Air pressure decreases at what rate?
As you go above the sea level, pressure of air decreases.Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1 atm.On top of mountain, air is thin which suggests less atmospheric pressure at that place.
How much lift is exerted on the wings of an airplane that have a total surface area of 108 m when the difference in air pressure below and above the wings is 5 percent of atmospheric pressure?
What type of airplane, how much does it weigh, and how fast is it traveling. Is it flying level to the horizon, or is it increasing/decreasing elevation. You have to take in to account these factors before you can answer that question.
Does the sea have more air pressure than the mountain?
The higher the elevation the lower the air pressure. Sea level is considered the standard for air pressure measurement.
Normal air pressure is greatest at?
Sea level.
Why doest air pressure crush objects such as a desk?
Because that air pressure is the same on all sides and inside objects. If you were to seal a container at the top of Mt. Everest, Then took it down to Sea Level, It might crush (depending on the strength of the container) because the air pressure inside would be much less (the same as at the Peak where you sealed it) then it is at sea level.
How much air pressure is on you if i'm below sea level?
Below sea level atmospheric pressure increases with depth. Air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psia. Air pressure below sea level would be slightly higher.
How much pressure is exerted by air at sea level?
1013 mb
How much does a basketball weigh in kilos?
1.5 Kilos is the heaviest, but typically the ball would weigh around 800 grams
How do you weigh air pressure?
With a barometer.
Can warm air pressure weigh more than cold air pressure?
yes
How much pressure is in the mesosphere?
The pressure is very low. At the bottom of the mesosphere, the pressure is about one thousandth of sea level air pressure. At the top of the mesosphere the pressure is down to only about one millionth of sea level pressure.
Where is air pressure the greatest?
The air pressure is greatest at sea level.
Where is air pressure weakest?
The lower you go into the sea level, the greater the air pressure. The higher you go above the sea level, the lower the air pressure.
What is the air pressure at sea level called?
Sea level pressure, sometimes as mean sea level pressure.
The measurement of air pressure at sea level is called?
Sea level pressure.
What are the pressure conditions of the air above the equator?
Air pressure depends mainly on altitude - how high you are above sea level. The lattitude doesn't make much difference.
Which altitudes would have the lowest air pressure and why?
The highest altitudes have the lowest air pressure. Air pressure increases as altitude decreases. Above sea level is lower pressure; below sea level is higher pressure.
