If there is a difference in air pressure between two locations, what happens?

2 answers:

6 0

Movement of air caused by temperature or pressure differences is wind. Where there are differences of pressure between two places, a pressure gradient exists, across which air moves: from the high pressure region to the low pressure region. This movement of air, however, does not follow the quickest straight line path hope this helps!

Answer:

High in the atmosphere, air pressure decreases. ... A low pressure system has lower pressure at its center than the areas around it. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. As the air rises, the water vapor within it condenses, forming clouds and often precipitation.

That 1.5 kg brick falls to the ground. What is the kinetic energy when the brick is moving at 26 m/s? Formula: Variables: Work w

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

$k = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\$

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

$k = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.5 \times {26}^{2} \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.5 \times 676 \\ = 1.5 \times 338 \\ = 507$

We have the final answer as

A 72-kg skydiver is falling from 10000 feet. At an instant during the fall, the skydiver

MissTica

Answer:

Approximately $2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .)

Explanation:

Assuming that $g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ the weight on this 72-kg skydiver would be $W = m \cdot g = 72 \; \rm kg \times 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} = 706.32\; \rm N$ (points downwards.)

Air resistance is supposed to act in the opposite direction of the motion. Since this skydiver is moving downwards, the air resistance on the skydiver would point upwards.

Therefore, the net force on this skydiver should be the difference between the weight and the air resistance on the skydiver:

$\begin{aligned}F(\text{net force}) &= W - F(\text{air resistance})\\ &= 706.32\; \rm N - 540\; \rm N =166.32\; \rm N \end{aligned}$ .

Apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the acceleration of this skydiver:

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{F(\text{net force})}{m} \\ &= \frac{166.32\; \rm N}{72\; \rm kg} = 2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .
