Question

Air pressure may be represented as a function of height above the surface of
the Earth as shown below.
000121
P(h)= Pe
In this function, Po is air pressure at sea level, and his measured in meters.
Which of the following equations will find the height at which air pressure is
85% of the air pressure at sea level?

Answer 1

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

just took it

Answer 2

The following equation 0.85 P₀ = P₀ $\rm e^{-0.00012h}$ will find the height at which air pressure is 85% of the air pressure at sea level

What is Air Pressure ?

The pressure exerted by air is called atmospheric pressure.

It is given that

P(h)=P₀ $\rm e^{-0.00012h}$

Air pressure: P(h)

Height above the surface of the Earth (in meters): h

Air pressure at the sea level: P₀

Height at which air pressure is 85% of the air pressure at sea level:

h=?

P(h)=85% P₀

P(h)=(85/100) P₀

P(h)=0.85 P₀

Replacing P(h) by 0.85 P₀ in the formula above:

P(h)=P₀ $\rm e^{-0.00012h}$

0.85 P₀ = P₀ $\rm e^{-0.00012h}$

Therefore Option A is the correct answer.
