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.

Concerning the work done by a conservative force, which of the following statements, if any, are true? It can always be expresse
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

It is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points.

Explanation:

In Physics we define a conservative force as a force that is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points.

For conservative forces we can write;

KEi + PEi = KEf +PEf

where;

KEi= initial kinetic energy

PEi= initial potential energy

KEf= final kinetic energy

PEf= final potential energy

This equation is known as the principle conservation of mechanical energy . It applies only to conservative forces where friction is negligible. The term KE + PE  is also known as the total mechanical energy of the system.

Flapping flight is very energy intensive. A wind tunnel test
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of starling, m=89 g=89/1000=0.089 kg

1 kg=1000 g

Power, P=12 W

Speed, v=11 m/s

We have to find the metabolic power for starting flight.

We know that

Metabolic power for starting flight=\frac{P}{m}

Using the formula

Metabolic power for starting flight=\frac{12}{0.089}

Metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Hence, the metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

A person carries a plank of wood 2.00 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force f1 and the other hand hold
slega [8]

Answer:


F₁ = 4,120.2 N


F₂ = 3,924N


Explanation:



1) Balance of angular momentum around the end where F₁ is applied.


F₂ × 0.5m - F₁ × 0 = mass × g × 1m


⇒ F2 × 0.5 m= 20 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 1 m = 1,962 N×m


F₂ = 196.2 Nm / 0.5m = 3,924 N


2) Balance of forces


F₁ - F₂ = mg


F₁ = F₂ + mg = 3,924N + 20kg (9.81 m/s²) = 4,120.2 N
