Does air pressure increase or decrease with an increase in altitude?

Physics
2 answers:
adell [148]4 years ago

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've been called in to investigate a car accident by the Bluffs. A car went over a 7.93 meter high cliff
valina [46]

Explanation:

Use the height of the cliff to determine how long it took the car to land.

Take down to be positive.  Given:

Δy = 7.93 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

7.93 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 1.27 s

Use the time to calculate the horizontal velocity.

Given:

Δx = 26.7 m

a = 0 m/s²

Find: v₀

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

26.7 m = v₀ (1.27 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (1.27 s)²

v₀ = 21.0 m/s

The driver was going 21.0 m/s, faster than the speed limit of 9.72 m/s.
