What is air pressure?

Physics
1 answer:
dolphi86 [110]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A. Earth's gravity pulling down on air molecules

Explanation:

Air pressure refers to the weight of the air per unit surface area. It is the amount of gravitational force which is pulling down the molecules of air.

The common unit of air pressure is: Pascal, atm

1 atm = 101325 Pa

As the column of the air above increases, the air pressure increase. This is because with the increase in amount of air, the weight increase of the air increases. This is the reason a diver feels immense pressure in the sea and cooking takes a lot of time on hilly areas because of low air pressure.

A stationary siren creates an 894 Hz
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

12.3 m/s

Explanation:

The Doppler equation describes how sound frequency depends on relative velocities:

fr = fs (c + vr)/(c + vs),

where fr is the frequency heard by the receiver,

fs is the frequency emitted at the source,

c is the speed of sound,

vr is the velocity of the receiver,

and vs is the velocity of the source.

Note: vr is positive if the receiver is moving towards the source, negative if away.

Conversely, vs is positive if the receiver is moving away from the source, and negative if towards.

Given:

fs = 894 Hz

fr = 926 Hz

c = 343 m/s

vs = 0 m/s

Find: vr

926 = 894 (343 + vr) / (343 + 0)

vr = 12.3

The speed of the car is 12.3 m/s.

When a rocket is traveling toward a mountain at 100 m/s, the sound waves from this rocket's engine approach the mountain at spee
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The initial speed of the rocket is  v_i = 100 m/s

    The speed of the rocket engine sound is V

    The final speed of the rocket is  v_f = 200 \ m/s

The speed of the sound at v_f would still remain V this because the speed of sound wave is constant and is not dependent on the speed of the observer(The mountain ) or the speed of the source (The rocket ).

  A clear example when  lightning strikes you will first see (that is because it travels at  the speed of light which is greater than the speed of sound) but it would take some time before you hear the sound of the   lightning

Here we see that the speed of the lightning(speed of sound) does not affect the speed of the sound it generates

What is the speed of a truck that travels 10 i’m in 10 minutes ?
fiasKO [112]

10km/10min is a legitimate speed. So is meters/sec, km/hour (kph), etc.  

Kph is very common for vehicles:  

10 km/10 min (60 min/hr) = 60 kph
