How does air pressure change with altitude?

1 answer:

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

A 1.20 kg water balloon will break if it experiences more than 530 N of force. Your 'friend' whips the water balloon toward you

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

t = 0.029s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the interaction time at the moment of catching the ball, you take into account that the force exerted on an object is also given by the change, on time, of its linear momentum:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ (1)

m: mass of the water balloon = 1.20kg

Δv: change in the speed of the balloon = v2 - v1

v2: final speed = 0m/s (the balloon stops in my hands)

v1: initial speed = 13.0m/s

Δt: interaction time = ?

The water balloon brakes if the force is more than 530N. You solve the equation (1) for Δt and replace the values of the other parameters:

$|F|=|530N|= |m\frac{v_2-v_1}{\Delta t}|\\\\|530N|=| (1.20kg)\frac{0m/s-13.0m/s}{\Delta t}|\\\\\Delta t=0.029s$

The interaction time to avoid that the water balloon breaks is 0.029s

Answer:

(1) Resonance

Explanation:

Resonance is the process whereby a system is set into vibration due to the vibration of a nearby system with larger amplitude. The frequency at which this vibration takes place is called the resonant frequency.

It is a phenomenon of amplification that occurs when the frequency of a periodically applied force is in harmonic proportion to the natural frequency of the system on which it acts.

Why are moving iron instrument are of repulsion type

never [62]

Answer:

he spring provides the controlling torque. The air friction induces the damping torque, which opposes the movement of the coil. The repulsion type instrument is a non-polarized instrument, i.e., free from the direction of current passes through it. Thus, it is used for both AC and DC
