How does altitude affect the density and pressure of air?
Altitude affects density and pressure by decreasing when it increases.
What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the exosphere?
as altitude increases temperature decreases
Does the rotation of the earth affect the azimuth and altitude?
The variation of the apparent azimuth and altitude of everything we see in the sky is the result of Earth's rotation.
Does the rotation of the earth affect azimuth and altitude?
The variation of the apparent azimuth and altitude of everything we see in the sky is the result of Earth's rotation.
What happens to Critical Mach number with altitude?
Critical Mach Number has nothing (directly) to do with altitude. Mach Number has everything to do Temperature,
Have Yu-Gi-Oh cards decreased in value?
a lot, as everything because of the recession and decreasing popularity.
How do you know on a topograghical map it there is a hill or a depression?
You look at the contours. Steeply sloping contours with numbers that are increasing usually indicate that the height is increasing, and may be an indicator for hills. Contrastingly, steeply sloping contours with decreasing numbers indicate a decreasing altitude, and may indicate a depression or a valley.
How does altitude help you in baseball?
Air density decreases with altitude on the sea level. With the air density decrease, also the air viscosity decreases, so decreasing the resistance the air oppose to the movement of the baseball ball. Thus, playing baseball at a great altitude (like in Mexico city for example, that is at 2420 meters on the sea level) allows longer balls trajectories.
What is heterosphere mean?
The atmosphere above 80km (50 mi) and the homosphere where gases are stratified, with concentrations of the heavier gases decreasing more rapidly with altitude than concentrations of the lighter gases
How Spacecraft orbit the Earth?
same way everything orbits everything else in space. spacecraft are boosted up to orbital velocities and the appropriate altitude, physics does the rest.
What is the speed of a jet plane traveling at the speed of sound?
It depends on the aircraft's altitude. The speed of sound is decreasing as altitude increases, thus an airplane flying at the speed of sound at 1000 feet will be traveling as fast as 1200 kilometers per hour, while one flying at 30000 feet will be moving way slower, in the 800 kph range.
Why does your 1992 dodge ram 250 loose acceleration at high altitude?
Because as atmospheric pressure drops with altitude, the total oxygen available to the engine drops. The fuel injection maintains the mixture by decreasing the fuel flow. Rule of thumb - at 8500' MSL, a normally-aspirated engine will produce about 50% of the power it produces at sea level.
