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

A grinding wheel is a uniform cylinder with a radius of 8.65 cm and a mass of 0.400 kg . Calculate its moment of inertia about i

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

I = 1.5*10⁻³ kg*m²

Explanation:

It can be showed that the moment of inertia (or rotational inertia) for a uniform cylinder of mass m and radius r, respect an longitudinal axis going through its center (parallel to the height of the cylinder) can be written as follows:

$I = \frac{1}{2}*m*r^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*0.400 kg*(0.0865m)^{2} = 1.5e-3 kg*m2$

Name human body organs where magnetism is significant

ser-zykov [4K]

It has been hypothesized, and some studies have supported the conjecture,
that certain species of insects and birds are able to sense the direction of external
magnetic fields.

I don't think there is any such notion where human beings are concerned.

A potter’s wheel moves from rest to an angular speed of 0.50 rev/s in 28.9 s. Assuming constant angular acceleration, what is it

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

0.108 rad/s².

Explanation:

Given that

Initial angular velocity ,ωi = 0 rad/s

Final angular velocity ωf= 0.5 rev/s

We know that

1 rev/s = 6.28 rad/s

ωf= 3.14 rad/s

t= 28.9 s

We know that (if acceleration is constant)

ωf=ωi + α t

α=Angular acceleration

3.14 = 0 + α x 28.9

$\alpha=\dfrac{3.14}{28.9}\ rad/s^2\\\alpha=0.108\ rad/s^2$

Therefore the acceleration will be 0.108 rad/s².

Therefore the answer will be 0.108 rad/s².
