On Earth, the air becomes less dense and loses pressure as it rises in height. There is a bad correlation between the two variables.

<h3>What is atmosphere?</h3>

The layers of gases that envelop a planet or other celestial body are its atmosphere. About 78% of the gases in the Earth's atmosphere are nitrogen, 21% are oxygen, and 1% are other gases.

<h3>What is air pressure?</h3>

Everything you touch is pressed upon by the weighty air that surrounds you. This pressure is referred to as air pressure or atmospheric pressure. It is the force that the air above a surface applies to it while gravity pulls the surface toward Earth. A barometer is frequently used to measure atmospheric pressure.

<h3>What is altitude?</h3>

Height above sea level is how altitude is defined. Air pressure and height are two different but related ideas. In fact, they are so closely related that many airplane altimeters base their altitude calculations on air pressure. And one can also do the opposite; mountain climbers can determine whether they need to bring an oxygen supply by forecasting the air pressure on a mountaintop with a known elevation.

A certain lightning bolt moves 50.0 C of charge. How many units of fundamental charge is this?
liubo4ka [24]
Answer: There are number of electrons.
Explanation:
We are given 50 Coulombs of charge and we need to find the number of electrons that can hold this much amount of charge. So, to calculate that we will use the equation:

where,
n = number of electrons
Charge of one electron =
Q = Total charge = 50 C.
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, there are number of electrons.

Can you guys help to understand this graph I'm so confused why I getting wrong?
dedylja [7]
The one fact that needs to be mentioned but isn't given anywhere on or around the graph is: The distance, on the vertical axis, is the distance FROM home. So any point on the graph where the distance is zero ... the point is in the x-axis ... is a point AT home.

Segment D ...
Walking AWAY from home; distance increases as time increases.

Segment B ...
Not walking; distance doesn't change as time increases.

Segment C ...
Walking away from home, but slower than before; distance increases as time increases, but not as fast. Slope is less than segment-D.

Segment A ...
Going home; distance is DEcreasing as time increases. Walking pretty fast ... the slope of the line is steep.
