What is air pressure?

Air pressure is the amount of molecules in the air. For example, the higher you go in Earth's atmosphere the less pressure so less molecules. <span />

<span>Air pressure also varies over time, and these temporal differences are usually caused by the temperature of the air. Cool air is denser (heavier) than warm air. Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cool air and will therefore rise above it. Areas of high pressure can be caused when cool air is sinking and pressing on the ground. At this time, the weather is usually dry and clear. In contrast, when warm air rises, it causes a region of low pressure. With low pressure, the weather is often wet and cloudy.
</span>Air pres<span>sure varies over time and from place to place. If we travel up a mountain or go up in a hot air balloon, for example, the air pressure gets less the higher we go. We can explain this difference by comparing air pressure to a pile of blankets on your bed.

Atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retain the original characteristics of the element. True or false
kozerog [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Going even smaller than atoms would get you to subatomic particles such as quarks. From there, it is impossible to distinguish elements. So, yes, atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retains the original characteristic of the element.

It takes a minimum distance of 57.46 m to stop a car moving at 13.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
vivado [14]

Answer:

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

Explanation:

We know by equation of motion that,

v^{2}=u^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot s

Where, v= final velocity m/sec

u=initial velocity m/sec

a=Acceleration m/Sec^{2}

s= Distance traveled before stop m

Case 1

u=  13 m/sec, v=0, s= 57.46 m, a=?

0^{2} = 13^{2}  + 2 \cdot a \cdot57.46

a = -1.47 m/Sec^{2} (a is negative since final velocity is less then initial velocity)

Case 2

u=29 m/sec, v=0, s= ?, a=-1.47 m/Sec^{2} (since same friction force is applied)

v^{2} = 29^{2}  - 2 \cdot 1.47 \cdot S

s = 285.94 m

Hence the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

In a physics laboratory experiment, a coil with 200 turns enclosing an area of 11.8 cm^2 is rotated during the time interval 4.9
Zanzabum

Answer:

Explanation:

Flux through the coil = nBA , n is no of turns , B is magnetic flux and A a is area of the coli

= 200 x 5.6 x 10⁻⁵ x 11.8 x 10⁻⁴

=  13216 x 10⁻⁹ weber .

b ) When the coil becomes parallel to magnetic field  , flux through it will become zero.

c ) e m f induced = change in flux / time

= 13216 x 10⁻⁹ / 4.9 x 10⁻²

= 2697.14 x 10⁻⁷ V

= 269.7 x10⁻⁶

269.7 μV.

Real-world examples of power
Paha777 [63]
By definition, power is the amount of energy consumed (or produced) in a second. (or more precisely, it is the rate of change in energy).
so anything which uses energy in a known time period can be labeled with a power rating.

an example for power could be a nuclear plant; traditional nuclear plants produce somewhat close to 1 giga watts (which means 1 giga joules in a second)
