Why pressure above the surface is greater than in the air​

Physics
1 answer:
nexus9112 [7]3 years ago
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.

A train travels 77 kilometers in 1 hour, and the 66 kilometers in 1 hour. What is the average speed?
Kipish [7]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance = (77km + 66km) = 143 kilometers

Time to cover the distance = 2 hours

Average speed = (143 km) / (2 hours) =  71.5 km per hour

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.15 × 1014 hz. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
Ket [755]
The energy carried by a single photon of frequency f is given by:
E=hf
where h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} m^2 kg s^{-1} is the Planck constant. In our problem, the frequency of the photon is f=7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, and by using these numbers we can find the energy of the photon:
E=(6.6\cdot 10^{-34}m^2 kg s^{-1})(7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz)=4.7 \cdot 10^{-19}J

……………………………………………………………..?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

First find the electrical wattage

W = I^2 * R

R = 12 ohms

I = 2 amps

Wattage = 2^2 * 12

Wattage = 4* 12

Wattage = 48 watts.

Now you need to use the power formula

Work = Power * Time

Work = ?

Power = 48 watts

Time = 3 minutes = 3 * 60 = 180 seconds.

Work = 48 * 180

Work = 8640 J

That's C
