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. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

The work done by $\vec F$ along the given path C from A to B is given by the line integral,

$\displaystyle \int_C \mathbf F\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r$

I assume the path itself is a line segment, which can be parameterized by

$\vec r(t) = (1-t)(-2\,\vec\imath + 5\,\vec\jmath) + t(4\,\vec\imath+7\,\vec\jmath) \\\\ \vec r(t) = (6t-2)\,\vec\imath+(2t+5)\,\vec\jmath \\\\ \vec r(t) = x(t)\,\vec\imath + y(t)\,\vec\jmath$

with 0 ≤ t ≤ 1. Then the work performed by F along C is

$\displaystyle \int_0^1 \left(6x(t)^3\,\vec\imath-4y(t)\,\vec\jmath\right)\cdot\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\left[x(t)\,\vec\imath + y(t)\,\vec\jmath\right]\,\mathrm dt \\\\ = \int_0^1 (288(3t-1)^3-8(2t+5)) \,\mathrm dt = \boxed{312}$

A disk 7.90 cm in radius rotates at a constant rate of 1 190 rev/min about its central axis. (a) Determine its angular speed. 12

Tanya [424]

Answer:

$124.62\ \text{rad/s}$

$3.71\ \text{m/s}$

$1.23\ \text{km/s}^2$

$20.28\ \text{m}$

Explanation:

r = Radius of disk = 7.9 cm

N = Number of revolution per minute = 1190 rev/minute

Angular speed is given by

$\omega=N\dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=1190\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=124.62\ \text{rad/s}$

The angular speed is $124.62\ \text{rad/s}$

r = 2.98 cm

Tangential speed is given by

$v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=2.98\times 10^{-2}\times 124.62\\\Rightarrow v=3.71\ \text{m/s}$

Tangential speed at the required point is $3.71\ \text{m/s}$

Radial acceleration is given by

$a=\omega^2r\\\Rightarrow a=124.62^2\times 7.9\times 10^{-2}\\\Rightarrow a=1226.88\approx 1.23\ \text{km/s}^2$

The radial acceleration is $1.23\ \text{km/s}^2$ .

t = Time = 2.06 s

Distance traveled is given by

$d=vt\\\Rightarrow d=\omega rt\\\Rightarrow d=124.62\times 7.9\times 10^{-2}\times 2.06\\\Rightarrow d=20.28\ \text{m}$

The total distance a point on the rim moves in the required time is $20.28\ \text{m}$ .

Why do we feel the force of gravity from the Earth but we don’t feel the force of gravity from the moon?

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The gravitational force on the moon is less than on Earth because the strength of gravity is determined by an object's mass. The bigger the object, the bigger the gravitational force. Gravity is pretty much everywhere. We just feel it in different ways depending on our state of motion.

Hope this helped!!

Radiation from the Sun The intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Earth is 1360 W/m2 and frequency is f = 60 MHz. T

Zina [86]

a) Total power output: $3.845\cdot 10^{26} W$

b) The relative percentage change of power output is 1.67%

c) The intensity of the radiation on Mars is $540 W/m^2$

Explanation:

The intensity of electromagnetic radiation is given by

$I=\frac{P}{A}$

where

P is the power output

A is the surface area considered

In this problem, we have

$I=1360 W/m^2$ is the intensity of the solar radiation at the Earth

The area to be considered is area of a sphere of radius

$r=1.5\cdot 10^{11} m$ (distance Earth-Sun)

Therefore

$A=4\pi r^2 = 4 \pi (1.5\cdot 10^{11})^2=2.8\cdot 10^{23}m^2$

And now, using the first equation, we can find the total power output of the Sun:

$P=IA=(1360)(2.8\cdot 10^{23})=3.845\cdot 10^{26} W$

The energy of the solar radiation is directly proportional to its frequency, given the relationship

$E=hf$

where E is the energy, h is the Planck's constant, f is the frequency.

Also, the power output of the Sun is directly proportional to the energy,

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where t is the time.

This means that the power output is proportional to the frequency:

$P\propto f$

Here the frequency increases by 1 MHz: the original frequency was

$f_0 = 60 MHz$

so the relative percentage change in frequency is

$\frac{\Delta f}{f_0}\cdot 100 = \frac{1}{60}\cdot 100 =1.67\%$

And therefore, the power also increases by 1.67 %.

In this second case, we have to calculate the new power output of the Sun:

$P' = P + \frac{1.67}{100}P =1.167P=1.0167(3.845\cdot 10^{26})=3.910\cdot 10^{26} W$

Now we want to calculate the intensity of the radiation measured on Mars. Mars is 60% farther from the Sun than the Earth, so its distance from the Sun is

$r'=(1+0.60)r=1.60r=1.60(1.5\cdot 10^{11})=2.4\cdot 10^{11}m$
