Air Air density Density Earth Height

AI Thread Summary

Air density decreases with increasing altitude, starting at 0.001275 g/cm^3 at sea level. A graph or table illustrating air density at various heights above Earth is sought for better understanding. A reference link to a chart showing air density versus altitude is provided for further exploration. This information is crucial for applications in aviation and meteorology. Understanding the relationship between air density and altitude is essential for various scientific and engineering calculations.

Thread 'Is space stretching or is new space being created?'

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
