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? A. Inverse plot, 0. 45 kilograms/meter3 B. Inverse plot, 0. 51 kilograms/meter3 C. Quadratic plot, 1. 05 kilograms/meter3 D. Inverse plot, 1. 23 kilograms/meter3 E. Inverse plot, 0. 95 kilograms/meter3.

Answer 1

The altitude and atmospheric density are inversely related and the atmospheric density at 1291 km is 0.51 km/m³.

What is the relationship between Altitude and atmospheric density?

The atmospheric density is decreasing with an increase in altitude, thus altitude and atmospheric density are inversely related.

In the given plot, 1291 km must be closer to the 1000 km point with the corresponding atmospheric density of 54 kg/m³.

Therefore, the altitude and atmospheric density are inversely related and the atmospheric density at 1291 km is 0.51 km/m³.
