Answer: 5.5km

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure will be 500 mb (that is half of the total 1000mb air pressure).

Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. This is because at At higher altitudes, there are fewer air molecules above a the known or given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

Pressure decreasing with higher altitudes also means that  air pressure decreases rapidly at lowerevels but more slowly at higher levels.

It is also known that more than half of the atmospheric molecules are located below 5.5 km(that is atmospheric pressure decreases within the lowest 5.5 km to about fifty(50) percent( that is 500 millibar).

If you use the same force to push a motorcycle as you would push a bike which one would have more acceleration and why explain u
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The bike would have more acceleration

Explanation:

Accourding to newtons first law a force is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration (f=ma) therefore an object with a higher mass compared to an object with a lower mass would experience less acceleration.

Eg.

F=50N

Motorbike M=200kg

F=ma

50=200 x a

50/200=a

0.25m/s/s =a

Bike M=35kg

F=ma

50=35 x a

50/35= a

1.43m/s/s=a

Jill applies a force of 250 N to a machine. The machine applies a force of 25 N to an object. What is the mechanical advantage o
Vinvika [58]

Mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of output load to the input load. The mechanical advantage of the machine will be 0.1.

<h3>What is mechanical advantage?</h3>

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system,

It is used to obtain the efficiency of forces in levers and pulleys. It is an effective way of amplifying the force in simple machines like levers.

The theoretical mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of the force responsible for the useful work in the system to the applied force.

Given

applied force = 250 N

Output force = 25

Mechanical advantage = work output / work input

\rm{Mechanical advantage}=\frac{F_O}{F_I}

\rm{Mechanical advantage}=\frac{25}{250}

\rm{Mechanical advantage}=0.1

Hence the mechanical advantage of the machine will be 0.1

To learn more about the mechanical advantage refer to the link;

Astronomers have found water on mars.
vodomira [7]

The thin atmosphere of Mars is thought to be due to the planet's lack of a magnetic field, which has allowed the Solar wind to blow away much of the gas the planet once had. Venus, despite still having a thick atmosphere of CO2, surprisingly has a similar problem

The total blood volume of a human is 75 ml/kg. If the volumetric flow rate is the same in adults and children, how much more blo
Tema [17]

The amount of blood that flows through the venae cavea of the adult is 3750 ml more than that of the child.

<h3>What is flow rate?:</h3>

This is the volume of fluid flowing in a vessel per unit time.

First, we need to get the volume of blood flowing through the venae cavae of the adult and the child in 1 hour, then subtract the volume of blood for the child from that of the adult.

Using,

  • V = F'm................ Equation 1

Where:

  • V = Volume of the blood
  • F' = Flow rate
  • m = mass of blood.

For the Adult,

Given:

  • m = 70 kg
  • F = 75 ml/kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • V = 70(75)
  • V = 5250 ml.

For the child,

Given:

  • m = 20 kg
  • F = 75 ml/kg

Substitute these values into equation 1 also

  • V = 75(20)
  • V = 1500 ml.

The amount of blood that flows more through the adult than the child is

  • A = 5250-1500
  • A = 3750 ml.

Hence, the amount of blood that flows through the venae cavea of the adult is 3750 ml more than that of the child.

Jamal is at Six Flags playing at the arcade. At one booth he throws a 0.50 kg ball
Mekhanik [1.2K]

were solving for v velocity of the ball after it has hit the bottle. a. momentum ->p=mv->ball + bottle momentum during hit = ball + bottle momentum after hit-> ball (.5*21)+ bottle (.2*0) (it's 0 because the the bottle is standing still) = ball after hit (.5*v)+bottle after hit (.2*30) -> 10.5+0=.5v+6 ->4.5=.5v->v=9m/s

b. if bottle was heavier the ball would be slower so final velocity would decrease
