How does air pressure change with altitude?

Physics
1 answer:
charle [14.2K]3 years ago
3 0
Air pressure changes with altitude because of issues related to gravity. Molecules have more weight the closer they are to the Earth and more of them move to lower elevations as a result; this causes increased pressure because there are more molecules in number and proximity. Conversely, air at higher elevations has less weight, but also forces pressure on those layers below it, resulting in the molecules closer to the Earth supporting more weight, increasing the pressure

UkoKoshka [18]

ANSWER:

a. Velocity decreased

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

If the person inside the bus experiences a forward movement, this means that the bus is braking, since by action-reaction to compensate for the movement, the body moves forward.

When braking, it means that there is a decrease in speed, therefore, the correct answer is a. Velocity decreased

What is the primary force help suspension bridges use cables to hold there spans up
snow_tiger [21]

Explanation:

Suspension bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, use tension force as the primary source of force that cables use to hold their spans up. The supporting cables receive the tension forces of the bridge, and this same force passes to the anchorages and into the ground

If you are pushing on a box with a force of 20 N and there is a 7 N force on the box due to sliding friction, what is the net fo
vovangra [49]

Answer:

13 N

Explanation:

The Net Force of an object should be the difference between the forces applied to the object if the object is not in equilibrium. This object is not in equilibrium so therefore by finding the difference between the forces, you will find your answer. 20 N - 7 N = 13 N.

I am Lyosha [343]

The steps in the heating of a metal seat in a park are:

Step 1: Heat travels from the sun to Earth

Step 2: Heat travels through atmosphere to the top of the seat

Step 3: Heat from the top of the seat travels through the seat to the lower parts of the seat.

-- Heat is transferred by radiation in Step 1 and Step 2. <em>(B)</em>

-- From the top of the seat to the bottom, heat is transferred by conduction.  

There's no convection happening anywhere in the park-hot-seat scenario.
