What is the elevation of Albuquerque NM?
Because the city of Albuquerque is located on a few different geological features including mesas and of course the Sandia mountains, the altitude varies between 5,000 to 7,000 ft. (approximately).
In a fluid filled container why is the pressure greater at the base of the container?
Because Feck you, Goddamn cheating kids.
What is the force in pounds exerted upwards on a piston with a diameter of 4 inches if a gauge indicates the internal pressure in the cylinder is 1000 psi?
Pressure = force / area,so: force = pressure x area You would first have to calculate the area.
How many times smaller is a toothpick to a pencil?
Because not all toothpicks and not all pencils are of a uniform size, the answer varies depending on the particular toothpick and particular pencil. As an example, let's suppose that the pencil is 6 inches long, and that the toothpick is 2. The toothpick is, in this case, 2/6 the size of the pencil, or (reducing the fraction) 1/3 its size, which is approximately 33%.
Identify 3 true statments about CBU's?
- The dispenser, because of their appearance, are listed in the UXO chart as Class A4:Bombs - Dispensers can also contain explosive or spring-pressure hazards - CBUs sometimes fail to open and impact as a whole unit.
At what part of the earth's surface is the atmospheric pressure the minimum?
The tops of mountains have the consistently lowest air pressure, because density decreases with altitude. The simplest explanation is that there is "less air pushing down" when you are at a higher altitude.
How does barometric pressure change with altitude?
Because pressure decreases as you go up in altitude and increases when you go down in altitude. Hope this helped!
Why are mountain peaks cold?
not neccesarily because of the cold climates but since they have a high altitude they get the snow that doesnt melt before reaching the point where humans live, where it is warmer. mountains are cold themselves
Why are mountains icy?
Mountains are icy because the altitude makes the air cold, which makes the tops freeze.
Does melting point and boiling point of liquid changes from altitude to altitude?
The boiling point depends on altitude (pressure). The effect on the melting point is not significant.
What happens to atmospheric pressure as altitude increase?
This would actually be a simple answer: Pressure decreases. Simply because of the fact that as altitude increases, the less air there is on top of you, and the lower the pressure would be.
Why does atmospheric pressure varies from place to place?
Atmospheric pressure varies due to elevation (altitude) and because of the motion of air masses over the surface. For altitude differences, the pressure is the result of the surrounding air. Higher pressure is experienced at lower altitudes just as higher pressure is found in greater depths within a body of water. A simple explanation is that the "column of air" above a surface "pushing down" is much shorter if you move higher into the "sea of air." This lower weight is expressed as lower pressure, which represents fewer molecules within a given volume of air. The higher the altitude (eg. mountains) = The lesser the atmospheric pressure The lower the altitude (eg. sea level) = The higher the atmospheric pressure
Why is it that when you go up a mountain you get colder because your near to the sun?
because air pressure decreases as altitude increases. As air rises, the pressure decreases. It is the lower pressure at higher altitude that causes temperature to be colder on the top of a mountain compared to sea level.
Why don' t people want to live in fold mountains?
Because due to Very bad weather conditions, and also the altitude of the mountains, The higher the altitude the less oxygen, so people will find it harder to breath.
Why do nose bleed at high altitude?
because the pressure is high and temperature is low
Why do Rocky Mountains have sharp peaks?
Because when the evaportation effects the cold drop in temeprature the weather chips of the edges and also the snow is covering it so well have pressure on it. Besides the altitude plays a major part of it.
Why does the boiling temperature of water decrease when the water is under reduced pressure such as it is in a higher altitude?
Reduced pressure lessens the squeezing of molecules, which favors their tendency to separate and form vapor.
