What happens to air pressure as altitude decreases

2 answers:

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.

Answer:

$100m \div \frac{9 \: m}{1sec} = 11.11 \: sec \:$

I guess you can round it to 11 seconds.

Explanation:

Going with a speed 9m/s means you are going 9 meters in each second.

If you are going 9 meters in second how many seconds will it take to 100 meters?

Visually;

9 meters - - - 1 second

100 meters - - - ?seconds.

When you write like this 9 times ?seconds equal to 100 meters time 1 second. (you probably know this but just in case)

So to find ?second you multiply 100meters by 1 and divide it by 9 whixh will give you 11.1111 seconds whixh again I believe you can round it to 11.

(Kind of a) Proof;

If 9m * ?sec = 100 m * 1 sec

you send 9 meters to other side.

?sec = (100 m * 1 sec) ÷ 9m

Hope it was clear and it helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

What is the force of a ball if it has a mass of 10 kg and accelerates at an acceleration of 20 m/s^2? *

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

200N

Explanation:

mass(m) = 10 kg

acceleration(a) = 20 m/s^2

Force = mass * acceleration

= 10*20

= 200 N

Force = 200N

an object moving with uniform acceleration has a velocity of 12.ocm/s. if its x coordinate 2.00 later is 25.00cm what is its acc

Viktor [21]

We're given that x=25 when t=2: 

25 = 3 + 12(2) + (1/2)a(2)^2 

Thus a = -1 cm/sec^2

A space station in the shape of a 100 m-diameter (50m radius) wheel is spinning so as to impart a linear tangential speed of 22.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

artificial gravity a1 = 1 g

artificial gravity a2 = 2 g

diameter = 100 m

radius r= 50 m

speed v1 = 22.1 m/s

solution

As acceleration is ∝ v²

so we can say

$\frac{a2}{a1} = \frac{v2}{v1}$ .....................1

put here value

$\frac{2}{1} = \frac{v2}{22.1}$

solve it

v2 = $\sqrt{2 }$ × 22.1

v2 = 31.25 m/s

so correct option is b. 31.3 m/s
