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

When a 5.0kg cart undergoes a 2.2m/s increase in speed, what is the impulse of the cart
Karolina [17]

Answer:

11.0 kg m/s

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the cart is equal to its change in momentum:

I=\Delta p=m\Delta v

where

m = 5.0 kg is the mass of the cart

\Delta v=2.2 m/s is its change in speed

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

I=(5.0kg)(2.2 m/s)=11 kg m/s

During a football game, the running back changes direction from running 4.5 m/s [N] to 4.5 m/s [S] over 8 s. What is the acceler
Nimfa-mama [501]

Explanation:

Take north to be positive and south to be negative.

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (-4.5 m/s − 4.5 m/s) / 8 s

a = -1.125 m/s²

The acceleration is 1.125 m/s² south.
