What happens to air pressure as altitude decreases

Physics

Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

Pressure with Height: pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

Calculate the minimum thickness (in nm) of an oil slick on water that appears blue when illuminated by white light perpendicular
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength in a particular medium and refractive index \lambda_n = \frac{ \lambda }{n}

where ;

\lambda = wavelength of the light in vacuum

n = refractive index of medium with respect to vacuum

For one phase change :

2t = \frac{\lambda_n}{2}\\\\where \ \lambda_n = \frac{\lambda}{n}\\\\Then \ \\\\2t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda_n}{4n}

Replacing 1.43 for n and 480 nm for λ; we have:

t = \frac{480}{4(1.43)}

t = 83.92 nm

Thus; the minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

Why are some fasteners double or triple threaded?
OLga [1]
<span>Fasteners are double or triple threaded with the idea of durability. People look for durability in a fastener and if they receive one with triple threaded or double threaded they will feel more safe and at ease knowing it has extra strength added.</span>

A 100-turn, 3.0-cm-diameter coil is at rest in a horizontal plane. A uniform magnetic field 60%u2218 away from vertical increase
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Induced emf in the coil, E = 0.157 volts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns, N = 100

Diameter of the coil, d = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Radius of the coil, r = 0.015 m

A uniform magnetic field increases from 0.5 T to 2.5 T in 0.9 s.

Due to this change in magnetic field, an emf is induced in the coil which is given by :

E=-NA\dfrac{\Delta B}{\Delta t}

E=-100\times \pi (0.015)^2\times \dfrac{2.5-0.5}{0.9}

E = -0.157 volts

Minus sign shows the direction of induced emf in the coil. Hence, the induced emf in the coil is 0.157 volts.

Why can't you hear a sound in space ?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

As the vibrations of the particles reach your ear, your ear drum receives the vibrations which the brain then interprets as sound. In the vacuum of space, there are no (or very, very few) particles to vibrate, so sound cannot travel through this medium.
