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.

True or false: Ultimate tensile strength increases as the thickness of a solid material sample increases.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Tensile strength should remain constant, regardless of thickness. For larger cross sections, it can slightly increase because the atoms in the center become more constricted and therefore less responsive to the applied stress.

How does work affect energy between objects so it can cause a change in the form of energy? Work transfers energy. Work changes
IceJOKER [234]

'Doing work' is a way of transferring energy from one object to another, energy is transferred when a force moves through a distance.

If i explain with formula

Work done (J) = Energy transferred (J)

So more energy, more work done bc u transferred more energy to move the object and doing the work. and if you only use a little of energy, the work done also only a little.
