Answer:

B: The air pressure decreases

Explanation:

Pressure at any given height in the atmosphere is the total weight of the air above a unit area at any height.

Increase in elevation leads to decrease or lesser air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

Answer:

B. the air pressure decreases

Explanation:

As elevation increases, there is less overlying atmospheric pressure mass, so that atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevaton.

On the decibel scale, an increase of 10 decibels means an intensity increase of __________times?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Explanation:

The decibel or decibel, is a unit that relates two values of sound pressure, and electrical power. the base unit is the bel, but given the amplitude but for practicality, a submultiple, the decibel, is used. It is a scalar expression .

Zero belios is the reference value used as a base, hence a bel is equivalent to 10 decibels and means that there is a power increase of 10 times over the reference value.

Army is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s west

Aleks04 [339]

Explanation:

Given that,

Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward.

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

$v_B=+5\ m/s$ is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

$v_c=15\ m/s$ is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy.

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

$v_B=+5\ m/s$

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

$v_c'=-15\ m/s-(+5\ m/s)\\\\=-20\ m/s$

So, the magnitude is 20 m/s and the direction is westward (negative sign).

A disk of a radius 50 cm rotates at a constant rate of 100 rpm. What distance in meters will a point on the outside rim travel d

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the disk, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

angular speed of the disk, ω = 100 rpm

time of motion, t = 30 s

The distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is calculated as follows;

$\theta = \omega t\\\\\theta = (100 \frac{rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 s} ) \times (30 s)\\\\\theta = 100 \pi \ rad\\\\d = \theta r\\\\d = 100\pi \ \times \ 0.5m\\\\d = 50 \pi \ m = 157.1 \ m$

Therefore, the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m
