Final answer:

Answers to true/false statements regarding air pressure, density, and temperature differences.


Explanation:

True/False Statements:

  1. True
  2. False: Gases can exert pressure when their molecules collide with surfaces.
  3. True
  4. True
  5. False: A barometer measures air pressure changes, not a thermometer.
  6. True

Explanation:

Air has weight and takes up space because it is made of matter, and gases exert pressure when their molecules collide with surfaces. Air pressure increases with altitude, and cold air is heavier than warm air due to its increased density. A barometer, not a thermometer, is used to measure air pressure changes. Increased air pressure aids meteorologists in predicting precipitation.
