Why does atmospheric pressure decrease with altitude.

Physics
1 answer:
ella [17]2 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>

How would the period of a simple pendulum be affected if it were located on the moon instead of the earth?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

On moon time period will become 2.45 times of the time period on earth

Explanation:

Time period of simple pendulum is equal to T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} ....eqn 1 here l is length of the pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity on earth

As when we go to moon, acceleration due to gravity on moon is \frac{1}{6} times os acceleration due to gravity on earth

So time period of pendulum on moon is equal to

T_{moon}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{\frac{g}{6}}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{6l}{g}} --------eqn 2

Dividing eqn 2 by eqn 1

\frac{T_{moon}}{T}=\sqrt{\frac{6l}{g}\times \frac{g}{l}}

T_{moon}=\sqrt{6}T=2.45T

So on moon time period will become 2.45 times of the time period on earth

A telescope is used to take two images, one magnified 100x and the other magnified 400x. In which image would you be able to see
lara [203]

We can see the image in most detail that having 400x magnification as compared to 100x.

<h3>What is magnification?</h3>

Magnification is the process in which the size of an object is enlarging but not physical size of something. Those instruments having high magnification power can shows us the image larger and due to which we can see that image clearly.

So we can conclude that we can see the image in most detail that having 400x magnification.

A block of metal has a width of 3.2 cm, a length of 17.1 cm, and height of 3.8 cm . its mass is 1.3 kg . calculate the density o
evablogger [386]
Density(rho) = m/v
(1.3)/((3.2)(17.1)(3.8))
since density is given in kg/m^3 you should convert the blocks dimensions to meters

1.3/(0.032*0.038*0.171)

plugging in these numbers would give you the density

1.3/0.000208
6250
with sigfigs= 6300kg/m^3
