Question

In which direction does air exerts pressure?

• A. all direction
• B. upward directions
• C. downward directions
• D. sideways only

Answer 1

The correct option is A

all direction

Air exerts pressure in all directions. Gases exert pressure on surfaces with which they come in contact. When an air molecule bounces off a surface, it exerts a force on that surface. And since the gas particles move randomly in all directions, they exert pressure equally in all directions.
