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 :)

two forces have the same magnitude F, what is the angle between the two vectors if their sum has a magnitude of (a) 2F? (b) sqrt
kramer
Ok let me help you with this:
<span>
!n case a) Line both up head-to-tail in a straight line... that's the only way to get a sum 2F. In case b) sqrt(2) is the length of the hypotenuse in a 45 degree triangle, so the vectors must be at 90 degrees to each other in the case of c) lined up head to tail, the only way to get 0 is if they point in opposite direction</span>

A mass is suspended on a vertical spring. Initially, the mass is in equilibrium. Then, it is pulled downward and released. The m
anastassius [24]

Answer:

d. from the equilibrium position to the bottom and then back to the equilibrium.

g. from the top position to the bottom and then back to the top.

h. from the bottom position to the top and then back to the bottom.

Explanation:

It is the case of SHM or Simple Harmonic Motion. Firstly, there is a need to understand the time interval or time period. The standard definition of time period in simple harmonic motion is

"the time period required for the system to complete its one cycle"

Now one have to consider that  the system given above, the motion of mass attached to spring will follow the path of motion from equilibrium point to bottom to equilibrium point to top, then equilibrium point to the bottom and so on.

to choose right answer you must have to consider the option, in which the starting point and ending point of the mass is same. If mass starts from top, the time it will take to reach on top again, will be defined as its time period and so in the case of bottom or equilibrium as starting point. Hence, "d", "g" and "h" are right answers.

A block of mass m rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A cord attached to the block passes over a pulley whose radius is
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the tension in the cord be T₁ and T₂  .

for motion of block placed on horizontal table

T₁ = m a  , a is acceleration of the whole system .

for motion of hanging bucket of mass m

mg - T₂ = ma

adding the two equation

mg + T₁- T₂ = 2ma

for rotational motion of the pulley

torque = moment of inertia x angular acceleration

(T₂ - T₁) R = I x α , I is moment of inertia of pulley , α is angular acceleration .

(mg - 2ma ) R = I x α

(mg - 2ma ) R = I x a / R

(mg - 2ma ) R² = I x a

mgR² =  2ma R² + I x a

a = mgR² / (2m R² + I )

Since body moves by distance d in time T

d = 1/2 a T²

a = 2d / T²

mgR² / (2m R² + I ) = 2d / T²

mgR²T² = 2d x (2m R² + I )

mgR²T² -  4dm R² =  2dI

m R² ( gT² - 4d ) = 2dI

I =  m R² ( gT² - 4d ) ] / 2d .
