Is atmospheric pressure gravitational or kinetic?

I keep seeing a popular question asking about atmospheric pressure "crushing" us. The word "crush" throws me off.

It is my understanding that air molecules create pressure due to collisions. In other words, the molecules exert pressure due to having kinetic energy - and the more molecules you...

## Pressure in the proton, from gravitational form factors?

A paper in Nature is getting some press, for having calculated "the pressure distribution inside the proton". But the theory behind the calculation seems a little odd. Apparently the data pertains to the scattering of an electron... Pressure in the proton, from gravitational form factors?...

## About gravitational binding energy and kinetic energy

If a celestial body's kinetic energy (say, the Moon's) surpassed the energy necessary to exceed the gravitational binding energy (GBE), would said body break apart because of it? For example, the Moon is currently orbiting the Earth at a speed of 1020 meters per second, giving it a kinetic... About gravitational binding energy and kinetic energy...

## Atmospheric pressure- where do we get the mass?

At sea level, we experience an external force pressing down on us at any given time which is equal to about 15 pounds per square inch. Pressure is defined as: ##P = \frac{Force}{Area}## where Force is equal to mass x acceleration. When we say that we experience this 15 pounds per square inch of...

## Calculating kinetic energy turned into Pressure (Pascals) during an impact

Hello, A silly question I'm sure, if a projectile moving at 13.59 m/s with a KE = 527.47 J hits an area of 3 cm^2, what is the force transfer to that area and the resultant pressure applied expressed in Pascals? Do I divide the KE by a volume instead of area to Pa?...

## P0122, P0223 and 0 on the oil pressure???

ok so i my 2006 corvette has been parked since middle of November. I slowly been installing a front wide body on the car. Along with zr1 side skirts. The car has not been started since. About a week and a half ago i finished up and and tried to start the car and my battery was dead. Not a real shocker. Turns our the optima red top had expanding cells so i replaced it. So I start the car and instantly have the reduced engine power show up and also not reading oil psi. Oil psi gauge goes all the w...

### High Tire Pressure?

Thumb Score: +1 Not a great deal as the Ninja website has it just a tiny bit cheaper but with triple points and $30 in Kohl's cash and not to mention the crazy insane return policy that Kohl's has you can test out one of the newest inventions in pressure cooking with the ability to crisp things which is normally a move to broiler step. It looks very interesting and I just got in on the Ultra Instant Pot 8qt offer but this is interesting so I plan to buy it to see if it's worth it. So far the re... ### Static and Kinetic Friction vs Normal Reaction Graphing How do i suppose to determine the uncertainty for the slope of my Static friction against normal reaction graph?
