Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST The kilopascal is a unit of measure for atmospheric pressure. Suppose the atmospheric air pressure at sea level is about 101 kilopascals. For every​ 1000-m increase in​ altitude, the pressure decreases about 11.9​%. What is the approximate pressure at an altitude of 2000 ​m?

Answer 1

Answer:

The formula to calculate pressure at an altitude in this case is:

P = original pressure x (1 + rate of change)^(number of changing)

in which,

original pressure = 101 kilopascals

rate of change = -11.9% = - 0.119

number of changing = 2000/1000 = 2

=> P = 101 x (1 - 0.119)^2 = 78.39 kilopascals

Hope this helps!
