Atmospheric pressure will decrease as altitude increases.
The opposite is true. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude.
When standard atmospheric conditions exist.
It will increase. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude and increases as you move toward sea level. At sea level, atmospheric pressure = 1.0
the air decreases or wind
Airplanes need to be pressurized because the atmospheric pressure, at such a high altitude, acts upon your body. Your body is trying to adjust to maintain equal pressure, causing your ears pop. Because your body cannot maintain equal pressure by itself, the airplane makes up for the rest of the pressure that is needed to equalize the atmospheric pressure.
An altimeter is sensitive to atmospheric pressure and can show the altitude of the aircraft based on the change in atmospheric pressure from the aircraft ascending and descending. Likewise, a barometer, is sensitive to atmospheric pressure.
Atmospheric pressure will decrease as altitude increases.
Yes. Hard disk's do have some limitations of use at altitude, but those are generally related to atmospheric pressure at altitude. Since an airplane cabin is pressurized equivalent to 8000ft, the cabin of an airplane is still within the operating limits of hard drives (generally below 9500 ft). Whether or not the flight attendants will think you are a terrorist and take your camcorder is another story.
In a commercial airliner flying at cruising altitude, the air pressure inside the airplane is considerably higher than the air pressure outside. The air pressure outside is too low for people to breathe comfortably, so the interior is pressurized.
No. Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases.
The opposite is true. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude.
A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can also measure altitude!
An airliner might fly at 36,000 feet above sea level, which is a mile higher than the summit of Mount Everest. The air is so thin at this altitude that you'd pass out in 20-30 seconds from a lack of oxygen if the airplane were not pressurized. The only way to get around that is to either make passengers wear oxygen masks or pressurize the airplane so that the air is about as thick as it is on the ground. Most people aren't keen on wearing oxygen masks, so pressurization is the usual choice today.When up in the altitude, atmospheric pressure goes down. In order to breathe in that altitude the cabin has to pressurized.
as altitude rises less there is less atmospheric pressure
