Why is the air in a jet aircraft flying at high altitudes pressurized? *

Chemistry

saw5 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.

Explanation:

-Air becomes increasingly thinner with increasing altitudes.

-As such, oxygen becomes limited at higher altitudes and makes it difficult or almost impossible to breath  a condition called hypoxia.

-Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.

13. When a train car traveling at 4 m/s collides with a stationary train car, what happens to the momentum of the first train ca
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Momentum of first train car will reduce

Explanation:

When the moving care collides with the stationary car, it will increase the momentum of the stationary car. However, its own momentum will reduce.

It is so because the speed of the first train car will reduce after collision due to loss of energy in the collision while the stationary car may gain some momentum due to rise in velocity from zero (velocity at stationary position).

What similarities do nuclear energy and chemical energy share?
nadya68 [22]

Which statement correctly identifies the nuclide that is most likely to be unstable and describes why?
iVinArrow [24]
The answer would be B.

U-238 has a n to p ration of 1.6:1. 146 neutrons and 92 protons.

It is actually the most commonly used isotope is reactors.

C-14 is also a radioactive isotope with 8 neutrons and 6 protons.

The usual and ideal n to p ratio is 1:1 such as C-12 or Mg-24
