  2. Kite flying

  3. The lifting of balloon filled with

  4. Take off of rocket

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Due to present difference.

As we go higher and higher atmospheric pressure _______.

physics pressure in liquids and gases common consequences of the atmospheric pressure atmospheric pressure and its consequences important points about atmospheric pressure

  1. Increases

  2. Decreases

  3. Remains Same

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As we go to higher attitudes, atmospheric pressure decreases due to less air molecules on comparision to that at sea level. 

Atmospheric pressure decreases with increase in height.

physics pressure in liquids and gases common consequences of the atmospheric pressure atmospheric pressure and its consequences important points about atmospheric pressure

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure decreases with increase in height & pressure at a point at height h.

               P = Po - Sgh.

A given mass of gas occupies a volume $100 c.c$ at one atmosphere pressure and temperature of $100^oC$. Temperature being the same, the volume of the gas atmosphere pressure is

physics pressure in liquids and gases common consequences of the atmospheric pressure atmospheric pressure and its consequences important points about atmospheric pressure

  1. $100 c.c$

  2. $400c.c$

  3. $25c.c$

  4. $200c.c$

Show answer
Correct Option: B

The density of the atmosphere at sea level is 1.29 $kg/m^{2}$. assume that it does not change with altitude. then how high would the atmosphere extend?

physics pressure in liquids and gases common consequences of the atmospheric pressure atmospheric pressure and its consequences important points about atmospheric pressure

  1. 3 km

  2. 7 km

  3. 8 km

  4. 9 km

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
We know that $p=pgh$
p is atmospheric pressure, g in acceration due to gravity
$p = 1.29 kg/m^{2} ; p-=1.013\times 10\, N/m$
$\therefore h=\dfrac{p}{pg}=\dfrac{1.013\times 10^{5}}{1.29\times 9.8}$  $= 8013 \,km$
hence atmospheric extended 8013 km high from the sea level

we do not get crushed by the atmospheric pressure as the out internal pressure and the atmospheric pressure are?

physics pressure in liquids and gases common consequences of the atmospheric pressure atmospheric pressure and its consequences important points about atmospheric pressure

  1. equal

  2. greater

  3. lower

  4. none of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A

Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude.

physics pressure in liquids and gases common consequences of the atmospheric pressure atmospheric pressure and its consequences important points about atmospheric pressure

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A

The pressure P of a gas and its mean translational KE per unit volume are related as:

physics pressure in liquids and gases common consequences of the atmospheric pressure atmospheric pressure and its consequences important points about atmospheric pressure

  1. $P=\dfrac{1}{2}E$

  2. $P=E$

  3. $P=\dfrac{3}{2}E$

  4. $P=(\dfrac{2}{3})E$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$\begin{array}{l} \therefore \, \, { V _{ rms } }=\sqrt { \dfrac { { 3PV } }{ M }  }  \ E=\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 } M\, \, { V _{ rms } }^{ 2 }=\dfrac { 3 }{ 2 } PV=\dfrac { 3 }{ 2 } P\, \, \left[ { \therefore \, \, V=1 } \right]  \end{array}$
