Answer:

It decreases

Explanation:

The air pressure tends to be higher on the places with the lowest altitudes, and lower at the places with higher altitudes. Basically, the air pressure is the wight of the air, and since the air is denser and heavier at the lower altitudes, the air pressure is higher, while on the higher altitudes the air is less dense, thus the air pressure is lower. So in practice we can expect that the air pressure in a low valley will be higher than the air pressure at the top of higher mountain.

The pressure in a water line is 1500 kpa. what is the line pressure in (a) lb/ft2 units and (b) lbf/in2 (psi) units?
kotegsom [21]

To solve this problem, we know that:

1 psi = 6894.76 Pa

1 lb / ft^2 = 47.88 Pa

 

Therefore:

a. 1500 x 10^3 Pa * (1 lb / ft^2 / 47.88 Pa) = 31,328.32 lb / ft^2

 

b. 1500 x 10^3 Pa * (1 psi / 6894.76 Pa) = 217.56 psi

How far can you get away from your little brother with the squirt gun filled with paint if you can travel at 3 m/s and you have
otez555 [7]

Answer:

s = 45 m

Explanation:

The velocity given in the question is uniform. Hence, the formula for the uniform velocity shall be used here. The formula is given as follows:

s = vt

where,

s = distance traveled away from the brother = ?

v = constant speed = 3 m/s

t = time taken = (0.25 min)(60 s/1 min) = 15 s

Therefore, using these values in the formula we get:

s = (3\ m/s)(15\ s)\\

<u>s = 45 m</u>

How would you determine your applied force in this experiment
stellarik [79]

Answer:

An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. If a person is pushing a desk across the room, then there is an applied force acting upon the object. The applied force is the force exerted on the desk by the person.

It states that the rate of change of velocity of an object is directly proportional to the force applied and takes place in the direction of the force. It is summarized by the equation: Force (N) = mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²). Thus, an object of constant mass accelerates in proportion to the force applied.

A particle's velocity is described by the function vx = kt 2 m/s, where k is a constant and t is in s. The particle's position a
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The value of the constant k is 2

Explanation:

We have the equation of the velocity v_{x} = kt² , where k

is constant and t is the time in second

The particle's position at t_{0} = 0 is x_{0} = -9 m

The particle's position at t_{1} = 3 s is x_{1} = 9 m

We need to find the value of the constant k

The relation between the velocity and the displacement in a particular

time is x = \int\ {v_{x} } \, dt

Remember in integration we add power by 1 and divide the expression

by the new power

→ x = \int\ {kt^{2} } \, dt=\frac{1}{3}kt^{3}+c

c is the constant of integration to find it substitute the initial value of x

and t in the equation of x

→ t_{0} = 0 , x_{0} = -9 m

→ -9 = \frac{1}{3} k (0)³ + c

→ -9 = c

Substitute the value of c in the equation of x

→ x = \frac{1}{3} k t³ - 9

To find k substitute the values of  t_{1} = 3 s , x_{1} = 9 m

→ 9 = \frac{1}{3} k (3)³ - 9

→ 9 = \frac{1}{3} (27) k - 9

→ 9 = 9 k - 9

Add 9 to both sides

→ 18 = 9 k

Divide both sides by 9

→ k = 2

<em>The value of the constant k is 2</em>

A climber using bottled oxygen accidentally drops the oxygen bottle from an altitude of 4500 m. If the bottle fell straight down
Trava [24]

Answer:

v= 300 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

altitude ,h= 4500 m

The mass ,m = 3 kg

Lets take acceleration due to gravity , g= 10 m/s²

The speed before impact at sea  level =  v

Initial speed ,u = 0 m/s

We know that

v²=u²+2 g h

v=final speed

u=initial speed

h=height

Now by putting the values in the above equation

v² = 0²+ 2 x 10 x 4500

v²=90000

v= 300 m/s

Therefore the speed at sea level will be 300 m/s.
