Physics

SVETLANKA909090 [29]4 years ago
4 0
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air above you. It seems silly , but you have to rememeber that the air is full of molecules of different elements ( nitrogen , oxygen , CO2 , etc ... ) and the have atomic weight.
Thats why there is less pressure on top of you when you are at greater altitudes , there is less air above you.

Hope it helps !

A relief plane flying horizontally at 65.0 m/s is delivering a
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

The height of the plane delivering a food package to people stranded on an island is 722.2 m.

<h3>Time of motion of the food package</h3>

The time taken for the food package to hit the ground level is calculated as follows;

X = vt

where;

  • X is horizontal distance traveled by the food package
  • v is horizontal distance
  • t is time of motion

t = X/v

t = 789/65

t = 12.14 seconds

<h3>Height of the plane</h3>

h = ¹/₂gt²

where;

  • h is height of fall of the food package which is height of the plane
  • t is time of motion of food package
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

h = (0.5)(9.8)(12.14²)

h = 722.2 m

Thus, the height of the plane delivering a food package to people stranded on an island is 722.2 m.
