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.

a motorcycle is capable of accelerating at 5.1 m/s starting from rest how far can it travell in 1.5 sec

Katarina [22]

The answer is 21m because the motion is in one dimension with constant acceleration.

The initial velocity is 0, because it started from rest, the acceleration ax is 4.7ms2, and the time t is 3.0s

Plugging in our known values, we have

Δx=(0)(3.0s)+12(4.7ms2)(3.0s)2=21m

As an object falls to the ground, its potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The statement is true

Explanation:

Energy Conversion

When an object starts to fall in free air, it speeds up as it falls. The force of gravity acting on the object causes energy to be transferred from its gravitational potential energy to its kinetic energy. We can safely say the height converts to speed and vice-versa. If no external forces act on the system, we can easily calculate heights and speeds by knowing the total mechanical energy (gravitational potential plus kinetic) is conserved.

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{The statement is true}}$
