Which statement best describes air pressure at high altitudes? (Points : 3)

2 answers:

5 0

Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. this is because air pressure is caused by the gravity of earth, the gravity pulls on the air, compacting it and making a pressure.
But as we go higher, gravity decreases, causing less pull on the air resulting in less air pressure.<span />

In general, air pressure decreases as elevation increases because there is less atmosphere pushing down on the object. So "<span>Air pressure decreases as altitude increases."</span>

A train travels due south at 20 m/s. It reverses its direction and travels due north at 20 m/s. What is the change in velocity o

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

40 m/s due north

Explanation:

Consider that the south direction a negative Y axis and north direction as + Y axis

v1 = 20 m/s South = 20 (-j) m/s

v2 = 20 m/s North = 20 j m/s

Change in velocity = v2 - v1 = 20 j - 20 (-j) = 40 j m/s

So, change in velocity is 40 m/s due north.

Can A positively charged body attract another positively charged body

andriy [413]

Like charges repel, unlike charges attract

Two protons will also tend to repel each other because they both have a positive charge. On the other hand, electrons and protons will be attracted to each other because of their unlike charges.

So I would say no, unless the two bodies are placed close to each other where one has much more charge than the other, then due to induction, force of attraction becomes more than the force of repulsion.
