In relation to internal combustion engines, it matters because as the altitude rises the air gets thinner. As each intake charge is sucked into the engine and compressed in the combustion chambers there is less oxygen content the higher you go. This alters the fuel to air mixture and the performance of the engine.

Most modern vehicles combine the altitude/air pressure sensor with the airflow meter, so it is not normally an issue.

What is the property of matter that is dependent to altitude?

The property of matter that is dependent on altitude is atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the decrease in the weight of the air above. This decrease in pressure affects various aspects of the environment, such as boiling points of liquids and gas behavior.

Does mass and weight change with altitude or elevation?

Mass does not change with changes in altitude or elevation. Weight on the other hand does change. However, on earth the change from sea level to the top of a mountain would be extremely small.


Is altitude a continuous variable?

Sure. Whatever two altitudes you name, no matter how close together they are,I can always name another altitude that's in between yoursIn fact I can name an infinite number of other altitudes that are all between yours.That's all because there's no number that altitude can'tbe. That's a pretty gooddefinition of what "continuous" means ... no number that it's not allowed to be.

What is a measure of the force of air particles pushing on other matter?

Air pressure is a measure of the force exerted by air particles pushing on other matter. It is typically measured using a barometer and is influenced by factors such as altitude, temperature, and weather conditions.
