Why does air pressure decrease with increasing altitude?

Physics
1 answer:
Grace [21]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:
The weight of the air above is smaller

Explanation:

As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases. The air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what people mean by “thin air”. Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.

RC time constant circuit if R 50 KOC-21 a TOSS c. 1.05 s . what is the expected RC value b. 10.55 d. 0.105 s
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Time constant of RC circuit is 0.105 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R=50\ K\Omega=5\times 10^4\ \Omega

Capacitance, C=2.1\ \mu F=2.1\times 10^{-6}\ F

We need to find the expected time constant for this RC circuit. It can be calculated as :

\tau=R\times C

\tau=5\times 10^4\times 2.1\times 10^{-6}

\tau=0.105\ s

So, the time constant for this RC circuit is 0.105 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

A body is moving with a uniform acceleration of 2m/s² what does it mean?​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

the body has energy due to its constant motion. it means it moves in a uniform acceleration which has zero velocity

Explanation:

Uniform or constant acceleration is a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal time period.

Which of these statements best describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field?
Sveta_85 [38]
The only statement that makes sense as to which one describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field is the first one - <span>Southern lights are seen at high altitude places like Alaska.
Normally, Southern lights are seen around the South Pole, which means that it is quite odd for them to be seen in Alaska, which is near the North Pole.</span>

A car of mass m goes around a banked curve of radius r with speed v. If the road is frictionless due to ice, the car can still n
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

horizontal component of normal force is equal to the centripetal force on the car

Explanation:

As the car is moving with uniform speed in circle then the force required to move in the circle is towards the center of the circle

This force is due to friction force when car is moving in circle with uniform speed

Now it is given that car is moving on the ice surface such that the friction force is zero now

so here we can say that centripetal force is due to component of the normal force which is due to banked road

Now we have

N sin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}

N cos\theta = mg

so we have

v = \sqrt{Rg tan\theta}

so this is horizontal component of normal force is equal to the centripetal force on the car

The s.I unit of R so that the equation velocity= R × density S dimensionally correct R is a constant
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

R = m⁴/kg . s

Explanation:

In this case, the best way to solve this is working with the units in the expression.

The units of velocity (V) are m/s

The units of density (d) are kg/m³

And R is a constant

If the expression is:

V = R * d

Replacing the units and solving for R we have

m/s = kg/m³ * R

m * m³ / s = kg * R

R = m * m³ / kg . s

<h2>R = m⁴ / kg . s</h2>

This should be the units of R

Hope this helps
