Why is atomaspheric pressure greater at the surface on Earth

Physics

Because there are miles of air on top of you and air has mass so all the mass of the air on top of you is on your head and the ground. (the air can't penetrate the ground)

Take note: Air is also denser at sea level because it was compressed.

Hello!

Because as you get closer to the surface of the earth, the more air that is on top of you. At the top of the atmosphere, there is less air, and everything is a vacuum, where you have no weight. When you get close to the earth, the weight of the air builds until it when you're at the very lowest point of the earths surface, all the air in the atmosphere above you is pressing down.

Thank You!

A transform boundary occurs where two tectonic plates _____.?
gladu [14]

Where they slide over each other.

Transform boundaries are formed or occur when two plates slide past each other in a sideways motion.  They do not tear or crunch into each other (but the rock in between them may be ground up) and therefore none of the spectacular features are seen such as occur in divergent and convergent boundaries.

In a transform boundary, neither plate is added to at the boundary nor destroyed.  They are marked in some places by features like  stream beds that have been split in half and the two halves moved in opposite directions.

A fan cart initially has an acceleration of 1.6m/s/s when it's fan is directed straight backwards. If you rotate the fan by 45°,
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

A Fan Cart Initially Has An Acceleration Of 1.6m/s/s When It's Fan Is Directed Straight Backwards. If You Rotate The Fan By 45o, By What Percentage Do You Expect The Fan Cart's Thrust To Decrease? (Answer Should Be In Units Of 96)

a. 45%

b. 29%

c. 71%

d. 50%

The correct answer is d.

d. 50%

Explanation:

Fan cart acceleration = 1.6 m/s²

Thrust = 0.25×π×D²×ρ×v×Δv

where Δv = acceleration component and all factors remaining cconstant, when the fan is rotated by 45 ° the diameter changes to D₂ = sin 45 ×D

or 0.707×D. The thrust becomes 0.25×π×(0.707×D)²×ρ×v×Δv

=0.25×π×0.5×D²×ρ×v×Δv or 0.5(0.25×π×D²×ρ×v×Δv)

That is the thrust reduces by 50 %

What does it mean to say that science is a “systematic” process?
Maurinko [17]
Systematic is just a certain way of doing something. So science being systematic may just refer to the scientific method or how theories are proved in science by repeating the scientific method over and over again.
