Explain why atmospheric pressure changes as atmospheric depth changes

1 answer:

7 0

The force of the collisions creates pressure on the container. ... Explain why atmospheric pressure changes as depth changes. Atmospheric pressure increases as depth increases because at lower levels of the atmosphere, there is more air above that is being pulled down by gravitational force.

A boulder on the mythical planet mongo drops off a cliff and falls from rest 1000 m in 10.0 s. (A) what's the initial speed of t

Amiraneli [1.4K]

At rest, initial speed zero

x=v(initial) t+ 1/2 at^2
-1000m=0(10) + 1/2 a 10^2
-1000m=50a
a = -20 m/s^2

neptune is an average distance of 4.5×10^12m from the sun. Estimate the length of the Neptunian year.

Vikentia [17]

As per Kepler's third law we know that

$\frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2} = \frac{R_1^3}{R_2^3}$

now here we know that

$T_1$ = year of Neptune

$T_2$ = year of Earth

$R_1$ = distance of Neptune from Sun

$R_2$ = Distance of Earth from Sun

so now we will have

$\frac{T_1^2}{1} = \frac{(4.5 \times 10^{12})^3}{(1.5 \times 10^11)^3}$

$T_1^2 = 27000$

$T_1 = 164.3 years$

so length of year of Neptune is 164.3 years

A 55-kg block, starting from rest, is pushed a distance of 5.0 m across a floor by a horizontal force Fp whose magnitude is 140

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The answer is "151.25 J and -547.64 J".

Explanation:

$u = 0\\\\v = 2.35\ \frac{m}{sec}\\\\d = 5.0 \ m\\\\$

Using formula:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2 \times a \times d\\\\2.35^2 = 0^2 + 2 \times a \times 5\\\\a = \frac{2.35^2}{10} \\\\$

$= 0.55 \ \frac{m}{sec^2}\\\\$

$F_{net} = m \times a\\\\F_{net} = 55 \times 0.55 = 30.25\ N\\\\$

Calculating the Work by net force

$W = F_{net}\times d\\\\W = 30.25 \times 5 = 151.25 \ J\\\\$

The above work is converted into thermal energy.

Now,

$F_{net} = F_p - F_f\\\\F_p = 140 \ N\\\\F_f = u_k\times m \times g = u_k \times 55 \times 9.81\\\\F_f = 539.55 \times u_k\\\\30.25 = 140 - u_k \times 55 \times 9.81\\\\u_k = \frac{(140 - 30.25)}{(55\times 9.81)}\\\\uk = 0.203 = \text{Coefficient of friction}\\\\W_f = -F_f \times d\\\\W_f = -0.203 \times 55 \times 9.81 \times 5\\\\Work\ done\ by\ friction = -547.64 \ J$

What is the maximum value of the magnetic field at a<br> distance2.5m from a 100-W light bulb?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the intensity included as the power transferred per unit area, where the area is the perpendicular plane in the direction of energy propagation.

Since the propagation occurs in an area of spherical figure we will have to

$I = \frac{P}{A}$
