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.

Why might measuring changes in speed or direction be important?

It’s important because if you were let’s say training to see how far you go in 10sec you need to record your data to see how much you are improving in that skill or something

Which of the following maxims would apply to a person with a Type A personality?

lozanna [386]

The correct answer is C. Lost time is never found again

Explanation:

One of the most relevant personality theories is Type A and Type B personality theory that proposes two main types of personalities by grouping different personality traits. In the case of Type A personality, this refers to individuals that are very organized, impatient, and concerned with time and goals. On the opposite, Type B personality includes individuals that are more relaxed in different aspects.

According to this, one maxim that applies to Type A personality is "Lost time is never found again" because people with this personality are concerned about time and therefore, loss of time is considered highly negative by them. Also, due to their ambitions and concern with goals they want to avoid losing time as this is equivalent to work, money, goals, etc.

A man supports himself and the uniform horizontal beam pulling the rope with a force T.The weights of men and the beam are 883 N

artcher [175]

Answer:

T=502.5N

Ax=171.8N

Explanation:

The computation of the tension T in the rope and the forces exerted by the pin at A is shown below:

vertical forces sum = Ay + Tsin20 + T - 245 - 883 = 0

Now

horizontal forces sum = Ax - Tcos70

Now Moment about B

-Ay × 4.8 + 245 × 2.4 + 883 × 1.8=0

Ay=453.6N

Now substitute in sum of vertical forces T=502.5N

Ax=171.8N

When discussing Newton's laws of motion,which terms do people most likely yse when talking about Newton's third law of motion?

mestny [16]

When discussing Newton's laws of motion, particularly Newton's third law of motion, the terms that almost everyone will use are "action" and "reaction".

You must not take this to mean that they understand what they're talking about.

Explain why the surface of Venus is hotter than the surface of Mercury

Hitman42 [59]

<span>Venus is hotter due to the greenhouse effect: Venus has an atmosphere about ninety times thicker than that of Earth, and made almost entirely of carbon dioxide, which is one of the gasses that causes the greenhouse effect on Earth.</span>
