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 :)

What is the pressure if a force of 200 N is applied over an area of
Gelneren [198K]

The pressure is 4 N / c m^{2}.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Pressure defines the force acting per single area. So depending upon the amount of force acting over a given area in the perpendicular direction of the object, the pressure acting on that area will vary.

So the pressure is directly proportionate to the applied force on a particular region and inversely proportionate into the areas of the region. Hence, the unit of pressure is considered as  N / c m^{2} or Pascal. Pressure can also be termed as the number of air molecules present in a specified closed region. Thus, for the present condition

              \text { Pressure }=\frac{\text { Force }}{\text { Area }}

Thus, by appling the given values in the above equation, we get,

              \text { Pressure }=\frac{200}{50} =  4 N / c m^{2}

So the pressure is 4 N / c m^{2}.
