Define pressure. Group of answer choices force exerted by solids to the surrounding area force used to compress a gas force used to melt a solid force exerted per unit area by gas particles as they strike the surfaces around them force applied to a gas to condense it

force exerted per unit area by gas particles as they strike the surfaces around them

Explanation:

According to the kinetic molecular theory, a gas is composed of molecules. The molecules of a gas are in constant random motion and collide frequently with each other as well as with the walls of the container.

Pressure is defined as force per unit area. The pressure of a gas is the force exerted per unit area by gas particles as they strike the surfaces around them hence the answer above.

weight of any object is given by

w = m*g

where m is mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

for earth the value of g is 9.8 m/s^2 so

w=117.6 n m=12 g=?

117.6=12g => g=9.8 m/s^2

which is the force of gravity on earth.
