Earth’s atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium. What this means is that the pressure at any point in the atmosphere must be hi

gh enough to support the weight of air above it. How would you expect the pressure on Mt. Everest to differ from the pressure in your classroom? Explain why.

Answer: The pressure that one experiences on the Mount Everest will be different from the one, in a classroom. It is because pressure and height are inversely proportional to each other. This means that as we move up, the height keeps on increasing but the pressure will keep on decreasing. This is the case that will be observed when one stands on the Mount Everest as the pressure is comparatively much lower there.

It is because as we move up, the amount of air molecules keeps on decreasing but all of the air molecules are concentrated on the lower part of the atmosphere or on the earth's surface.

Thus a person in a low altitude inside a classroom will experience high pressure and a person standing on the Mount Everest will experience low pressure.

How far will a 70N crate is move with 3500J of work
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Work = Force * distance
Force = 70 N
Work = 3500 J

3500 = 70d
d = 3500/70 = 50 m

At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. A plane flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v
Anna007 [38]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of linear motion. For this purpose we will define the speed as the distance traveled in a given period of time. Here the distance is equivalent to the orbit traveled around the earth, that is, a circle. Approaching the height of the aircraft with the radius of the earth, we will have the following data,

R= 6370*10^3 m

v = 219m/s

a = 17m/s^2

The circumference of the earth would be

\phi = 2\pi R

Velocity is defined as,

v = \frac{x}{t}

t = \frac{x}{v}

Herex = \phi, then

t = \frac{\phi}{v} = \frac{2\pi (6370*10^3)}{219}

t = 1.82*10^5s

Therefore will take 1.82*10^5 s or 506 hours, 19 minutes, 17 seconds

Caffeine concentration is 1.99 mg/oz how many cans would be leathal if 10g was leathal and there where 12oz in a can
katovenus [111]

The number of cans that would be considered lethal if 10g was lethal and there where 12oz in a can is 419 cans.

<h3>How to convert mass?</h3>

According to this question, caffeine concentration is 1.99 mg/oz.

1.99 milligrams can be converted to grams as follows:

1.99milligrams ÷ 1000 = 0.00199grams

This means that 0.00199grams per oz is the caffeine concentration.

If there were 12 oz in a can, then, 0.00199grams × 12 = 0.02388 grams in 1 can.

This means that if 10grams is considered lethal, 10grams ÷ 0.02388 grams = 419 cans would be lethal for consumption.

Therefore, the number of cans that would be considered lethal if 10g was lethal and there where 12oz in a can is 419 cans.
