What type of barometric readings would you expect if you brought your barometer to the top of a mountain?

A barometer measures the atmospheric pressure.
The value of the atmospheric pressure  depends on many things, but mainly on the altitude. In fact, the value of the atmospheric pressure at a given location depends on the weight of the column of air above the location. As we go higher in altitude, the weight of this column of air decreases, and so the atmospheric pressure decreases. 
Therefore, at the top of a mountain the barometer will read a value for the atmospheric pressure lower than the value measured at sea level.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

c)

Explanation:

When a ball is tossed upward, it rises due to the initial velocity which points upward (so it is positive if we choose the upward direction as positive), but once released, the only force (neglecting air resistance) acting on the ball is gravity.

This force is due to the mass of the Earth, and produces an acceleration in the same direction than the force, which is always downward, so in this case is negative.

As it has opposite direction to the velocity, causes the ball to slow down until it reach to a point when momentarily comes to an stop, and then changes direction falling with negative velocity, so it speeds up as it has the same sign than acceleration, that it is always present.

larisa [96]

Newtons first law states "an object at rest will stay at rest while an object in motion will remain in motion" im confused as to what you are asking for but heres an example.

a car traveling at a speed of 35mph coming up to a stop sign has to slow down to a stop it cant stop instantly thats the same for it accelerating.

erica [24]

Answer:

Fuel oil is mixed with a proper portion of compressed air

Explanation:

A gas turbine has three main part, which are

  • combustion chamber
  • air compressor
  • power turbine

The combustion chamber is responsible for mixing fuel with a proper portion of compressed air.

The air compressor supplies air in sufficient quantity to satisfy the requirements of the combustion chamber

The power turbine produces the power to drive the air compressor.
