Air pressure may be represented as a function of height above the surface of the Earth as shown below.. P(h) = P_0 e^-.00012h. .

. . In this function, P0 is air pressure at sea level, and h is measured in meters. Which of the following equations will find the height at which air pressure is 85% of the air pressure at sea level?. . P_o =.85P_o e^-.00012h. .85p_o=p_o e^-.00012h. h= .85 e^-.00012h. .85 =h x e ^-.00012h

Answer. Second Option: .85p_o=p_o e^-.00012h


Solution:

P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)

Air pressure: P(h)

Height above the surface of the Earth (in meters): h

Air pressure at the sea level: Po

Height at which air pressure is 85% of the air pressure at sea level:

h=?, P(h)=85% Po

P(h)=(85/100) Po

P(h)=0.85 Po

Replacing P(h) by 0.85 Po in the formula above:

P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)

0.85 Po = Po e^(-0.00012h)

The equation that will find the height if the pressure is 85% of the air pressure at sea is: P(h)= .85*P0e^-0.00012h

Problem 3: A basketball player is running at 4.75 m/s toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintain
LekaFEV [45]

Answer

given,

speed of the basketball player, v_x = 4.75 m/s

height of the jump = ?

a) initial vertical velocity = 0 m/s

   final vertical velocity = ?

       height, h = 0.75 m

 using equation of motion

   v² = u² +  2 g h

   v² = 0² +  2 x 9.8 x  0.75

   v² = 14.7

   v = 3.83 m/s

b) let horizontal distance= x m

 maximum height at time , t s

 time taken to reach maximum height

    t = \dfrac{3.83}{9.8}

         t = 0.39 s

    horizontal distance

             = v_x  × t

             = 4.75 × 0.39

             = 1.85 m

horizontal distance is equal to 1.85 m

Explain the importance of resistors in a circuit. Cite some instances to prove this example.
Arisa [49]
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses. High-power resistors that can dissipate many watts of electrical power as heat, may be used as part of motor controls, in power distribution systems, or as test loads for generators. Fixed resistors have resistances that only change slightly with temperature, time or operating voltage. Variable resistors can be used to adjust circuit elements (such as a volume control or a lamp dimmer), or as sensing devices for heat, light, humidity, force, or chemical
