The main way in which an altimeter measures the altitude of an object is by calculating the location's air pressure.

<h3>What is an Altimeter?</h3>

This refers to the instrument that is used to measure the altitude of an object when it is at a fixed level.

Hence, we can see that an altimeter should NOT be confused with a barometer, because although they both measure pressure, a barometer calculates the change in air pressure and elevation based on available weather.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.

an auditorium measures 30.0 m ✕ 15.0 m ✕ 5.0 m. the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3. (a) what is the volume of the room in cubic fe
Fynjy0 [20]

dimension = 30.0 m ✕ 15.0 m ✕ 5.0 m.

density = 1.20 kg/m3

(a)volume = lenght * breadth * height

      = 30 * 15 * 5

      = 2250 metre cube = 2.25 cubic meter

(b)   mass of air = density * volume

        mass of air = 1.2 * 2250

mass of air = 2700kg

weight  = mass * 9.8

             = 2700 * 9.8

             = 26,460 N

  • The definition of Density is the amount of matter in a given space, or volume
  • Density = mass/volume
  • units for density kg/m^3
  • Density of water 1g/ml
  • Salt water is denser that is why  don't sink as easily.

How much is the velocity of a body when it travels 600m in 5 minutes?​
maks197457 [2]

answer

so unit of velocity is m/s

displacement=600m

5minutes should be converted to seconds

5×60=300 seconds

so,

velocity= displacement÷time

= 600m ÷300s

=2m/s or 2ms^-1

What two models are used to describe how light behaves
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Light is one of nature's ways of moving energy from one place to another.

Explanation:

It has no substance, or mass. How does light travel? Light behaves like a traveling wave, something like waves in a string or on the surface of water.

Megan was doing time trials on her bike around a 400m horizontal track. She took 32 seconds to travel 400m. What was her average
Mars2501 [29]
To find average speed, we divide the distance of travel (in this case, 400 metres) by the time she took, 32 seconds.  Therefore: 12.5 seconds is her average speed.
