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

A capacitor with plates separated by a distance d is charged to a potential difference ΔVC. All wires and batteries are disconne
Tom [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial separation of plate = d

final separation = 2d

The capacitance of the capacitor will reduce from C to C/2 because

capacitance = ε A / d

d is distance between plates.

As the batteries are disconnected , charge on the capacitor becomes fixed .

Initial charge on the capacitor

= Capacitance x potential difference

Q = C ΔV

Final charge will remain unchanged

Final charge = C ΔV

Final capacitance = C/2

Final potential difference = charge / capacitance

= C ΔV /  C/2

= 2 ΔV

Potential difference is doubled after the pates are further separated.

How does a mirage occur in a deser?explain with a labelled diagram.​
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool.

Explanation:

They happen when light passes through two layers of air with different temperatures. The desert sun heats the sand, which in turn heats the air just above it. The hot air bends light rays and reflects the sky.

When you see it from a distance, the different air masses colliding with each other act as a mirror.

What creates an ionic bond?
natta225 [31]
Ionic bonding is the bonding between a positive metal with a negative nonmetal (metals are always positive while non metals are opposite). The meeting of a metal with a non metal creates an ionic bond.
