn't change when you change substance, 120 PSI in water equals 120 PSI in air.
Why volume of water exerts greater pressure than volume of air?
DENSER MORE PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE LOOK AT SCIENCE TEXT BOOK DONT CHEAT ON WIKI Water has more density than air.
Cold air exerts more blank than warm air?
air molecules in cold air exert more pressure because they are closer together and collide more often
Why does air exert pressure?

Air has weight, and because we are at the bottom of a blanket of air that surrounds the earth, the weight of that air is pressing down on us (creating pressure). If you go under water, you'll feel the additional pressure created by the weight of the water above you.
Why does the water pressure in a bottle increase when you put your hand on the top of it?
Because your hand replaces the column of air which was 'pressing' on the content of the bottle. Your hand exerts more pressure than the air.(: :) :p P:
Dry air exerts less pressure than air that has?
Dry air exerts less pressure than air that has a higher humidity. In general, air pressure is the sum of the individual pressures of gases present in the air. Dry air lacks any water vapor pressure in the air. Therefore, any air with a humidity above 0% has a higher pressure than dry air.
Why does cold air exerts more pressure then the warm air?
Because the air molecules are packed closer together in cold air.
When air exerts a force it is called?
-- Pressure -- Wind
Air exerts pressure because it has?
weight
Why water pipes shake when water is running?
They shake because, the water exerts pressure when running in the pipes
How do you know that air exerts pressure?
Because the pressure can be measured with a barometer.
Dry air exerts less pressure than air that has What?
devin in it
What is exerting pressure?
Force exerts pressure. For example: At the surface of the Earth the column of air in the atmosphere above an area has a mass that exerts a force (due to gravity) on that surface area.
