Which statement about atmospheric pressure near earth's surface is true

Physics
1 answer:
Artemon [7]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Two gliders collide on a frictionless air track that is aligned along the x axis. Glider A has an initial velocity of +4.0 m/s a
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

As collision is elastic,thus we can use conservation of momentum equation

mA=0.2 kg

(vB)1=0 m/s.......................as it is on rest before collision

(vA)1=4 m/s

(vA)2=-1 m/s

(vB)2=2 m/s

using equation

(mA*vA+mB*vB)1= (mA*vA+mB*vB)2

Where 1 and 2 represents before and after collision

(0.2*4)+(mB*0)=(0.2*-1)+(mB*2)

0.8=-0.2+(2mB)

mass of object B=mB=0.3 Kg

Oceanic water particles mainly move in circles; is this movement greater on the ocean's surface or below the surface? Explain yo
goblinko [34]
I think that the oceanic water particles mainly move in circles greater in the oceans surface because of how big the waves can be and how wind and air impact the motion. The water particles move more on the surface because of the other factors that impact it such as people, wind, air, etc...
