Warm Up Task.

1) Newtons (N)

2) Pascals (Pa)

3) N/kg

4) 2 kg

5) 5000 N

6) 100 N/m2

7) 1300 Pa

8) 50 Nm

Independent Practice
1) As height increases, pressure decreases thus the density of the atmosphere changes.

2) Because the density of the atmosphere decreases there are signi cantly few particles in a
xed volume. This therefore results in fewer collisions between particles causing there to be a
lower pressure.

3) 2700 N

Exam Style Questions

1) As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.

2) 4000 m

3) It's dangerous because of the extremely low levels of atmospheric pressure, around 30 kPa.
Therefore there is signi cantly less oxygen available to breathe in.

4) The atmosphere cools causing molecules to travel at slower pace.
