Answer:

decrease.

Explanation:

The air pressure is given by

P = h x d x g

where, h is the height of air column above the surface and g be the acceleration due to gravity and d be the density of air.

As we go up, the height of air column decreases, density of air decreases and acceleration due to gravity also decreases, so the value of pressure decreases at altitudes.

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

think of climbing a mountain. the higher you go the harder it is to breathe. its because air pressure is increasing

You have just moved into a new apartment and are trying to arrange your bedroom. You would like to move your dresser of weight 3

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

0 Joules

Explanation:

The work done is given by

$W=F\times s\times cos\theta$

where,

F = Force applied

s = Displacement of the object = 0 m

$\theta$ = Angle between the force applied and the horizontal = 0

$W=F\times 0\times cos0\\\Rightarrow W=0\ J$

Work is only observed when there is a displacement.

The work done by me is 0 Joules as I was unable to move it.

A wheel turns through 5.5 revolutions while being accelerated from rest at 20rpm/s.(a) What is the final angular speed ? (b) How

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

(a) The final angular speed is 12.05 rad/s

(b) The time taken to turn 5.5 revolutions is 5.74 s

Explanation:

Given;

number of revolutions, θ = 5.5 revolutions

acceleration of the wheel, α = 20 rpm/s

number of revolutions in radian is given as;

θ = 5.5 x 2π = 34.562 rad

angular acceleration in rad/s² is given as;

$\alpha = \frac{20 \ rev}{min} *\frac{1}{s} *(\frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev } *\frac{1 \ min}{60 \ s}) \\\\\alpha = 2.1 \ rad/s^2$

(a)

The final angular speed is given as;

$\omega _f^2 = \omega_i ^2 + 2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f^2 = 0 + 2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f^2 = 2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f = \sqrt{2\alpha \theta}\\\\ \omega _f = \sqrt{2(2.1) (34.562)}\\\\ \omega _f = 12.05 \ rad/s$

(b) the time taken to turn 5.5 revolutions is given as

$\omega _f = \omega _i + \alpha t\\\\12.05 = 0 + 2.1t\\\\t = \frac{12.05}{2.1} \\\\t = 5.74 \ s$

A girl is out jogging at 2.00 m/s and accelerates at 1.50 m/s^2 until she reaches a velocity of 5.00 m/s. How far does she get?

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

7.00 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 2.00 m/s

v = 5.00 m/s

a = 1.50 m/s²

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(5.00 m/s)² = (2.00 m/s)² + 2(1.50 m/s²)Δx

Δx = 7.00 m
