Which factor causes atmospheric pressure? A. Altitude above sea level. B. Weight of the atmosphere above the surface. C. Air currents in the atmosphere over the ocean. D. Sizes and shapes of clouds.

B. Weight of the atmosphere above the surface.

Explanation:

The pressure that the atmosphere of the earth exerts is termed to be the atmospheric pressure. This pressure is applied on the surface of the air because of the gravitational pull. With the increase in altitude, the atmospheric pressure decreases. The atmospheric weight pushes itself downwards because of the gravity, this creates the pressure. The factor that causes atmospheric pressure is the 'Weight of the atmosphere above the surface.'

current and voltage can both be different in different parts of a circuit so it matters where you place the ammeter and voltmete

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
