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>

NARA [144]

Answer:

11,890

Explanation:

First we need to know what is considered a significant figure.

A significant figure is a value that is not a zero at the start OR end of a value.

Which means, the 0 in the value of 90 or 0.363 are not considered a significant figure.

The 0 in the value of 3056 is considered a significant figure.

So from the table, we can deduce:

0.275 has 3 significant figures

750 has 2 significant figures

10.4 \times  {10}^{5}  = 1040000

has 3 significant figures.

11,890 has 4 significant figures.

320,050 has 5 significant figures.

So from the above, we can already see the answer.

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy = volt x charge

= 12 x 750000 J

= 9000,000 J

Latent heat of vaporisation

= 2260000 J / kg

kg of water vaporised

= 9000,000 / 2260000

= 3.982 kg .
