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.

What are the starting materials for nuclear fission
aliina [53]
In normal fission reactors, the fuel used to start the nuclear fission is Uranium-235. 
Generally, fuel rods enriched with uranium-235 are used to start the fission. When a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it becomes unstable and then it breaks apart, producing two smaller nuclei, several neutrons and energy. The additional neutrons produced in the reaction are then absorbed by other nuclei of uranium-235, triggering other fission reactions, and so on.

A block of mass 3 kg, which has an initial
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the block

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 3 x 4 x 4

= 24 J

Negative work of - 24 J is required to be done on this object to bring it to rest.

magnitude of acceleration due to frictional force

= force / mass

2 / 3

= 0 .67 m /s²

Let the body slide by distance d before coming to rest so work done by force = Kinetic energy

=  2 x d = 24

d = 12 m
