Air pressure can be explained as the amount of force applied per unit of area applied to a surface in which case air pressure is usually in some sort of contained environment at which the force applied is being restrained. An air compressor is an example of a contained environment by which an air pump forces air into the contained space. This force is being applied inside the contained space, measured in psi or pounds per square inch, is what creates the pressure. When this pressure is released it has powerful force behind it and is used in many fields of science, mechanics, construction, and other areas/fields in the business world.

How you can find the pressure in a vessel let say the volume of the vessel is 2cubic meter you have fill in 4 cubic meter of air at 24degC whats the pressure in side the vessel?

there is not enough information. 4 cubic meter of air at 24degC does not define how much air there is, as we don't know the pressure. One thing we do know is that the pressure will double as you are cutting the volume in half (Boyle's law)


Whats are three things that can set air in motion?

Differences in moisture, temperature, and pressure cause air to move from one location to another. Upper level winds can also influence air movement closer to the ground.

How does air pressure affect air movement?

Air pressure affects air movement because air moves from high pressure to low pressure. The air pressure pushes or will press the air around.

How does air pressure move air particles?

Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air in the atmosphere. Differences in air pressure cause air particles to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, in an attempt to equalize the pressure. This movement of air particles creates wind.
