5. As your airplane takes off from an airstrip on the ground and rises 30,000 feet into the sky, what happens to the air pressure on the outside of the airplane? (1 point) The air pressure decreases. The air pressure increases. The air pressure stays the same. More information is needed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have you ever ridden in an airplane before? If you have, remember how your ears need to "pop" otherwise it is uncomfortable. They do this because the air pressure is changing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the two (height and pressure) are inversely related. As one goes up the other goes down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer to my question woud b that the pressure increases because when you go up in an airplane it would seem as if more pressure is coming towards you..am i rite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite. It is actually decreasing. Height and pressure as inversely related, meaning as one goes up the other goes down.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r u serious..that kind doesnt make any sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, what doesn't make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe its bcuz ive never been in a plane ..but m just thinking that when you goup,,there is morepressure comin towards you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well have you ever heard of athletes (like Olympians) training at high altitudes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeayeayeay

OpenStudy (phi):

If it helps, pressure is the weight of the air. If you go up high, there is less air weighing on you.

ohok that helps....ikinda see yalls point now
