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 :)

if the amplitude of sine curve is 4 and the frequency is 1 with no phase shift, what is the function that descirbes this curve?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

y = 4 Sin (2πt)

Explanation:

Amplitude, A = 4

frequency, f = 1

Wave function is given by

y = A sinωt

where, ω is angular frequency

ω = 2 π f = 2 π x 1 = 2π

So, the desired wave function

y = 4 Sin (2πt)
