Explain the cause of atmospheric pressure

Physics
1 answer:

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 !
It would be awesome if you marked this awnser as Branliest! Thx :)

A girl lifts a 160-N load to a height of 1 m in 0.5 s. How much power is used to lift the load?
12345 [234]
First, find the work done. W = f*d, so 160 N * 1 m = 160 J. Then divide the work by the time to get the power. P = W/t. P = 160 J / 0.5 s = 320 W.
The answer is 320 W. Hope this helps, and have a great day! :)

Max and Jimmy want to jump on a trampoline. Max begins jumping in a steady pattern, making small waves in the trampoline. Jimmy
mylen [45]

Answer:

x_total = (A + B) cos (wt + Ф)

we have the sum of the two waves in a phase movement

Explanation:

In this case we can see that the first boy Max when he enters the trampoline and jumps creates a harmonic movement, with a given frequency. When the second boy Jimmy enters the trampoline and begins to jump he also creates a harmonic movement. If the frequency of the two movements is the same and they are in phase we have a resonant process, where the amplitude of the movement increases significantly.

         Max

               x₁ = A cos (wt + Ф)

         Jimmy

              x₂ = B cos (wt + Ф)

         

total movement

             x_total = (A + B) cos (wt + Ф)

 Therefore we have the sum of the two waves in a phase movement

A transformer is to be used to provide power for a computer disk drive that needs 6.4 V (rms) instead of the 120 V (rms) from th
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The current in the primary is 0.026 A

Explanation:

Using the formula

I1 = (V1/V2)*I2

we have

I1 = (6.4/120)*0.500

I1 = 0.026 A

A wheel has a radius of r = 2.0 m and it rolls down a smooth incline. The height of the incline is h = 8.0 m . What is the angul
zepelin [54]

The angular velocity of the wheel at the bottom of the incline is 4.429 rad/sec

The angular velocity (ω) of an object is the rate at which the object's angle position is changing in relation to time.

For a wheel attached to an incline angle, the angular velocity can be computed by considering the conservation of energy theorem.

As such the total kinetic energy (K.E) and rotational kinetic energy (R.K.E) at a point is equal to the total potential energy (P.E) at the other point.

i.e.

P.E = K.E + R.K.E

\mathbf{mgh = \dfrac{1}{2}m(r \times \omega)^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times I \times \omega^2}

\mathbf{gh = \dfrac{1}{2}(r \times \omega)^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times r^2 \times \omega^2}

\mathbf{2 \times \dfrac{gh}{r^2} =\omega^2 +  \omega^2}

\mathbf{2 \omega^2=2 \times \dfrac{9.81 \times 8 m }{2.0 ^2}  }

\mathbf{\omega^2=\dfrac{39.24 }{2}}

\mathbf{\omega=\sqrt{19.62 } \ rad/sec}

\mathbf{\omega=4.429 \ rad/sec}

Therefore, we can conclude that the angular velocity of the wheel at the bottom of the incline is 4.429 rad/sec
