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>

Using Excel, or some other graphing software, plot the values of y as a function of x. (You will not submit this spreadsheet. Ho
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a) > x<-c(1,2,3,4,5)

> y<-c(1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1,6)

> linearmodel<-lm(y~x)

And the output is given by:

> linearmodel

Call:

lm(formula = y ~ x)

Coefficients:

(Intercept)            x  

      1.10         0.98  

b) y = 0.98 x +1.10

And if we compare this with the general model y = mx +b

We see that the slope is m= 0.98 and the intercept b = 1.10

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we have the following data:

x: 1,2,3,4,5

y: 1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1, 6

For this case we can use the following R code:

> x<-c(1,2,3,4,5)

> y<-c(1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1,6)

> linearmodel<-lm(y~x)

And the output is given by:

> linearmodel

Call:

lm(formula = y ~ x)

Coefficients:

(Intercept)            x  

      1.10         0.98  

Part b

For this case we have the following trend equation given:

y = 0.98 x +1.10

And if we compare this with the general model y = mx +b

We see that the slope is m= 0.98 and the intercept b = 1.10

How are the climates of coastal regions affected by the specific heat capacity of water?
Katen [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 unit of mass by 1 unit temperature. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than common substances. The land has lower specific heat capacity. Thus, the land gets hot quickly than water.

This results in warming up air near the land which creates a difference in pressure across the coastal region. Sea breeze blows from sea towards landmass. Opposite happens at night, when water is still warm and land gets cooled down quickly. Then land breeze blows  from landmass towards the sea. This breeze maintains a moderate temperature and windy and humid weather in the coastal regions.

A skateboarder rolls off a 2.5 m high bridge into the river. If the skateboarder was originally moving at 7.0 m/s, how much time
saul85 [17]

Answer:

  t = 0.714 s and  x = 5.0 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile throwing exercise, in this case when the skater leaves the bridge he goes with horizontal speed

         vₓ = 7.0 m / s

Let's find the time it takes to get to the river

         y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

the initial vertical speed is zero and when it reaches the river its height is zero

        0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

        t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_o}{g}  }

        t = ra 2 2.5 / 9.8

        t = 0.714 s

the distance traveled is

       x = vₓ t

       x = 7.0 0.714

       x = 5.0 m
