How does air pressure change with altitude?

Physics
1 answer:
charle [14.2K]3 years ago

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

Who performed classic experiments that supported the semiconservative model of dna replication?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Meselson and Stahl

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

The classic experiment that supported the semiconservative model of dna replication was performed by Matthew Meselson and Franklin W. Stahl. In this model, the two strands of DNA unwind from each other, and each acts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. This results in two DNA molecules with one original strand and one new strand. They used E. coli bacteria as a model system.

A racecar accelerates from rest at 6.5 m/s2 for 4.1 s. How fast will it be going at the end of that time?
Pie

Answer:

The final velocity of the car is 26.65 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the racecar, a = 6.5 m/s²

initial velocity of the car, u = 0

time of motion, t = 4.1 s

The final velocity of the car is given by;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

suvstitute the givens

v = 0 + (6.5)(4.1)

v = 26.65 m/s.

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 26.65 m/s.

Explain why frog will not look green under the red light?
IrinaVladis [17]
A frog can be many different colours. It appears green under normal 'white' light because it absorbs all the other colours in the light's spectrum apart from green. It reflects the green light back and that is picked up by your eye.

If the light is red, there is no green in the spectrum of the light, only red. So, the red light will be absorbed and there is no green to be reflected back for you to see. Therefore, the frog will not look green.
