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

The speed of a moving bullet can be deter-

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Linear Speed</u>

The linear speed of the bullet is calculated by the formula:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}$

Where:

x = Distance traveled

t = Time needed to travel x

We are given the distance the bullet travels x=61 cm = 0.61 m. We need to determine the time the bullet took to make the holes between the two disks.

The formula for the angular speed of a rotating object is:

$\displaystyle \omega=\frac{\theta}{t}$

Where θ is the angular displacement and t is the time. Solving for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{\theta}{\omega}$

The angular displacement is θ=14°. Converting to radians:

$\theta=14*\pi/180=0.2443\ rad$

The angular speed is w=1436 rev/min. Converting to rad/s:

$\omega = 1436*2\pi/60=150.3776\ rad/s$

Thus the time is:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{0.2443\ rad}{150.3776\ rad/s}$

t = 0.0016 s

Thus the speed of the bullet is:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{0.61}{0.0016}$

v = 381 m/s

A charged box ( m = 495 g, q = + 2.50 μ C ) is placed on a frictionless incline plane. Another charged box ( Q = + 75.0 μ C ) is

Rudik [331]

Answer:

$a=16.2m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

From the attached file diagram, the total force acting on the charged box is the downward weight and the repulsive force acting in opposite to the weight force . Hence we can write the total force as

$F=masin\alpha -\frac{kQq}{r^{2}} \\\alpha =35^{0}, m=0.495kg, r=0.61m, Q=2.5*10^{-6}, q=75.0*10^{-6}\\$

When fixed,F=o

Hence

$masin\alpha =\frac{kQq}{r^{2}}\\0.495kg*asin35=\frac{9*10^{9}*2.5*10^{-6}*75.0*10^{-6}}{0.61^{2}} \\0.28a=4.5351\\a=\frac{4.5351}{0.28}\\\\ a=16.2m/s^{2}$

The value of the acceleration is 16.2m/s^2
