when preparing for a climb, many climbers will measure the air pressure at the highest altitudes to which they will be climbing.

why do they do this?

Answer: Because even at high altitudes there is still plenty of oxygen for breathing. However, pressure is what drives the oxygen into the blood stream. At lower pressure we aren't able to breath because the pressure is not high enough to get the O2 into the blood.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

I₁ > I₃ > I₂

Explanation:

Taking the pic shown, we have

m₁ = 10m₀

m₂ = 2m₀

m₃ = m₀

r₁ = r₀

r₂ = 2r₀

r₃ = 3r₀

We apply the formula

I = mr²

then

I₁ = m₁r₁² = (10m₀)(r₀)² = 10m₀r₀²

I₂ = m₂r₂² = (2m₀)(2r₀)² = 8m₀r₀²

I₃ = m₃r₃² = (m₀)(3r₀)² = 9m₀r₀²

finally we have

I₁ > I₃ > I₂

A uniform plank 8.00 m in length with mass 50.0 kg is supported at two points located 1.00 m and 5.00 m, respectively, from the
andreev551 [17]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use Newton's second law and statistical equilibrium equations.

According to Newton's second law we have to

F = mg

where,

m= mass

g = gravitational acceleration

For the balance to break, there must be a mass M located at the right end.

We will define the mass m as the mass of the body, located in an equidistant center of the corners equal to 4m.

In this way, applying the static equilibrium equations, we have to sum up torques at point B,

\sum \tau = 0

Regarding the forces we have,

3Mg-1mg=0

Re-arrange to find M,

M = \frac{m}{3}

M = \frac{50}{3}

M = 16.67Kg

Therefore the maximum additional mass you could place on the right hand end of the plank and have the plank still be at rest is 16.67Kg

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

c. natural force or pull toward the earth

Explanation:

Gravity of the earth is the force of attraction that it naturally possesses to attract any mass.

An apple falls on the earth due to this force of gravity.

The force of gravity near to the surface of the earth is given as:

F=m.g

where:

m= mass of the body

g= acceleration due to gravity

The variation of the gravitational force with height is given as:

F'=m.g'

where:

g'=g\times (1+\frac{h}{R} )^{-2}

where

R = radius of the earth \approx64000\ km
