Question

The density of atmosphere (measured in kilograms/meter3) on a certain planet is found to decrease as altitude increases (as measured from the planet's surface). What type of relationship exists between the altitude and the atmospheric density, and what would the atmospheric density be at an altitude of 1,291 kilometers?

Answer 1

Explanation :

It is given that, the density of atmosphere ( in $kg/m^3$ ) on a certain planet is found to decrease as altitude increases.

It implies that there is an inverse relation between the atmospheric density and altitude.

Altitude of 1,291 km lies in between point A and point B. So, the atmospheric density lies in between $0.30\ kg/m^3$ and $0.54\ kg/m^3$.

Or the density at an altitude of 1,291 km should be less than $0.30\ kg/m^3$ and more than  $0.54\ kg/m^3$.

So, the atmospheric density at an altitude of 1,291 km will be approximately  $0.45\ kg/m^3$.

Answer 2

Answer:

So, the atmospheric density at an altitude of 1,291 km will be approximately  0.45\ kg/m^3.
