Why is it hard to breathe when you go higher up

Physics
1 answer:
Fantom [35]3 years ago
8 0

When we breathe in air at sea level, the atmospheric pressure of about 14.7 pounds per square inch (1.04 kg. per cm.2) causes oxygen to easily pass through selectively permeable lung membranes into the blood. At high altitudes, the lower air pressure makes it more difficult for oxygen to enter our vascular systems.

hope this helps :)

Energy is always conserved. It cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred between objects or systems, from
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Have in mind: Energy is always conserved and, (...) be transferred between objects or systems, from one form to another.

Hence, the true relation is C, when a system gains kinetic energy, it loses potential energy.

Think about this,

K + P = constant

If K increases, then P need to decreases to holds the above relation.

A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of 11.0 m/s. how long does h
noname [10]
The shot putter should get out of the way before the ball returns to the launch position.

Assume that the launch height is the reference height of zero.
u = 11.0 m/s, upward launch velocity.
g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity.

The time when the ball is at the reference position (of zero) is given by
ut - (1/2)gt² = 0
11t - 0.5*9.8t² = 0
t(11 - 4.9t) = 0
t = 0 or t = 4.9/11 =  0.45 s

t = 0 corresponds to when the ball is launched.
t = 0.45 corresponds to when the ball returns to the launch position.

Answer: 0.45 s

A person with a mass of 80 kg has a force of gravity from the earth on them of about 800 N. This person is standing on a scale w
LenKa [72]

Answer:

So scale will read a force force of 880 N

Explanation:

We have given that mass of the person m = 80 kg

Force of gravity from the earth F = 800 N

We know that force is given by F=mg

So 800=80\times g

g=10m/sec^2

It is given that acceleration of the elevator a = 1m/sec^2

We have to find the force which scale read

So force is given by F=m(g+a)=80(10+1)=880N

So scale will read a force force of 880 N

When you push down on a block resting on a table, block atoms and table atoms that are in contact with one another
mylen [45]
Maintain their positions.

Solids are incompressible, just like liquids. The electrostatic forces between the atoms of block and the atoms of table prevent the two objects from moving into one another.
