How would a barometer reading change if you went to a higher altitude?
As you go to a higher altitude, the barometer reading would decrease because atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude. This is due to the lower density of air molecules at higher altitudes.
What changes in air pressure what would you expect if you carried a barometer down a mine shaft?
Density and air pressure will increase, while altitude decreases.
What instutment would you use to measure air preesure?
a barometer... and it is invented by torricelli..
If a meterologist says that air pressure is getting lower what would you expect to see happen to torriclli's mercury barometer?
If air pressure is getting lower, you would expect to see the mercury in Torricelli's barometer rise. This is because low air pressure allows the mercury in the barometer tube to be pushed up by the weight of the atmosphere.
How high would the level be in an alcohol barometer at normal atmospheric pressure?
In an alcohol barometer, the alcohol level would rise to about 13.6 inches at normal atmospheric pressure.
How would the reading of a barometer change as you decrease in altitude?
As you decrease in altitude, the reading of a barometer will increase. This is because atmospheric pressure is higher at lower elevations due to the greater weight of the air above. Consequently, a barometer measures this increased pressure, resulting in a higher reading as you descend.
What would a barometer reading be if you there was no barometric pressure?
A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, so if there was no barometric pressure, the barometer reading would likely show a value of zero or indicate an error. Atmospheric pressure is necessary for the functioning of a barometer.
What reading would a barometer give in Madison'Wisconsin?
A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, and its reading in Madison, Wisconsin, would typically be around 29.92 inches of mercury (inHg) at sea level under standard conditions. However, this value can fluctuate based on weather patterns, with lower readings indicating stormy weather and higher readings suggesting fair conditions. For an accurate current reading, a local weather service or a personal barometer would need to be consulted.
How can an aneroid barometer give reading in inches of mercury when it doesn't use any mercury?
Good question.Look at it like this if you had two barometers side by side, one a mercury barometer and the other a barometer that reacted to changes in air pressure using some bellows and a spring.Then, as the pressure changed you marked the second barometer positions and noted on the dial the inches reading from the mercury barometer, the second barometer measurement scale would mimic the real mercury barometer even though it did not actually use any mercury.
How would a barometer reading change with a cold front?
A barometer reading would change with a cold front because the density of mercury will change with temperature, so a reading must be adjusted for the temperature of the instrument. For this purpose a mercury thermometer is usually mounted on the instrument. Temperature compensation of an aneroid barometer is accomplished by including a bi-metal element in the mechanical linkages. Aneroid barometers sold for domestic use typically have no compensation.
How would a barometer reading change if you went to a higher altitude?
As you go to a higher altitude, the barometer reading would decrease because atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude. This is due to the lower density of air molecules at higher altitudes.
When would the barometer be used?
The most commonly barometer used today would be a Aneroid.

If a mercury barometer were carried up a mountain how would you expect the height of mercury column to change?
As a mercury barometer is taken up a mountain, the height of the mercury column would decrease. This occurs because atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, leading to less force exerted on the mercury in the barometer. Consequently, the lower atmospheric pressure results in a shorter column of mercury being supported.
Would it be hot or cold if a barometer was dropping?
A barometer does not measure temperature it measures pressure.
