Answer:

The air around you has weight, and it presses against everything it touches. That pressure is called atmospheric pressure, or air pressure. It is the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth.

Atmospheric pressure is commonly measured with a barometer. In a barometer, a column of mercury in a glass tube rises or falls as the weight of the atmosphere changes. Meteorologists describe the atmospheric pressure by how high the mercury rises.

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of measurement equal to the average air pressure at sea level at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit). One atmosphere is 1,013 millibars, or 760 millimeters (29.92 inches) of mercury.

Atmospheric pressure drops as altitude increases. The atmospheric pressure on Denali, Alaska, is about half that of Honolulu, Hawai'i. Honolulu is a city at sea level. Denali, also known as Mount McKinley, is the highest peak in North America.

Which one of the following accurately describes the force of gravity? A. The gravity acceleration has no effect on a body moving
attashe74 [19]
Answer: C
The gravity acceleration is in the same direction as the force of gravity, and thus toward the center of the earth.

Explanation:
All celestial bodies in our solar system experience forces between each other. On earth, the localized gravitational force in the earth's atmosphere is directed toward the center of the earth. It's magnitude is
32.174 ft/s² in English units,
9.807 m/s² in SI units.

All objects that have mass are subject to the earth's gravitational acceleration. The product of mass and the earth's gravitational acceleration defines the weight of an object as its gravitational force.

Christian made some pancakes she's so 3/5 of them in the morning and 1/4 of the remainder in the afternoon is she had 300 pancak
DiKsa [7]

Christian made 1000 pancakes.

Explanation:

Let us represent the total amount of Pancake made by Christian as = K

    From the problem;

 Christian ate \frac{3}{5} of the pancake in the morning =  \frac{3}{5}  * K =  \frac{3}{5} K

We know that Christian cannot eat her pancake and at the same time have it, the  remaining pancake will then be:

        total amount of cake - fraction eaten

Remainder = K -  \frac{3}{5} K=  \frac{2}{5} K

   

In the afternoon, we know that she ate 1/4 of the remaining cake:

        \frac{1}{5} K*  \frac{2}{5} K = \frac{1}{10} K

 The remaining cake in the afternoon will be:

    Total amount of cake remaining from morning - amount eaten in the afternoon

    =    \frac{2}{5} K -  \frac{1}{10} K

    =    \frac{3}{10} K

The fraction of the cake remaining in the afternoon is  \frac{3}{10} K

Since she had 300cakes left in the afternoon, then :

            \frac{3}{10} K= 300

                    K = 1000 pancakes

Therefore Christian made 1000 pancakes.

Explain what voltage,current, resistance are and how they relate to Ohms law. Then give examples
SOVA2 [1]
Voltage is the difference in charge between two points.
Current is the rate the charge flows
Resistance is the tendency a material has to resist the flow of charge (current)
Combining voltage resistance and current Ohm developed the formula
V (Voltage)= I (Current) x R (Resistance)
