Answer:

this is because as the altitude increases the number of air molecules decreases

Answer:

pressure=height × density×acc due to gravity

pressire is directly proportional to height hence it decreses with decrease in height

here air column height is measured upside down so decreases witn increment

If the moon is a full moon tonight what will be the moon one week later waxing or waning

tatiyna

-- Starting from nothing (New Moon), the moon's shape grows ('waxes')
for half of the cycle, until it's full, and then it shrinks ('wanes') for the next
half of the cycle.

-- The moon's complete cycle of phases runs 29.53 days . . . roughly
four weeks.

-- So, beginning from New Moon, it spends about two weeks waxing until
it's full, and then another two weeks waning until it's all gone again.

-- After a Full Moon, the moon is waning for the next two weeks. So it's
definitely waning at one week after Full.

Eating 2500 Cal every day a friend of mine maintains a stable weight of 70 kg. One day, after eating 3500 Cal, he decided to do

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calories to be burnt = 3500 - 2500 = 1000 Cals .

Efficiency of conversion to mechanical work is 25 % .

Work needed to burn this much of Cals = 1000 x 100 / 25 = 4000 Cals.

4000 Cals = 4.2 x 4000 = 16800 J .

Work done in one jump = kinetic energy while jumping

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 70 x 3.3²

= 381.15 J .

Number of jumps required = 16800 / 381.15

= 44 .

How to solve this step by step

victus00 [196]

Well, it goes 60 miles in one hour......so set up a ratio.....
60 miles/5 miles = 1 hr/x.....you'll get 60x = 5....then 5/60 would be 0.083

Julie throws a ball to her friend Sarah. The ball leaves Julie's hand a distance 1.5 meters above the ground with an initial spe

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. $V_{x}$ = $V_{0}$ * cos $\alpha$ ⇒ 16*cos32 ≈ 13.6 m/s (13.56)

2. $V_{y}$ = $V_{0}$ * sin $\alpha$ ⇒ 16* sin32 ≈ 9.4 m/s

3. $y_{max}$ = $\frac{v_{0}^2*sin^2\alpha}{2g}$ = $\frac{16^2*sin^232}{2*9.8}$ (the g (gravity) depends on the country but i'll take the average g which is 9.2m/s^2)
