The correct answer is it decreases as someone moves away from earth's surface.

The atmospheric pressure decreases when you go near the surface of the earth. Atmospheric pressure can also be referred to as barometric pressure.

This is the pressure which is being found in the earth's atmosphere. It is approximated by pressure of hydrostatic which is known to be caused by weight of air where the measurement points are above.

When elevation increases, there is decrease in atmospheric pressure.

Force per unit are is measured by pressure.

What is the gravitational force that two objects would feel if they are 3.5 meters apart? Object 1 has a mass of 10x10^5 kg and

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

1.63 N

Explanation:

F = GMm/r^2

= (6.67x10^-11)(10x10^5)(3x10^5) / 3.5^2

= 1.63 N ( 3 sig. fig.)

Answer:

F=m*g is the formula and the answer is 19,620 kg

Explanation:

Since the formula is F=m*g and Earth's gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 all you need to do is multiply 2,000 by 9.81

Explain numericals of electricity chapter of class 10 and also diagrams.What is ammeter?What is voltmeter?potential difference?O

SVEN [57.7K]

Let's explain the following electrical terms.

• Electric current, can be said to be the flow of electric charge. These charges are through a conductor by moving electrons.

• Ammeter, is an instrument used to measure the amount of electric current in a circuit.

The name ammeter was derived from the unit of electric current (Amperes).

• Voltmeter, can be said to be an instrument used to measure the voltage(potential difference) in a circuit. It measures the electric potential between two points in an electrical circuit. It can also be called voltage meter.

• Electric circuit, can be defined as the conductive path for the flow of electric current.

It allows electric charge carriers to flow continuously.

• Resistance ,can be said to be the property of an electrical conductor which resists the flow of electric current. It is measured in ohms.

• Ohms law, states that the potential difference (V) between two points is directly proportional to the electric current across two points.

It is deonted as: V = I x R

Voltage = Current x Resistance

• Electric potential ,can be said to be the amount of electric potential energy at a point.

Answer:

1) 3 applications of pressure in daily life are :-

● The area of sharp edge of knife, scissor or handsaws are much less then blunt edge. So, for same total force pressure is more for sharp edges than the blunt one. Hence sharp knife, scissors etc, cuts easily than a blunt one.

●Broad handles in bags and suitcases are provided for the comfort. Broad handles have large area. So, the pressure exerted on hands and shoulders would be small while carrying the bags and the suitcases.

●Trucks carrying heavy loads have more than four tyres. More tyres in case of trucks increase the area of contact with the road. This results in reduced pressure on the tyres.

2) Area of the surface which is on ground = 1.5×1

= 1.5m^2

Mass of the block = 300kg

Force applied by the block = Mass × g = 300×10

= 3000N (where g = acceleration due to gravity )

Pressure = Force applied / Area of the surface

= 3000N / 1.5m^2

= 2000 Pa

a) The above experiment signifies that more the area of the surface of an object , less the pressure an object applies.

b) B exerts the minimum pressure because the area of its surface to ground is greater than others & as it has more area of surface , it exerts less pressure. ( area is inversely proportional to pressure )

c) D exerts the maximum pressure because the area of its surface to ground is lesser than others & as it has less area of surface , it exerts more pressure. ( area is inversely proportional to pressure )

d) It depend upon the way an object is kept on ground. If an object is kept in such a way dat the area of the surface to the ground is more , then pressure will be least exerted .If an object is kept in such a way dat the area of the surface to the ground is less, then pressure will be exerted more .

e) Do it yourself . only i will suggest that make the tip of the cone ( which is to the ground ) more narrower.
