Does air pressure increase or decrease with an increase in altitude is the rate of change constant

1 answer:

The rate of pressure decreases with an increase in altitude is not constant. Rather, pressure decreases rapidly near Earth's surface and more gradually at greater heights.

You've been called in to investigate a construction accidentin

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

57300 N

Explanation:

The container has a mass of 5300 kg, the weight of the container is:

f = m * a

w = m * g

w = 5300 * 9.81 = 52000 N

However this container was moving with more acceleration, so dynamic loads appear.

w' = m * (g + a)

w' = 5300 * (9.81 + 1) = 57300 N

The rating for the cable was 50000 N

The maximum load was exceeded by:

57300 / 50000 - 1 = 14.6%

A barbel weighing 215N is raised to a height of 2.0 M above the ground. It is then dropped from that height.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

430 J
6.26 m/s

Explanation:

A. The kinetic energy is the same as the initial potential energy:

PE = mgh = (215 N)(2.0 M) = 430 J

B. The velocity achieved by falling from a height h is given by ...

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2·9.8 m/s^2·2 m) = √(39.2 m^2/s^2)

v ≈ 6.26 m/s

A spring has a spring constant of 20 N/m. How much potential energy is stored in the spring as it stretched 0.20 m

makkiz [27]

The elastic potential energy (Ep) is given by $Ep = \frac{1}{2}*k*x^2$

Data:
Ep = ? (Joule)
k = 20 N/m
x (displacement) = 0.20 m

Solving:
$Ep = \frac{1}{2}*k*x^2$
$Ep = \frac{1}{2}*20*0.20^2$
$Ep = \frac{20*0.04}{2}$
$Ep = \frac{0.8}{2}$
$\boxed{\boxed{Ep = 0.4\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

How do power plants generate electricity?

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

electrons are a waste product of bacteria living around plant roots – plants discharge organic matter into the soil, which is broken down by bacteria. It is possible to harvest them using motonless electrodes and turn them into electricity, without affecting the plant’s growth in any way.

A bicyclist bikes the 90 mi to a city averaging a certain speed. The return trip is made at a speed that is 1 mph slower. Total

Lynna [10]

Answer:

his speeds while going to city is 10 mph and while his round trip the speed will be 9 mph

Explanation:

Let say the speed of the bicycle while he moves towards the city is "v"

now the speed of the round trip must be smaller by 1 mph

so its speed for round trip will be

$v_2 = v - 1$
