Why does atmospheric pressure decrease with altitude.

Physics
1 answer:
ella [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<em>Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible. ... 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 meteorologists and mountaineers mean by "thin air." Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.</em>

What will be the mass of a body at the center of the earth as compared to other places on
Eduardwww [97]
The mass of the object does not change by moving it to another place. ... At the center of the earth the net gravitational force is zero, so the weight will be zero, but its masses will remain same. Hence the mass at the centre of earth will be equl to 50 kg.

explain the relationship between kinetic and potential energy in the example (the pic) while using the words mechanical energy a
BigorU [14]
PE is the energy acquired by a body due to its height ! While KE is the energy acquired by the body due to its motion !

KE+PE = mechanical energy and thus mechanical energy is always conserved due to the conservation of energy which states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but only transformed !

Two students side in carts opposite to one another in a spinning Ferris wheel as shown.
german

Net work done  on student B by the Ferris wheel in moving from the top to the bottom  is mathematically given as

net work done on A =0.

<h3>Net work done  </h3>

Generally the equation for the work energy theorem is mathematically given as

net work done on A = change in kinetic energy of A.

Where, angular velocity is constant.

change in kinetic energy = 0.

Hence, from work energy theorem,

net work done on A =0.
