I would have to say yes
so it could all be due to pressure and not density
need an experiment with a proper IV
right now you don't have one to support your case
gases are a pain the ass and are still modelled
You're dealing with trillions of gas particles bouncing around in random directions and the temperature dictates their velocity
according to the KMT of gases
Brownian motion, quite right
Kinetic Molecular Theory
so this experiment suggests the pressure gradient exists in our atmosphere due to acceleration
There's also a temperature gradient
ya but temperature gradients don't cause a pressure gradient, in a contained volume of gas
A temperature gradient is NOT present in the car/balloon example however
WRONG,
no sorry that would violate the 2nd law of thermo
I freeze air, the pressure drops to zero
No it doesn't
kinetic energy of the gas is entirely dependent on temperature
freezing air is not a temperature GRADIENT
ya but those gas molecules are not prevented from mixing with all other molecules in the volume
Temperature decreases with elevation so does pressure.
We can easily experimentally prove that pressure is dependent on temperature.
yes that's true
but that's not the same as a temperature gradient
take a vessel of air
heat the whole thing
pressure goes up
There's a temperature gradient, there's a pressure gradient.
heat just the bottom, pressure goes up evenly throughout it, just not as much as if you heat the whole thing
<:trolled:555217274907262976>
no that wouldn't happen, b/c the gas molecules are free to mix and equalize pressure
you can't have a pressure difference without a barrier between them
same argument you make about earth's atmosphere
atmo WHAT?
<a:popcorn:507983990385541140>
The fuck did you just say?
🍿
atmo- suurrrfffeeeeaarr
The sky is flat as fuck
back tot the topic
No stop putting words in my mouth
tell me why you think you can get a pressure gradient, in one container of gas
