Why pressure above the surface is greater than in the air

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels. ... Since most of the atmosphere's molecules are held close to the earth's surface by the force of gravity, air pressure decreases rapidly at first, then more slowly at higher levels.

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

1. What was the diameter of the hailstone in inches_5.09_ and in cm___12.92___ and in feet ____0.42___?

2. What was the total volume of the hailstone in cubic inches___68.64___ and cubic feet____0.03____?

3. What was the fall velocity of this hailstone in m/s_____2.584____ and in mph___5.78_____?

Explanation:

1. If the circumference (L) of the stone is 16 inches, then from the following equation

$L = 2\pi R$

$R = \frac{L}{2\pi} = \frac{16}{2\pi} = 2.54 ~inches$

$D = 2R = 5.09 ft$

1 inch = 2.54 cm = 0.08 ft, so 5.09 inches = 12..92 cm = 0.42 ft

2. The total volume is

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi (2.54)^3 = 68.64~in^3\\68.64 ~in^3 = 0.03~ft^3$

3. The fall velocity is V = kd, where k = 20 if d is in cm. Let's calculate the fall velocity in cm.

$V = 20*12.92 = 258.4~cm/s = 2.584~m/s$

2.584 m/s = 5.78 mph
