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

g A cylinder of mass m is free to slide in a vertical tube. The kinetic friction force between the cylinder and the walls of the
sdas [7]

Answer:

The vertical distance is  d = \frac{2}{k} *[mg + f]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the cylinder is  m

    The kinetic frictional force is  f

Generally from the work energy theorem

    E  =  P +  W_f

Here E the the energy of the spring which is increasing and this is mathematically represented as

       E =  \frac{1}{2} * k  *  d^2

Here k is the spring constant

        P is the potential energy of the cylinder which is mathematically represented as

     P  = mgd

And

     W_f  is the workdone by friction which is mathematically represented as

      W_f  =  f *  d

So

    \frac{1}{2} * k  *  d^2 =  mgd +  f *  d

=>    \frac{1}{2} * k  *  d^2 =  d[mg +  f    ]

=>  \frac{1}{2} * k  *  d =  [mg +  f    ]

=> d = \frac{2}{k} *[mg + f]

What is the mass amount of a Proton and a Neutron?
zysi [14]

The masses amount of a proton and neutron are 1.0087 and 1.0073 amu respectively.

<h3>What is a Proton?</h3>

This is defined as  sub atomic particle which is positively charged and is present in the nucleus while the neutron is also a particle present in the nucleus but has a neutral charge.

Electrons on the other hand are found outside the nucleus and are negatively charged. It is the sub atomic particle which is actively involved in a chemical reaction.

The masses of neutron and proton are 1.0087 and 1.0073 amu respectively and was discovered by scientists thereby making it the most appropriate choice.
